The Plant ItselfĪs you can probably guess, different plants have different properties that affect how they grow. We'll go through the four factors that determine how a plant grows. There's a decent amount of math going on behind the scenes regarding how much each of these factors affect growth rates, but for now just worry about understanding the basics. Conversely, allowing the growth rate to fall too low will result in the plant growing too slowly and dying of age before it can even be harvested for food. Under ideal conditions, however, the growth rate can actually be raised even beyond 100%, allowing the plant to grow and produce resources much faster than it normally would under basic conditions. Your goal should be to get the growth rate up to at least 100% (standard growth), but you'll usually be fine if you can get it above 85%. The latter three things affect a plant's growth rate - a percentage amount that you can see in each plant's info box.
