How to plant, care, install the app, and get unstuck in Grow-y — the real-time plant growing game.
Open a plant from My Garden. Use water and feed when the plant needs them. Species differ — herbs often need frequent water; trees need less often. Missed care lowers health visuals; it does not kill the plant.

When a plant reaches maturity, harvest it from the plant detail screen. Harvested plants appear in Collection. You can always plant another seed from the catalog.
A plant growing game lets you plant virtual seeds and care for them over time. Grow-y is a free plant growing game where growth follows real calendars — herbs take days, trees take years — instead of speeding everything up.

Browse the seed catalog for microgreens, flowers, vegetables, and trees. Fast growers finish in days; long-lived trees grow on real multi-year timelines inside the same grow simulator garden.

Open a plant in My Garden and use the care controls to water or feed. Each species has its own watering interval. Consistent care builds health and care streaks — plants do not die if you miss a day, they just look less healthy.
