A real-time plant growing game
Grow-y is a free plant growing game and plant simulator where plants grow in real time. Most gardening simulators compress years into minutes. This grow simulator does not.
Plant virtual seeds, water and feed them, and watch growth stages unfold on the same calendar as outdoor plants — from 10-day microgreens to trees that take decades.
Featured Plants
From quick microgreens to long-lived trees, each plant grows on its real biological schedule. Browse the full seed catalog to see every species in this plant simulator.

How this plant simulator works
Choose Your Seeds
Pick from microgreens that finish in days to trees that take years in this plant growing game.
Real-Time Growth
Track growth stages as they happen. No time skip. No shortcuts.
Patience Rewarded
A tree that takes 10 years outside takes 10 years here.
Plant Care System
Water, feed, and place each plant where it gets the light it needs. Needs vary by species — the same idea as a real garden, inside a free grow simulator.
Daily Watering
Water your plants regularly to keep them healthy. Each species has different needs:
- • Microgreens & Herbs: Need daily watering
- • Vegetables & Flowers: Water every 2-7 days
- • Trees: Weekly to monthly watering
Health & Care Streaks
Maintain consistent care to build health scores and care streaks:
- • Health Levels: Poor → Average → Good → Perfect
- • Visual Feedback: Plants look different based on health
- • Care Streaks: Track consecutive days of good care
- • No Pressure: Plants don't die, just look less healthy
