The confirmed Loftia crop situation: 10 basic and 5 exotic crops announced for hydroponic farming, plus Bioluminescent Ivy, rest pending.
Loftia Crops List: What Is Confirmed So Far
Quick answer: Loftia has one hard crop number in its official record. On November 30, 2022 the developers announced 10 basic crops and 5 exotic crops for hydroponic farming, and they have never published those 15 names as text. The only plant family named officially is Bioluminescent Ivy, revealed February 28, 2023 with five flower variations; the only crop names in official demo text are carrot and clover. As of the October 2026 Steam Next Fest demo, no crop has a published grow time, yield, seed price or nutrient cost. The full list with real numbers arrives with Early Access on November 3, 2026.
- 15 crops announced for hydroponic farming: 10 basic plus 5 exotic.
- 1 named plant family: Bioluminescent Ivy, with 5 flower variations listed by name.
- 2 crop names in 2026 official demo text: carrot seeds and clover.
- 0 published numbers for grow time, yield, seed price, sell price or Super Crops odds.
- Everything else is coming in Early Access on November 3, 2026.

That post shows the crop art as images, captioned "Our first 10 basic crops!" and "And our first 5 exotic crops!", so the count exists while the names do not. A fan list of fifteen Loftia crops is reading promotional art, not a developer index.
The January 2023 update added the first category beyond that split: mushrooms and herbs, species chosen from community suggestions and grown on hydroponic machines in a space-efficient way, with flowers flagged as next. It also documents LoftiaBot, the Discord farming bot where the team jokes that tomato is the superior crop.

Bioluminescent Ivy: the only crop family named in official text
| Variation | Official status | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Pom Pom Chrysanthemum | Bioluminescent Ivy flower variation | Feb 2023 |
| Monkey Cup | Bioluminescent Ivy flower variation | Feb 2023 |
| Fly Agaric Mushroom | Bioluminescent Ivy flower variation | Feb 2023 |
| Canterbury Bell Flower | Bioluminescent Ivy flower variation | Feb 2023 |
| Fuchsia | Bioluminescent Ivy flower variation | Feb 2023 |
The February 2023 update describes these as flowers modified with foxfire fungi so they produce a continuous glow, meant to light the city at night and cut the need for electricity.
Official source: Loftian Skies: February, 2023
Nothing official says Bioluminescent Ivy counts toward the five exotic crops. It is a separate reveal, and counting it as one of the five is an assumption.
Crop names that appear in the 2026 demo
| Name | Where it appears | What is confirmed | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrot | Demo patch notes #1 | Carrot seeds exist in the demo; the tool wheel tutorial was rebuilt because players could not find them | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Clover | Known issues page | A clover colour string is assembled dynamically in game, so translations read oddly | Oct 21, 2026 |
| Tomato | Dev blog, LoftiaBot | Named as a crop grown and bought in the Discord bot | Jan 31, 2023 |
| Watermelon | Dev blog, LoftiaBot | Named as a crop grown and bought in the Discord bot | Jan 31, 2023 |
| Unnamed seeds | Known issues page | Quest seeds and seeds bought from Hazel, the seed shop owner, open via the tool wheel | Oct 21, 2026 |
Community-reported items, dated October 22, 2026, not confirmed by the developers:
| Item | What players report | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Dew | Players call the in-game currency Dew and describe selling crops for it and buying plots that cost thousands of it | Community-reported, name not confirmed officially |
| No community crop index | A sweep of roughly 220 live Steam demo reviews on October 22, 2026 found nobody naming individual crops | Community-reported |
There is no fan database of Loftia crops to lean on, because the game has not shipped.
The rows that have no source yet
| Question | Official answer | Filled in at |
|---|---|---|
| Which crops are the 10 basic ones | Not published | Seed shop, Early Access launch |
| Which crops are the 5 exotic ones | Not published | Early Access launch |
| Grow time per crop and yield per harvest | Not published | In-game seed data |
| Optimal water, oxygen, nutrient and light values | Factors named, no numbers | In-game |
| Odds of a Super Crops roll | Only that there is a chance | Early Access launch |
| Seed price in Dew | Not published | Hazel the seed shop owner |
Every Early Access launch row above resolves on November 3, 2026.
Any yield, drop rate, grow timer or seed price written before November 3, 2026 is guesswork dressed as data. A page listing grow times for fifteen Loftia crops cannot come from the developers.
The four factors behind every crop
All four are factors you control to affect crop yield, and no numbers were published for any of them.
| Factor | Numbers published |
|---|---|
| Water | No |
| Oxygen | No |
| Nutrients | No |
| Light | No |
The factors come from the hydroponic infographic published in November 2022, the same post carrying the crop counts. Growing tools run on renewable energy, sun, wind and rain, and patch notes #1 from October 21, 2026 states that solar panels now generate more energy in rain and at night. The growing mechanic is in Loftia Farming Basics: Solarpunk Growing Methods, and the station tier is in Loftia Hydroponics and Super Crops Explained.

What arrives on November 3, 2026

Official source: Loftia Early Access
The demo gives you a starter plot and a seed shop, but the roster, the stations and the Super Crops tier land together: it previews the loop, not the roster. The community farms are in Loftia Hanging Gardens: What Early Access Adds, the perk system in Loftia Proficiencies and Perks Explained, and the food side in Loftia Cooking and Recipes: What's Known.
Farming right now in the demo
- Buy seeds from Hazel, whose official occupation is Seed Shop Owner.
- Seeds you own can sit invisible in your bag. Hold down R to open the tool wheel, then left-click the item from your inventory.
- Patch notes #1 reworked the tool wheel tutorial because players were struggling to find their carrot seeds.
- Your Farming proficiency caps at Level 5 in the demo, a demo limit rather than the final ceiling, and the demo runs until October 26, 2026.
- Quests, items, character progression and your character name all carry over into Early Access.
The first-session route is in Loftia Beginner Guide: First Steps in the Demo, and the carry-over rules are in Loftia Demo Progress and What Carries Over.
How this table gets finished
When Early Access opens on November 3, 2026, this table on loftia-guide.wiki gets rewritten against live data:
- Write down every seed Hazel's shop sells, with its price in Dew.
- Plant one of each, time it against the in-game clock, and record grow time and yield.
- Nudge each of the four factors off its default and record what changes.
The demo leaves Steam on October 26, 2026. Time the crops yourself in the next four days and keep your notes.
FAQ
How many crops are in Loftia? 15 for hydroponic farming, announced November 30, 2022 as 10 basic plus 5 exotic, and not updated since. Treat it as the last announced figure, not the launch roster.
What is Bioluminescent Ivy? A glowing flowering plant introduced on February 28, 2023. Official text describes flowers modified with foxfire fungi that give off a continuous glow, in five named variations: Pom Pom Chrysanthemum, Monkey Cup, Fly Agaric Mushroom, Canterbury Bell Flower and Fuchsia.
Can I plant all 15 crops in the demo? No. The demo exposes a starter plot and the seeds Hazel sells; the full hydroponic line, including Hydroponics Stations and Super Crops, is coming in Early Access on November 3, 2026.
Is there an official Loftia crop list anywhere? No. The crop names have only ever appeared as images in the developer blog, and the only named plants in text are the Bioluminescent Ivy variations, carrot and clover.
