Can't give exact details on how long it took to grow, I think it was about 4-5 days per cycle.
When I got the plant I maintained the Normal/Normal settings and growth stayed Below Normal and eventually reaching "Perfect" condition.
It shifted to medium size, where I ended up settling for Below Normal/Above Normal which kept it at Slow and at times Very Slow growth rate, condition stayed at Perfect.
It is now large, condition is "Full of Life" and growth rate is "Wilting". Attempting to stablize now.
I stuck it at Below Normal/Above Normal like it was in the medium size and I'll tweak from there.
Using Talusian water with about a 250 DR and around 990 OQ. The flora I have changed around a few times, sticking with DR under 200 and both PE and OQ over 900 at all times.
Currently at large, it seems to consume a LOT of resources (I set it at Normal/Normal at first, came back like 4 hours later it was at Dry/Low.).
Plant is on the Scylla server.

Here is my log for the last days.
(Day x)
Vibrant and C. / Very Slow
>>> Moist+ / Above Norm+
(Day x+1)
Full of Life / Very Slow (Lost 1 tick of Water and Nutri)
>>> Moist+ / Above Norm+
(Day x+2)
Full of Life / Very Slow
>>> Moist+ / Above Norm+
(Day x+3)
Full of Life / None (Lost 1 tick of Water and Nutri)
>>> Normal+ / Above Norm+
(Day x+4)
Full of Life / Very Slow
>>> Normal+ / Above Norm+
Full of Life / None
>>> Moist+ / Above Norm+
(Day x+5)
Full of Life / None
>>> Moist+ / High+
Full of Life / Very Slow
>>> Moist+ / High+
(1 hour later)
Full of Life / Wilting (Lost 1 tick of Water and Nutri)
The requirements for my plant seems to change a lot. I got it 3 days after the pub10 release and its still a small one.
As for now, my goal is to reach Perfect Condition...

I had no problems until I hit Large plant size ... using normal levels of nutrients & water worked fine getting it from small to medium to large, but once it hit large it immediately was wilting, & despite all the adjustmentsI tried it kept on wilting & is now near death.
However, it's not died ,,, despite being at "near death" for a few days now. Water is Dry, Nutrients Low, & now it is on Very Slow Growth.
I'm inclining to think, as others have said, that growth rate is not actually a progress mark to an increase in size, but a marker toward an increase in health. If my "Very Slow Growth" results in my plant getting better ... moving away from "Near Death", then that theory is proven.
Iam.

How about time spent online? Anyone got any observations on how your plant does based on how much time you spend in game?
One of my issue I believe is that my plant sits in my shops which is one of the most visited on the server. I do not think it is helping

I will read the last 5 pages that I haven't had time for this weekend.
But just wanted to ask a quick question (which may be answered in one of the posts in the last 5 pages).
My plant is now about 3 days shy of 3 weeks old. Health started at "good", went up to "very good" in about 3 days, then "excellent" at about the 4th day, then to vibrant and colorful in a couple more days, then in about 3 more days up to "perfect" which it's been ever since. So basically it's been in perfect condition for over a week. The growth has ALWAYS been very slow with short bouts of "none" for growth rate. I have dumped in water and nutrients to high, or water to low, nuts to high, vice versa whenever my plant was at "none" for growth. Meaning I just tweaked stuff a great deal to get it back to some growth (always goes back to "very slow"). However, it's never had a growth rate higher than very slow no matter how low or how high I set the water/nuts.
The problem is the plant is STILL a baby after 3 weeks! I know people that have plants that grew to 2nd stage after 4-6 days with health nowhere near perfect or even vibrant.
I'm about to give up on this thing
Has anyone else had a plant this long in perfect condition that refused to grow to the next stage?

Hi there,
i am Til-Imat (TIBEA/249 -5495 Coronet/Farstar)
since Phase 1 i bought 3 plants...
and i found out all 3 plants love to be water : normal... nutirents : low .... growth rate : is slow =( but it works usualy
now my first bought plant has become a Large One (3 weeks..) and still works with normal / low ...
only a few times i doesnt work .. then i changed it to water : dry... nutirents :abovenormal.... growth rate : is very slow
but changed it back the next day to normal/low... and it worked again =)
if anyone likes to visit my plants...feel free to do that....dont forget to pray next to it or donate some money for nutrients and water =)

"I'm inclining to think, as others have said, that growth rate is not actually a progress mark to an increase in size, but a marker toward an increase in health."
This could very well be.
Getting tired of my plant being at perfect health but very slow growth and almosto 3 weeks old and still a baby, I figured since it's at the top health I had room to mess around with the settings.
Normally water was below normal or dry, nutrients at normal or above normal and was always very slow growth.
Logged on after I made this post and set the water to above normal (it was dry) and nutrients to very high (it was normal).
Just checked the plant and it changed in front of my eyes to "full of life" health and "wilting" growth. Meaning it dropped one health level and went from "growth rate - 2" to "growth Loss - 1" according to the chart posted on page 2.
This could very well be.

Ok, after two days my plant seemed to be doing well until its health went from Good to Wilted to Severely wilted
It's growth rate has been wilting for some time, I think I overwatered it and since removing all water its health has deteriorated.
I've added a little water to bring it up to very dry, and removed nuetrients to low.

I must've been lucky, I had no problems with my plant whatsoever. I've had it for less than a week, and it is already fruiting.It has never been anything but Full of life, Vibrant and colorful, or Perfect Condition. Growth rate has for the most partbeen slow or below normal, but that didn't bother me.
Almost the whole time, nutrients and water were at normal. I would experiment playing with ONLY water or ONLY nutrients. For example, I would change Nutrients to below normal, but leave water at normal. Then, I'd check back a few hours later...if the growth rate was "wilting," i'd simply change it in the opposite direction...add nutrients until it was above normal, for example. This would change my growth rate to below normal, etc.
I'd do the same thing with water at a different time. The thing with changing both things at the same time is that you don't know which is what is positively or negatively affecting your plants health or growth rate. As I said, my plant seemed to like normal or slightly below normal for both all the way from a small plant to a now fruiting plant. I know everyone's plant seems to be different, but I would suggest being patient, changing one thing at a time, and then adjusting it accordingly the next time the condition updates.
By the way, does anyone know how many fruits I can leave on the plant before I have to pick them? I'm hurting for inventory space, so don't want a ton of fruit cluttering up my backpack. Good luck everyone!
EDIT: Not sure if resource quality matters, but the whole time, I've been using Hictes Tatooinian Water Vapor (154 DR, 931 OQ) and Taetona Lokian Berry Fruit (684 DR, 597 FL, 979 PE, 988 OQ)
