Set Up
Petal-Chi will play best on a smooth, flat surface. Make certain the area is clear of obstacles so Petal-Chi can dance and sing. Petal-Chi should always be played with indoors.

Watering
Feeding Petal-Chi is an important step in its development. To feed Petal-Chi place the special watering can over the “water me here” label on the soil. Petal-Chi can die from lack of water or too much. Please see below for watering tips:
• 5 water sounds + 1 burp = needs more water
• 3 water sounds + 1 burp = perfect amount of water
•1 water sound + 1 burp = too much water - Do not attempt to open the watering can.
- Avoid placing the watering can close to any magnetic-sensitive object like a cassette tape, video tape, magnetic disk, credit, etc.
Wither
If you do not take good care of your Petal-Chi it will wither. The funeral song will start to play and Petal-Chi’s face will go blank, the petals will wither and it goes back to the first stage again. At this point
you will have to start all over again with Petal-Chi.
Talking to Petal-Chi
Petal-Chi reacts to sound, so talking to your
Petal-Chi or playing music for it is very important.

Stages
The more attention Petal-Chi receives the faster it will move through the 3 stages of development.
Stage 1 – Limited basic actions. In this stage the petals are closed because Petal-Chi is very young and has to grow. Petal-Chi does not sing in this stage. It only makes Pi, Po and Pa sounds. ***Very Important – it takes 15 minutes to move to Stage2. To make Petal-Chi grow faster in this stage water it more, talk to it a lot and play music for it. This will make Petal-Chi grow up A LOT faster! In this stage Petal-Chi cannot wither from too much water, so you can feed it as much as you want.
Stage 2 – Basic actions, Petal-Chi starts to sing short songs, its face gets more expressions and its petals open up. This is a very important stage – The way you take care of Petal-Chi in this stage determines the character it will be in stage 3. If Petal-Chi is left alone for more than 3 minutes it will go to sleep. Please refer to sleeping section for details. ***Please note – in this stage Petal-Chi will wither with too much water.
Stage 3 – Basic actions and events (character development is an event). In this stage Petal-Chi becomes one of four characters. If you have taken very good care of Petal-Chi it will switch into another character after the first one.
Characters
For each character, Petal-Chi will play 10 different songs (40 songs total) in different genres of music ranging from nursery rhymes to rock and roll! The only way to get to the next character is to water and play with Petal-Chi. Don’t water it too much or Petal-Chi will wither.
1. Adorable Baby 2. Young Lady 3. Teenage Rocker 4. Awkward Chap
Interaction
Besides having fun with you, Petal-Chi likes to hang out with other Petal-Chi friends! Place two or more Petal-Chi’s next to each other and watch them sing and dance together! Petal-Chi flowers react to sound, so if one singing Petal-Chi is placed next to another quiet Petal-Chi, then the quiet Petal-Chi will start to sing and dance as well. (The quiet Petal-Chi must be “On” for the sound activation to work).
Attention
Petal-Chi will make certain noises to clue you in on what it needs. Petal-Chi will make a beep sound to indicate that it has received your attention. Please refer to the following for hints:
Water running sound = needs water. Once you give it to Petal-Chi it will sing and dance. You have to be fast!!! If you wait too long to give Petal-Chi water, the buzzer sounds and that means you have just lost points in the game.
