Rotten Plant is a foraged item that appears on the farm during winter when a previously planted crop has died. It has no use and cannot be sold, eaten, or gifted. Instead, it serves as a reminder to players to harvest their crops before the season changes, as it represents the decay of unattended plants. It can be disposed of by using a scythe or by picking it up and placing it in the trash bin.
