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}}▼

In the Physical Realm, cultivationspren are invisible and unheard to all but their Surgebinder when they wish to be, although the remnants of their vines disintegrating can be seen.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}{{book ref|sa4|i|5}}
=== 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}}▼
