You start with a small garden and grow it into a larger, productive plot. Plant crops, bushes, and trees, and add animals to produce goods that earn coins.
Use your earnings to expand the garden and unlock more plants, trees, bushes, and animals as you level up. You can click to plant and harvest yourself, or invest in helpers that collect produce automatically.
Helpers continue working while you are away, so you can return to coins and harvests to reinvest. Garden pests may appear; deal with them yourself or buy a guard dog to help protect the garden.
Players often enjoy Plantera as a cute, low-pressure garden idle game: planting, unlocking new things, and watching helpers build up the garden makes for an easygoing background activity. Some find the simple loop relaxing and satisfying, while others say it becomes repetitive or grind-heavy after much of the content is unlocked.

In Plantera you build your own garden and watch it grow with new plants, bushes, trees and animals.
As you play and expand your garden you will attract helpers, round blue creatures that will help you pick up things and harvest your plants.

If you want you can pluck trees and harvest plants yourself, or let your helpers do the work for you while you watch or build and invest in new plants. The helpers will even continue to work while you are not playing the game, and some new gold should always be waiting for you on your return.
It's good to keep your eyes open though, as sometimes mean critters may invade your garden. Hunt them out yourself or invest in a guard dog to keep the order.
Go up in level to unlock new plants, bushes, trees and animals and continue to expand and improve your garden.
