Waterleaf is a type of herb which appears as a very small, aqua-colored sprout. It grows on Sand and Pearlsand blocks in any type of Desert biome and can be cut with virtually any weapon or tool. On PC, Console, Mobile, Old Chinese, tModLoader, and tModLoader Legacy, it can also be planted in Clay Pots and Planter Boxes using Waterleaf Seeds, which drop from blooming Waterleaf.
Waterleaf will only bloom once fully grown and when it is raining or snowing. While blooming, its appearance will change, becoming larger and speckled with aqua leaves. A blooming Waterleaf will also emit little globes of water. Note that it does not need to be raining or snowing directly on the plant in order for it to bloom, rain or snow just needs to be falling.
On the Old-gen console version, Windows Phone version, and Nintendo version, Waterleaf plants are required to be at least partially submerged in water before they bloom and drop seeds. It does not matter if it is raining or not.
Both Waterleaf and their respective seeds have a chance to be obtained from the Herb Bag.
