# Care Items (Elements)

The full Pixotchi item shop: nine care elements with live prices and effects, bundles, and buying tips.

Care items, called "elements", are how you actively grow your plant. Some add **PTS** (score), some add **TOD** (lifetime), and the premium ones add both.

{% hint style="info" %}
Prices and effects are onchain settings. The app reads them live, and the table above reflects the August 2026 configuration. Roughly: **\~2.8 PTS per SEED** on point items, and premium hybrids trade a small premium for convenience.

## How buying works

* Items apply **instantly** to the selected plant. There's no inventory to manage.
* **Smart wallets can bundle up to 80 items in one transaction** (and it's usually gas-sponsored). Ten Sunlights in one tap is a classic mission-day move.
* Only **living** plants can receive items. A dead plant must be revived first (5 SEED).
* Every purchase burns 70% of the SEED you spend, so you're growing your plant *and* shrinking SEED supply.

## Not in this shop

* **The Fence**, the defensive item that blocks attacks, lives with the combat systems. See Attacks & Defense.
* **Land production**: Solar Panels, Soil Factory, and Bee Farm generate PTS and TOD *daily* without spending SEED. If you find yourself buying lots of items, a [Land](/game-mechanics/lands.md) pays for itself.

## Which item should I buy?

* **"My plant is about to die!"** Water (or Pollinator if you can't check in tomorrow).
* **"I want to climb the leaderboard."** Fertilizer or Magic Soil for pure efficiency; Botano for big pushes.
* **"I'm away for the weekend."** Moonlight (\~3 days) or Nitro (3 days plus a huge score bump).
* **"It's mission day."** Ten cheap Sunlights complete the *Buy 10 elements* task while adding 480 PTS.
