Why This Happens
- Hydration visual: Freshly watered plants use a “hydrated" model so you can quickly see coverage.
- True stage resync: When the hydration bonus ends, the model returns to the real growth stage.
- Online correction: Multiplayer can resync size after the server confirms growth data.
Keep Crops Healthy
- Run sprinklers on a schedule to keep hydration high.
- Check the plant info panel for the actual growth stage.
- In multiplayer, wait for server sync before re‑watering.
