Jade vine


 * This article is about the plant grown for the Back to my Roots quest. For the maze in Karamja, see Jade Vine Maze. For the monster that the jade vine can become if not pruned, see Wild jade vine

Jade vine is plant grown during Back to my roots quest which can be grown daily to earn farming experience. As a plant, Jade Vine can be grown at level 53 Farming from a Jade vine seed. The Jade Vine can only be grown in the west patch located in front of Lord Handelmort's mansion, in East Ardougne (Farmer Horacio is growing a Jade vine in the east patch). Planting Jade Vine seeds gives 76 experience. Farmer Horacio will watch the patch for 10 wildblood hops. If the jade vine is not pruned, it can become a wild jade vine and has to be killed using slayer before the player can plant another jade vine seed.

Jade Vines take about 12 hours to grow (range 5.5 to 24 hours). Wearing an Amulet of nature will give an alert if it becomes diseased or fully grown. Once the plant has fully grown, it can be checked for 1500 farming experience. After about 1/2 hour, the vine will grow a branch and a new option 'Prune' will appear. Pruning with a pair of secateurs gives 30 Farming experience. Jade Vines can grow up to five branches. Just like any plant grown with Farming, the Jade Vine can become diseased during any stage of its growth. If a diseased Jade Vine is left unattended for too long, it will die.

Trivia

 * Horacio stated during the quest: If you let this species get wild by leaving it unpruned, it will attack anything. Some closely related species that can pop up pretty much anywhere has a large purple fruit, you've probably seen it. He is referring to the Strange plant or Stranger Plant (summoning pouch).
 * The scientific name of the real-life jade vine is strongylodon macrobotrys. It has been suggested by some that Jagex chose to use this plant for the quest was because the scientific name contains the words "macro" and "bot".
 * The Jade Vine will not need pruning or killing until you have checked its health.
