It is practical primarily as a dim light source around Seabases.+ +They can typically be found in the Grassy Plateaus Caves and the Northern Blood Kelp Zone, often hidden away in alcoves and small grottos, as well as on Reefback Leviathans.+ +## Gameplay+ +By cutting the plant with the knife, the player can obtain Rouge Cradle Seeds. Up to 9 seeds can be collected per plant; each slash grants 1 seed, while the final eighth slash gives 2. The seeds can then be planted in an Exterior Growbed or an Alien Containment.+ +One seed takes 1100 seconds (18:20 minutes) to grow into a fully mature Rouge Cradle plant.+ +### Bioreactor Output+- **+70 Energy**+ +## Appearance+ +The Rouge Cradle consists of a glowing yellow bulb, enclosed by a dull-red cage. It has a small star-shaped blue base made of sixteen leaves that elevates it slightly off the ground.+ +## Data Bank Entry+ +![660px-Rouge Cradle-0](https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn/images/thumb/Rouge_Cradle-0.png/660px-Rouge_Cradle-0.png?f897e)+ +> A complex, cave-dwelling flora specimen.
