Super chill little game to have running in the background while you work or play. Collecting and discovering new plants is weirdly satisfying, and I like that it never feels needy or demanding. Cute, relaxing, and honestly kinda hard not to check on every now and then lol.

it is certainly a calming experience, especially while im doing work and a new plant is caught in the corner of my eye tells how time has moved so quickly and i didn't realize. there isnt much work since youre essentially raising a plant by putting a seed, watering and loving it, and waiting, but seeing each time increased number of pots and flowers that came to life in them is certainly rewarding. digital balcony.

Latest updates

Seeds, a Nursery, and New Achievements

10 days ago
You can now collect seeds, save them for later, and choose what to grow next. This update also adds a Seed Nursery, collection filters, and eight new achievements. Seed Inventory Harvesting now has a chance to give you a seed. The chance starts at 15% and increases at Garden Levels 4, 12, 35, 67, and 81, reaching 40%. A dropped seed usually belongs to the harvested plant, but can also belong to another species from the same habitat. Stored seeds grow into their specific species. Once you've harvested that species before, its seed displays the plant's name. Undiscovered seeds show their rarity and habitat instead. Inspect a seed, plant it in your current empty Growing Pot, or sell it for XP. Seed Nursery The Nursery produces one seed at a time. A cycle takes 24 hours at Garden Level 1. Each additional level reduces that time by 10 minutes. A ready seed waits until you collect it; the next cycle starts after collection. Finding and Planting Seeds “Plant Something” now opens a full window with mystery seeds, available DLC seed collections, and your stored seeds. Added name search, rarity, habitat, and collection filters to the planting window, Seed Inventory, and Herbarium. Added sorting by newest, name, and highest rarity. New Achievements and the Daykeeper Bucket Added seven seed-related achievements. Added “A Day Together” for keeping Daily Botanica open for one continuous 24-hour session. Completing it unlocks the Daykeeper Bucket: 35% care per watering, with watering ready one hour sooner. Fixes and Improvements Improved Russian text readability and corrected layout issues. Fixed text appearing too small on first opening or changing size after switching tabs. Fixed clipping in the garden time-protection message. Thanks for playing!

The Living Collection Update

16 days ago
The Living Collection DLC is now available, adding 40 real-world plants, four new pots, and the Long-Reach Galvanized Can. Living Collection plants also come with two new care mechanics: • Work With Me - From 07:00 to 19:00, visible Living Collection plants slowly gain care while you’re active at your PC. • Sing Me to Sleep - From 19:00 to 07:00, you can sing or hum to a plant through your microphone. It reacts to your voice and gradually gains care while it hears you. The base game also received a few additions and fixes: • Added three new plants to the base collection, bringing the total to 140 • Added Quick Pot Switch • Added Hide/Show All Plants • Improved translations across all supported languages • Fixed several text overflow and panel layout issues • The First Week event has ended; players who earned its clay pot will keep it I check the Steam Discussions every day, so if you run into a bug or have an idea for improving the game, feel free to post it there.
