'''Cultivationspren''' are a type of sapient [[spren]] on [[Roshar]]. They are capable of forming a [[Nahel bond]], granting people the powers of the [[Edgedancers]].{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
== Appearance ==
=== Physical Realm ===
In the [[Physical Realm]], cultivationspren take the form of a vine that grows rapidly. This vine
=== Cognitive Realm ===
In [[Shadesmar]], cultivationspren are, like other sapient spren, humanoid. They appear to be composed mostly of vines, with hands made of crystal.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Their faces look as though they are composed of green string, and they all wear clothing, which doesn't seem to necessarily be part of their essence -- one female cultivationspren was spotted wearing a vorin [[havah]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}▼

They appear to be composed mostly of vines, and their faces look as though they are composed of green string.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} Their hands, eyes, and teeth made of crystal, though their hands are still as flexible as flesh.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{file ref|Shallan's Sketchbook - Cultivationspren.jpg|text=Shallan's Sketchbook - Cultivationspren}}

A [[deadeye]] cultivationspren looks similarly to a living one, albeit dried out.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Rather than vines, their bodies look as though made of ashen brown cords thin as hair, giving the appearance of rough cloth or a cluster of brown vines.{{book ref|sa3|87}}{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|117}} They also have long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
==Abilities==▼
Out of all spren, cultivationspren are the best at manifesting souls from beads in Shadesmar. For this reason, they often work creating gardens for other spren.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Rather than plants, cultivationspren gardeners create elaborate structures out of objects such as chairs.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}▼
In the Physical Realm, cultivationspren are invisible to all but their Surgebinder, although the remnants of their vines disintegrating can be seen.{{book ref|sa4|i|5}} They can also not be heard by others as well.
=== Nahel bond ===
Cultivationspren can form [[Nahel bond]]s with humans. Through this, they can grant the [[Surgebinding]] abilities of [[Abrasion]] and [[Progression]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Like other Radiant spren, they lose their memories upon entering the [[Physical Realm]], although it seems as though the [[Ring]] has some ability to lessen this effect by careful preparation.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}▼
== History ==
Unlike other sapient spren, cultivationspren don't have their own nation or settlements in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} Rather, they live alongside other spren in cities where various types intermingle, like [[Celebrant]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} Nonetheless, they have their own government, a council known as the [[Ring]], which in the present day is responsible for choosing which of their kind should bond who.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
