Plants are round, their colours ranging from yellow to varying shades of orange. They range in size from microscopic when newly germinated to a maximum width of 15 – 20 pixels for mature specimens.

Plants have a tendency to form loose colonies. They have some powers of movement which enable them to move towards other plants if they are isolated.

Plant colonies are common throughout the upper two-thirds of the environment.

Plants absorb spare energy directly from the environment. As long as there is energy available they will carry on adding to their stores, but if there is no available energy they will rapidly lose what reserves they have accumulated.

Young plants almost always germinate next to their parent, so increasing the size of colonies. Occasionally (approx 2.5 out of every 100 seeds) a plant will establish itself at some distance from its parent, enabling a new colony to form.

Plants can begin reproducing from the age of six seconds, asexually seeding new plants up to every three seconds, depending on their energy reserves.

Plants are eaten by herbivores or omnivores of whom they have no apparent awareness. Other causes of death are old age and lack of light. They can live up to 20 – 25 seconds.
