For everyone confused like me:
- You do NOT use a catalyst like [item=176832] on the little catalyst plots to complete this quest.
- You use a catalyst SEED like [item=183522] on the actual fat seed pod (an empty one) to complete it.
- You just buy this seed from the vendor [npc=174403] standing right next to the quest NPC inside the conservatory.

thanks for this, they really need to stop doing stuff like this, it's not a secret mount or pet or transmog... for garrison-like things such as this they need to make things much more clear.
It has to used before you place the spirt into a pod, otherwise it will not work

What to do
Description
Within wildseeds, spirits slumber and grow. But so too can catalysts, when seeds take the place of spirits. Seed Merchant Daybreak trades in such seeds. She can supply you with the ones you seek. Choose one to plant within a wildseed. The forest holds its breath and awaits your choice.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
Getting there
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
- Objective area
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Catalyze This
The grove grows in power, and so shall the spirits it shelters. You have nurtured a spirit to rebirth on your own. Now you must learn to make use of catalysts. When planted near a wildseed, catalysts grant the slumbering spirit strength beyond what it knew in life.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Regrowth of the Grove
The grove thrives, my mortal friend, but there is yet room for it to grow. With enough anima, it can nourish even more wildseeds at once. Each one is a spirit that might otherwise be lost forever. Speak with Zayhad once again, and see to the regrowth of the conservatory.
