About this game

Nurture a small pot of succulents that grow in real time.

Viridi is a safe haven, a place you can return to for a moment of peace and quiet whenever, and wherever you need it.

While not fully realistic (they're very forgiving), your succulents will require some maintenance and can die from over- or under-watering. Name your favorite plants, give them special care and attention, and they might even flower for you.

Viridi is free to try and comes with your choice of plant assortment. If you think it has a place in your life, you can buy your favorite plants from the in-game nursery for just a few cents a piece. Remember to visit the nursery occasionally for your weekly free seeding!

Ratings and reviews

Prasinus starter plants have an issue where the large middle plant floats above the pot once planted and there does not seem to be a way to fix this, other than to uninstall and reinstall the game and choose a different plant. Aspect ratio also seems off and text goes off the side of the screen (such as on the "name your pot" screen). I used to play on a different device and these issues were not present. Otherwise, this game is very cute. I've been playing on and off for years.

I have really enjoyed this game over the past few months. It doesn't require much attention and moves pretty slowly, which makes it perfect to be something you check one once a day or every other day. It's nice to see all your little plants grow up and your pot fill up. I did knock off one star because it is very difficult to move plants around if you have a lot of them. I'm afraid that I might be getting to the point where I'll have to choose one plant to get rid of for every one I add.

Overall the game is nice. It's real-time and calm. I don't feel stressed to tap anything chaotically and I don't need to do much. However I've noticed that after my succulents bud they suddenly revert back to how they were when they were first planted. They all do it. It's not even gradual. I'll go to bed and wake up, check on my plants and they're just back to early stages after being fully grown. I looked for fixes online and it seems to be an ongoing issue. It's been going on for 2 weeks now.
