Thank you so much for this!
I just have a few questions:
Can two orange tulips from seed red and yellows make a black? I only ask because I've got a couple orange tulips from there and I now have black tulips, not purple tulips
If I'm breeding a seed red with a blue pansy (From seed whites), can the hybrid red spawn next to the seed red, away from the blue pansy?
Finally, is there a way to test if my orange roses are from a hybrid island? That sounds so silly, I know! But I put all my orange roses together (from red and yellow roses and from the hybrid island) so I don't know if I'm breeding a mix or the wrong variants. One cluster spawned a red rose and they usually spawn more oranges, never noticed anything else
Thank you for any help anyone can give me!

I appreciate it tbh! All the hybrid guides I've found have been way too difficult for me to understand and then I get overwhelmed trying to understand them.

Yup, two orange roses that were spawned from red and yellow tulip seed bags can spawn black tulips 18.75% of the time, while purple tulips are only 6.25% of the time. Also, the orange tulips that are produced from these two have a 12.5% chance of spawning an orange tulip that have better genetics similar to the ones you find on hybrid islands, so replace the parents with the orange children. If you get the correct one, your odds for purple will go up to 12.5% and if you get two of them, they'll go up even more to 25%.
The hybrid red pansy can spawn in any surround tile of the parent flowers, so yes, it can spawn near the red pansy.
As for testing for island hybrid orange roses that you got from hybrid islands, test the orange with a white rose from a seed bag, if you get a pink rose its an island hybrid orange rose. You might have to test a few times as the pink rose only has a 37.5% chance of spawning.
Oh wow thank you so much!
I think I got an orange tulip spawn and put it on my beach, unsure what to do with it!
Is it best for me to breed this orange tulip with its parents or could they mess up genetics?
Thanks for the quick reply!

Nope, shouldn't mess up the genetics. Best way I can explain the genetics is that for tulips there are three 'genes' : Red, Yellow and White.
- Each of these genes have a value from 0 to 2. Orange tulips from seed red and seed yellow will have the following genes: 1, 1, 0.
- Pairing two of these together, you will have a 37.5% chance for an orange tulip to spawn.
- 25% of these orange tulips will have 1, 1, 0 while the other 12.5% of these orange tulips will have 1, 2, 0 which are the same genes as ones found on hybrid islands if the player is able to come across them.
- By replacing an orange tulip with 1, 1, 0 with a 1, 2, 0 orange tulip your odds of getting an orange tulip increase to 50%.
- 25% of those orange tulips will be 1, 1, 0 while the other 25% will be 1, 2, 0. Your odds of a purple tulip also increase to 12.5% while also decreasing the chance of a black tulip to 12.5%.
- Getting a second 1, 2, 0 and replacing the remaining 1, 1, 0 will make it so purple tulips are 25%.
Edit: And this is why I decided to keep this stuff off my main post, gets super confusing lol.
Ah, thank you so much!
My A Level in Biology is actually helping me a lot right now. I used to hate plant biology, but Punnet squares are helping me contextualise this a bit more!
Keep up the great work

Lol thank you. I know absolutely nothing about Biology but I've always been a quick learner. XD
A few questions~ Forgive me if they seem foolish or overly complicated. I tried to explain them in detail, but if anyone can help out, I'd really be thankful. I'm just starting to get into hybrid breeding now, so I'm entirely new to this concept.
1. do hybrids also work as basic colors. example - would a hybrid red pansy (created with a basic red and blue), be able to combine with a basic yellow pansy to create an orange? or is a hybrid red considered it's own separate color. I'm asking this so I know if I could eventually get rid of my basic reds, or if I'll need to hold on to them. To try to simplify, could I do (hybrid-red & basic-yellow to make orange? or does it need to be basic-red &basic-yellow?)
2. is there always a certain chance that parents can produce the same colored result. Example, once I get 2 purple hyacinths, can I simply use those two to create more purples, or will I need to continue breeding for purple using 2 orange?
3. when a combination has a 100% chance of producing something (for example, a red mum and a white mum is listed as having 100% chance of creating a pink mum), does that mean these instances never have a chance of producing the parents?

1. Hybrid colours are the same colours (red, white, etc), they just have different genetics compared to their seed bag counterpart. For the most part, you can use them like you would a seed bag version, however results will vary greatly depending on its genetics. I'd recommend always having seed bag flowers on hand, as they're often useful for testing in more involved methods, though you can discard them if you have seed bags in storage, it may just be a bit annoying if you don't have any fully grown on hand at the time.
2. You technically only need one flower of a colour to produce more, since the cloning mechanic allows you to duplicate flowers and is often more faster than breeding two colours together. However, you can get more of the same colour from two purples, etc.
3. Basically, yeah. Every parent combination has results that add up to 100% with each child having a certain percentage tied to them. In Pink Mums' case, a seed white and seed red have a 100% chance of a Pink Mum, and not a red or white flower. Compare this to a seed white and seed red lily, 50% of the children will be a pink lily while the other 50% will be a white lily with different genetics.
For blue Rose's method 2 I had my purple from white set aside until I could get yellow Rose's from seed to test. Both purples produced yellow on their own. Does that mean they are both hybrids? They were not next to each other or any other flowers. Do I still need to breed them with yellow to test I hybrids?

The purple roses from the first step? Those should never produce yellow roses on their own, since they won't have the genetics to do so unless you have them paired with other roses with genetics in the yellow areas.
Also, you mean they were not touching ANY other rose? They shouldn't produce flowers without any other flower of the same type touching them, only clone themselves so if they were purple, they'd only duplicate purple roses.
And if you mean you wish to test the purple roses from step 1 (two white roses), that isn't what the method states at all. You don't do any testing until Step 3.

I know one of the yellow came from two whites that I have now moved. Not sure about 2nd yellow. The purples cloned themselves so I will seperate them. I am waiting for the white hybrid1 to then pair with the purple. Sorry I wasn't clear on my post. Rose breeding is not easy. I stared over with seeds last week. I just got yellow seeds so I am just waiting for them to bloom.

I know I said I'd try to get something put up in the next couple days, but the lack of motivation and dumb IRL stuff going on is really getting me lately... so I don't think I'll have any new additions to the guide this week. Sorry, guys. I'm pretty disappointed in myself.
Terraria's final huge content update being this weekend doesn't help much, either.

Thank you so much for the guide. just one quick question, for the second method for blue rose. Does White Rose (Hybrid 1) need to specifically came from Yellow-White parents? I didn't read it carefully and used lots of them from White-White parent.

Yeah, it does. This hybrid white has very specific genetics. There are likely other combinations but this one is best.
@Khaelis had a question about some of the special hybrid breeding - so I breed a red seed mum and a yellow seed mum for a hybrid yellow mum > breed hybrid yellow mums hoping for green or purple mums - if I get a yellow offspring from the hybrid yellows, should I keep breeding it with its parent hybrid yellows, or toss it? Same for hybrid red pansies I'm breeding for purples, hybrid blue pansies I'm breeding for purples, etc.
