* Stages: **seed → seedling → stages 2–5**.
* Species appears at stage ≥2, rarity at ≥3, color at ≥4, “seed-bearing” at 5 (you can **harvest** then).
* Miss watering too long and the plant dies. Typical rhythm:
* **Thirsty after \~18h**, **dead after \~72h** without water.

## Watering
* In the game: choose **Water**.
* On IRC (community bot): in a channel the bot is in (or via DM), use:
* `!water <user>` — record a visit/watering for `~<user>`.
* `!plant <user>` — show the current status summary.
* The bot is rate-limited to prevent spam and will **tell you if a plant appears dead** (watering won’t revive it).
* Privacy: if a user has opted out (see below), the bot **pretends their plant doesn’t exist**.
## Seeing your plant on the web
* URL: `https://tilde.club/~username/myplant`
* Shows status, last watered, and the current ASCII art (including fun holiday art on Oct 31).
