As long as they take in a real garden. Cress is ready to cut in about a week, radishes in about 25 days, cherry tomatoes start ripening around day 65, peppers around day 140, and an oak drops its first acorns after decades. Dry soil, hunger, poor light or the wrong season slow growth down. Grow-y models these from published growing data, but cannot reproduce every condition in a real garden.

Your plants keep growing, drinking and ripening. Soil dries, fruit ripens and, if nobody picks it, some is lost on the plant. Turn on reminders to hear when a plant needs water or has a picking ready. Care you do offline is applied when you reconnect; it cannot change what happened while you were away.

You can plant, care for, and harvest your garden without a subscription.

Into your Journal, which keeps every plant's story: what you picked, what was lost and its care grade. Repeat croppers stay in the garden until their season ends; single crops finish when you harvest them.

Open a plant in My Garden. It lists what it needs right now, most important first: water when the soil is dry, food when its nutrients run low, a bigger pot or the garden bed when roots fill the pot, a pick when there is a picking ready. How fast soil dries depends on the plant's size, its pot or bed, the soil mix, the season and where it grows — a seedling in a small pot in summer sun can need water daily, while an established tree lives on rain. Soil that is still wet can't take more water. Growth stops in bone-dry soil, a few days bone-dry can kill a plant, and drought damage takes about a week of moist soil to heal.

No. A plant only asks to be pruned when real growers would do it: basil gets its tips pinched, indeterminate tomatoes get side shoots removed, marigolds get deadheaded and trees get the occasional formative cut. Radishes and carrots are never pruned because their leaves feed the root.

Both live in the same garden. Quick crops (cress, radish) are ready in days or weeks. Seasonal plants such as tomatoes and peppers take months and crop for a season. Trees grow for years and, once mature, give seeds each autumn while they keep growing. There is no time skip for either path.

It depends on the plant. Tomatoes, peppers, basil, lettuce and marigolds ripen a little at a time: pick what is ready and more follows until the season ends, then pull the plant to free the plot. Leave ripe produce too long and some is lost — tomatoes split, leaves toughen, flowers fade. Cress, radishes, carrots and sunflowers are harvested once, and are best within a few days of being ready. Mature trees give seeds each autumn.

Grow-y uses real growing timelines. Cress is ready in about a week; an oak takes decades to give acorns. There is no time skip — that is the point.

Yes. Grow-y is a progressive web app (PWA). On your phone browser, use Add to Home Screen / Install. Your garden syncs with the same account you use on desktop.

Check your connection, pull to refresh, or sign out and sign back in. If you installed the PWA, force-close it and reopen. Still stuck? Email contact@growy.xyz with your device and what you see.
