Can a plant go 1 day without water?

[Nadodan]

I ended Spring by handing over my Watering Can to be upgraded, but I didn't know it would take 2 days. I've been growing the Ancient Seed for a while and I want to know if it will live without being watered 1 day. I'm at level 20 in the mines so I can't get any iron ore to make a Sprinkler.

Yes it can, not watering a plant just delays it's growth by however many days it goes dry.

Actually, I think if it goes 2 days without water it will die, but 1 will be fine.

Alright thank you :), I kind of worried and the game is still relatively newish so Google didn't turn up any results

You should wait until the TV says the next day will rain before handing it in :)

This ...
if you water the plants and afterwards trurn the watercan in, you won´t have any day without watering (next day they will watered by the rain and the day after that you already can get back your watercan)

Haven't tested every single crop available, maybe some of the special seeds are different, but certainly not true for flowers and common seasonal things I plant. Only die from season-ends, not from non-watering.

And once full grown, crops need no daily water anymore and you can leave them "unpicked" all season. Hence, flower-honey.

you can have iron, you just need copper bars

Also check the calendar, because if there is an event the day after the rain you won't be able to pick up the tool because the shops are closed for the event.
