how the system works

starting health

every new plant created in nurture garden starts with a health score of 100. every relationship begins on the best foot, giving you a fresh start to nurture and grow your connections.

watering

when you interact with someone (water your plant), their health increases by 25 points, capped at 100. this fixed amount ensures consistent growth with each interaction, encouraging regular engagement with your relationships.

wilting

without regular interaction, plants gradually lose health points every day. each plant type wilts at different daily rates:

  • daisy — loses 8 points per day. reaches wilting state in about 9 days.
  • vine — loses 4 points per day. reaches wilting state in about 18 days.
  • cactus — loses 2 points per day. reaches wilting state in about 35 days.

choose your plant type based on the nature of each relationship — some connections need more frequent nurturing, while others are more forgiving.
