After receiving the delivery of the seeds he requested, Emery suddenly became even more obsessed with experiments as if he had been injected with a drug. He gradually lost track of time as he delved deeper into his experiments.
In Alfa station, the Arbor master shows him to grow the seeds exclusively using his spell. But then, the [Metamorphosis Theory], did state that planting and letting more natural growth would go a long way and also increase the chance of a successful result.
This gave Emery even more of a reason to quickly transform all the areas near the water source in the cave, turning them into areas suitable for his soon-to-be built garden. He even started planting a dozen of Earth's top plants, which he usually used for his apothecary recipes, including the Caracas Flower.
