How to play Plantoria
To play Plantoria, fill a pot with soil, plant a seed, give the plant water at every growth stage, harvest the flower when it is mature and sell it for coins. Then cross-pollinate your plants to breed hybrids and fill your Codex.
- Plantoria runs in your browser: no download, you start as a guest in one tap.
- Every plant goes through 5 stages and needs 1, 2, 3, 2 and 1 drops of water (9 in total).
- The growth timer of a stage only starts once that stage has all its water.
- Boost halves the time left on the current stage. Your first Instant Grow is free.
- One flower costs about 3 energy: planting, the first water of the Growing stage and the harvest.
How to play Plantoria: your first flower in 30 seconds
1. Start a garden in your browser
Open plantoria.net/play on a phone or computer and tap Play. You get a guest garden right away with 500 coins, 20 diamonds, a starter pack of seeds and a two-part tutorial (about 2 minutes): first you grow and sell a flower, then you breed your first hybrid.

2. Fill a pot with soil
Tap an empty pot and pick a soil. One bag of soil lasts for 3 harvests, then the pot needs new soil.
| Soil | Cost | Growth speed | Survives drought |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 5 coins | normal | normal |
| Rich | 15 coins | +25% | +15% longer |
| Premium | 35 coins | +50% | +30% longer |
3. Plant a seed
Tap the pot again and choose a seed. Planting costs 1 energy. Some species grow much faster than others; these are the base timers to reach the Mature stage (water waits not included):
| Species | Basic soil | Premium soil |
|---|---|---|
| Bamboo | 1:06 | 0:44 |
| Poppy | 1:26 | 0:57 |
| Daisy | 2:16 | 1:31 |
| Jasmine | 2:22 | 1:35 |
| Iris | 2:40 | 1:47 |
| Lily | 2:58 | 1:59 |
| Lavender | 2:58 | 1:59 |
| Tulip | 3:23 | 2:15 |
| Peony | 3:47 | 2:31 |
| Orchid | 4:10 | 2:47 |
| Rose | 4:30 | 3:00 |
| Lotus | 4:51 | 3:14 |
| Sunflower | 5:38 | 3:45 |
| Cactus | 6:46 | 4:31 |
Seasons change these times too (Spring is 20% faster, Winter 30% slower). See how to keep plants alive.
4. Water at every stage
Tap the plant to open its panel and tap Water. Each stage needs its own water before the timer starts:
| Stage | Seed | Sprout | Growing | Blooming | Mature |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drops of water | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
You hold up to 40 water and get 1 back every 20 seconds. A plant that waits too long for water wilts after 2:42 and dies after 4:03, but only while the game is open. When you close the game, nothing dries out.
5. Speed it up: Boost and Instant Grow
Boost (fertilizer) cuts the time left on the current stage in half. Instant Grow costs 3 diamonds and makes the flower bloom right away; the tutorial gives you the first one free.
6. Harvest and sell
When the plant reaches Mature, tap Harvest (1 energy). The flower card gives you three choices: Quick Sell for coins now, List for Sale on the player market, or Keep in Inventory for orders. Every species you grow for the first time is a New Discovery with bonus coins and a diamond.
Prices drop a little if you sell many copies of the same flower on one day: the first 3 sell at full price, then each one is 10% cheaper (never below 40%).
7. Energy, water and foraging
Energy is the main limit: you hold up to 30 and get 1 back every 3 minutes. One full flower costs about 3 energy, so a full bar is around 10 flowers. Forage needs no energy and can be used every 40 seconds for small rewards.
8. What to do next
Once the basic loop feels easy, the real game starts: breed hybrids by mixing pollen, fill the Codex, deliver orders to the villagers, spin the daily wheel and try the Daily Challenge hybrid on the home page.
