Sacred Sprout

The Sacred Sprout (also called the Sacred Bud) is a magical plant introduced in Season 4.

Overview
The Sacred Sprout acts as both the source of magic to Diana, Major Fairy of Nature, as well as the source of the Earth's wild natural energy. With it, Diana commands total control over the planet's natural life (mainly the plant and animal life). Also, according to legends passed down by a tribe of people native to Amazonia, destroying the Sacred Bud can result in Diana's demise but doing so may very well cause the planet's nature to die alongside her.

As such a crucial item to Diana, the Sacred Sprout is hidden within the Nymph Waterfalls which are located within the deepest part of Amazonia, Diana's kingdom, where she and her followers, the Amazon Fairies, may guard it from those harboring malicious intent.

Appearance
The Scared Bud appears as a very pale cyan flower with blue tear drop shaped spots on the petals with three dark green tendrils striking out underneath. The Bud is floating in a transparent light green energy orb.

Season 4
The Sprout is discovered by Tecna, Bloom and Stella in "In Diana's Kingdom" floating in the Nymph Waterfalls. Their presence alerts the native tribe, the two groups greet each other and the tribal leader share their side of the story while helping connect with the sprout.

In "The Gifts of Destiny", since coming into contact with the Scared Sprout, Diana is alerted of this and orders her Amazonian Fairies to gather a team and stop them at the waterfalls. Meanwhile, Tecna, Bloom, and Stella learn that the Sacred Sprout is the source of Diana's power of nature. Tecna suggests destroying it to stop Diana but the tribal leader warns that by doing so, nature too will cease to live. And so, they decide to find another safer alternative in stopping Diana.

Their conversation however, comes to an abrupt end as the Amazonian Fairies assault and chase them out of the waterfall. The three Winx fairies lose the chase and join their friends in the temple prison.

Time is now of the essence because the lumberjacks increase their wood output which in turn weaken the Amazonian Fairies and Flora. The Amazonian Fairies are much too weak to stop the lumberjacks and their leader, and are tied up. The Winx managed to free themselves and the Specialists using a Sophix Convergence and help the Amazonian Fairies, finally able to convince Diana that they here to help.

And so, while the Specialists deal with the human threat, the fairies head over to the Nymph Waterfalls again to hopefully save the Sacred Sprout. When they arrive, they see that the sprout is very wilted and on the verge of death. The Winx this time use their special Sophix powers to heal nature and thus, returning the sprout's vitality.
