Disney Dreamlight Valley Dreamlight Tree: How to plant and grow time

The Dreamlight Tree in Disney Dreamlight Valley is one of the many trees you can plant and grow in your Valley, and the Dreamlight Tree produces a key cooking ingredient called the Dreamlight Fruit.

This can be used in recipes like Dream Ice Cream and Sweet Udon. There are, however, many steps and requirements you must meet to get, plant, and grow the tree.

How to unlock the Dreamlight Tree in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Dreamlight Tree is tied to Simba from The Lion King Realm. Because of this, players cannot even attempt to add this fruit to their Valley until they have first unlocked Simba, which can only occur after first recruiting Nala.

Dreamlight Fruit from Dreamlight Trees will be unlocked after players complete Simba’s “Seed of Memories” quest. To make things even more complicated, this quest is tied to your friendship level with Simba.

How to start the “Seed of Memories” quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Players must meet a few prerequisites to unlock the Seed of Memories quest and, thus, the Dreamlight Tree with the fruit it produces. These requirements are:

1. Reach level seven friendship with Simba
2. Progress friendship with Scar. How much players need to progress is unclear, as the quest does not say, but players likely need to have at least a few levels with the nefarious lion.
3. Unlock the Forgotten Lands biome.

After meeting these requirements and progressing through the beginning dialogue associated with this quest, you can start the quest.

How to complete the Seed of Memories quest in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Seed of Memories quest, you must first get the Dreamlight Tree Seed. To do so, you must enter the Vitalys Mines and the Herbalist’s Room, visit Merlin and craft two specific potions, place the potions on the herbalist’s desk, and unlock the Dreamlight Tree.

Enter the Vitalys Mines and find the Herbalist’s Room

Players must enter Vitalys Mine in the Sunlit Plateau to search for a hidden entrance to the Herbalist’s Room, and you can do so by following these steps:

• Enter the mine and head right.
• Continue down the path and stop just before you enter the tunnels.
• You should find a sparkling set of rocks here.

After interacting with the sparkling rocks under the archway, you’ll find yourself inside a strange hidden room. This room is covered with mysterious markings and strange equipment you must interact with to progress.

Your character won’t know what to make of the puzzling room, so your next task is to visit Merlin.

Find Merlin and craft the Potions of Growth and Dust

Head out and find Merlin in the Valley. The easiest way is to open your map and look for his icon. Once you start talking to him, he will call it the “Herbalist Room” and says that to revive the Dreamlight Tree, we must craft the following potions:

• Potion of Growth
  • Three Dream Shards – This can be obtained by digging, feeding critters, or removing Night Thorns.
  • Six Blueberries – Can be harvested from the bushes on Dazzle Beach or the Forest of Valor.
  • One Empty Vial – Can be crafted using three glass.
• Potion of Dust
  • Three Night Shards – Can be dug out of sparkling mounds across the biomes.
  • Three Orange Marsh Milkweeds – Can be foraged from the Glade of Trust
  • One Empty Vial – Can be crafted using three glass.

After crafting both potions, return to the Herbalist’s Room in the Vitalys Mines.

Placing the potions and obtaining the Dreamlight Tree Seed

Inside the Herbalist’s Room, you can slot both potions into the table on the right side of the room, and doing so will spawn the Dreamlight Tree Seed.

You’ll then need to give the Dreamlight Tree Seed to Simba, who will guide you in planting it.

How to plant the Dreamlight Tree in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Dreamlight Tree Seed must be planted near the pond to the left of the Sunlit Plateau biome. If it’s a little confusing, don’t worry, as Simba should lead you to the correct spot.

Once you are at the right location, you must follow these steps to plant and grow the Dreamlight Tree:

1. Dig a spot for the plant
2. Place the seed in the ground just as you would any other crop.
3. Water the crop.
4. Continue watering the plant until it has fully grown.

Dreamlight Tree grow time in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Dreamlight Tree will take about three real-world days to grow, which means players will need to wait a while to complete both Simba’s Seed of Memories quest and to unlock Dreamlight Fruit. Make sure you water the plant as often as it requires.

Once the tree has fully grown, players must progress through the rest of Simba’s quest before Dreamlight Fruit becomes permanently obtainable in the Valley.

There is also a catch to this as well. You will only have the one Dreamlight Tree until you raise your friendship with Simba to level 10 and finish his The Dreamlight Grove quest, which will grant three more.

The quickest way to raise his friendship level is to choose a profession you use often and get him to tag along as you forage or fish. Most of my friends in the Valley are in the mining profession because it’s a great way to make gold and buy items from Scrooge’s store. But if you prefer harvesting or fishing, choose those professions for Simba, and you’ll level up quickly.

Dreamlight Tree’s Dreamlight Fruit spawn time

Once you have all three Dreamlight Trees in your Valley, they will sprout three Dreamlight Fruit every 24 hours. So you can collect up to a minimum of 12 per day.

But if you need more, you may get additional Dreamlight Fruits by working with a companion that specializes in Foraging at their side.

How to grow the Dreamlight Tree quickly in Disney Dreamlight Valley

While you can usually apply either the Miracle Growth Elixir or the Even More Miraculous Growth Elixir to speed up the growing process, players have been reporting doing so causes a bug that stops Dreamlight Fruit from spawning. Because of this, players might want to avoid utilizing it until Gameloft notices this issue.

This issue was addressed. Because it’s still in Early Access and bugs can occur, however, it’s probably best to avoid utilizing any elixirs for the Dreamlight Tree to avoid this bug.

But this is everything you need to know on how to get, plant, and grow the Dreamlight Tree for Dreamlight Fruit in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
