A bit of the plant growth formula has leaked out of its container. The plant growth formula is a concoction that was created by the Shaman Logray located on the forest moon of Endor not long before the Battle of Endor occurred. This potion, recognizable by its blue color, possessed the incredible power to cause plants to flourish at a vastly increased speed, enlarging them and making them much stronger. It is believed that the original intention behind this formula was to enhance the growth of edible plants grown by the Ewoks residing in Bright Tree Village. Nevertheless, the formula is most famous for causing the stranglethorn crisis, which happened when an early version of the plant growth formula was unintentionally dropped on a flesh-eating stranglethorn by the Ewok Princess Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka.
The plant growth formula's effects could be nullified using an opposing mixture created from Keet nectar, ganga root, and Trome sap. Logray kept a vial of this counter-potion within his dwelling, just in case the formula was used improperly. However, during the incident with the stranglethorn, Logray's dwelling became inaccessible due to the massive plant, so Wicket Wystri Warrick and Kneesaa had to find another method of obtaining the ingredients needed for the antidote.
