Viva Piñata is a garden simulation game where you can customize your garden to your will. You can purchase items from people such as Lottie using chocolate coins. If you're low on coins, make some money following one or more of these methods.

Steps

Growing Chili Seeds

Buy as many chili seeds you can. Place them as close to each other as possible.

Plant some fertilizer on them. The correct kind of fertilizer, the red fertilizer, sells for 18 coins.

Sell them after they grow. If you do this for a couple hours you can get 50k chocolate coins. This will give a tasty profit for this. Enjoy being rich.

Attracting Whirlms

Get two Whirlms in your garden. They often visit the garden and automatically turn into residents after they visit.

Romance them. Order Willy Builder to build a Whirlm House so you can romance them by selecting one of them then selecting another Whirlm with your cursor. Then, complete the Romance minigame and collect the coins or hearts that litter the path.

Sell the new Whirlms after they grow up. To sell a Whirlm move your cursor over it then press the B button to go into the Sell menu.

Breeding Horstachio

Get two Horstachios. Breed them by making them romance, then sell the newborn Horstachios after they grow up. This will make lots of money. However, the Horstachio romance challenge is very challenging, so some practice is required. In Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, if you have six or more Horstachios in your garden and you're breeding another one, if you are able to complete the challenge and collect ALL the hearts in the level without getting hit by a Loather bomb, then you may be rewarded with a "Wildcard" piñata or twin Wildcard piñatas. Wildcard piñatas are 10 times as valuable and allows you to sell it for lots of chocolate coins. However this is very challenging so if it is too hard for you, then sell off all but two of the Horstachios to reset the challenge to have five lives.

Use Cluckles to instantly hatch the eggs. These eggs otherwise take a long time to hatch.

Adding a Wishing Well

Buy a wishing well. Place it in a new garden.

Buy a Lantern O' Loot and place it next to the well.

Throw 9999 coins into the well. Watch what happens when you collect one coin.

Sell anything that comes out of the well.

Planting Venus Piñata Trap/Poison Ivy

Plant at least 2 Venus Piñata Trap seeds or poison ivy seeds.

Wait for them to grow. They take about a minute to grow.

Watch as they will drop seeds and flower heads. You can wait for it to die automatically or slam them with the shovel to make them drop the items immediately.
