==Appearance==
<!--[[File:Wyndle Portrait by Marie Seeberger.jpg|thumb|left|200px|<center><small>by {{a|Marie Seeberger}}</small></center>]] to be added later-->▼
In 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. They can form the appearance of face by curling vines around one another. After a time, the vine trail they leave behind solidifies, becoming like crystal before crumbling into dust.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
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 has long nails.{{book ref|sa3|117}}

While the origins of the cultivationspren are unknown, it's possible that they were created by either [[Nightwatcher]] or [[Cultivation]] herself.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} Back in the [[Heraldic Epochs]], cultivationspren began forming [[Nahel Bond]]s with humans, creating the [[Order of Edgedancers]]. When the [[Recreance]] came, they were decimated, with anyone who would know how the Bond works turned [[deadeye]]. Over the millenia, their society recovered somewhat, albeit they never created grand cities or a nation.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}
Shortly before the [[True Desolation]], they saw the [[honorspren]] and the [[Cryptic]]s begin to bond humans again, and decided that they must keep up. The [[Ring]], their ruling body, sent [[Wyndle]] to bond with [[Lift]], and possibly some other spren as well.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}}{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
When travelling through [[Shadesmar]], [[Kaladin]]'s and [[Shallan]]'s group encountered a cultivationspren working as a dock registrar in [[Celebrant]]. He was the one to explain the [[Voidbringer]] presence in the city to them, and later hid them from the [[Fused]] so that they could escape.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
== Culture ==
Unlike other sapient spren, they do not have cities in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} They are ruled by a council known as the [[Ring]]{{book ref|sa2.5|1}} and call the [[Nightwatcher]] "mother".{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
The cultivationspren [[Shallan]] and [[Adolin]] interact with in [[Celebrant]] was quite pleased to learn that the honor of men and the [[Knights Radiant]] have returned. He helped stall the [[Fused]] looking for them so they could escape.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
==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}}
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,
