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
