A plant starts at 100% health. For every work it gains, it loses health when the Mineral in its water is outside its range: 1% below the range, 0.5% above it.
For every work it also loses health to Heavy Metal, Chemical Contaminant, Microbes, Organic Waste, Acid and Base in the water, by each one's share and the plant's sensitivity.
Health lost per contaminant
- 0.00% to 0.10%
- 0% health per work
- 0.11% to 0.15%
- 0.15% health per work
- 0.16% to 0.20%
- 0.2% health per work
- 0.21% to 0.25%
- 0.3% health per work
- 0.26% to 0.30%

- 0.6% health per work

- 0.8% health per work
- 0.61% to 1.00%
- 1.6% health per work
- 1.01% to 2.00%
- 3.2% health per work
- Over 2.00%
- 6.4% health per work
Contaminant sensitivity multiplies these losses. Fillerweed and Hydroreed are immune.
Health at harvest splits the count into sizes. Nutrifruit is the only plant with a Huge size.

Nutrifruit, Fillerweed and BloomBerry never lose count.
The plant drinks its water use from the container once per night. The machine needs at least that much liquid to work that night.
Mineral also lowers the water's purity. A plant shows its ripe sprite from 80% of its required work.
