Seeds i plant always grow to the full size plant in a day.
And require flesh for sustenance
And they continue to grow at the same pace.
what about fruit? perfectly ripe for lunch the next day?
Lets say, they grow to full ripe size every day
Yeah...uh.... I'd get fat in a hurry.
Same. Maybe the fast growth makes them taste like bamboo?
They grow immediately, which leads to you getting either stuck inside a tree with wood in your lungs or getting impaled by a plant.
In doing so you also grant the plant sentience with a mind that develops at the same pace as its physical maturity.
These plants are fully aware that
A. They have been robbed of a full life, B. They exist solely for the harvest C. They are the only ones of their kind and are alone in the vast uncaring universe beyond the prison you call a “window sill”.
They also see you planting other seeds and understand that makes you their parent. It’s a lot to process.
