TheyIn the [[Physical Realm]], cultivationspren take the form of a vine that grows rapidly. This vine appeares to be speckled with smooth flecks of quartz, but it does not glow with Stormlight.

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}} However, they have only began to do so because [[Cryptic]]s and [[honorspren]] were doing this, and there are no cultivationspren alive who'd remember how such bond is supposed to work.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}
 
Like other Radiant spren, cultivationspren 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}}
