What does one clip cost?

It depends on the model and the length, and the exact figure sits on the button before you press it. The cheapest ten second clip runs about $1.81 and the longest fifteen second one about $8.51. An optional opening frame adds about ten cents.

Do I need an account?

Not to build the prompt. Choosing a plant, a pot, a model and a length, and reading the finished prompt, all work signed out and cost nothing. You sign in only at the point of generating.

Can I grow a plant that is not in the list?

Yes. Type your own takes any plant you name and asks only how it grows, so the stages match: a root crop's harvest stays under the soil, a herb never gets a bloom it would not have, a climber gets something to climb.

What does the glass pot do?

It puts the root system on camera. Roots branching through dark soil are the most interesting thing in this format and an opaque pot hides them. It is also the newest option here, so it may take a couple of tries.

Does the camera move?

Never. A locked-off camera is what makes a time-lapse read as time passing rather than as a plant inflating, so the prompt states it several times and the settings deck has no camera variation at all.

Why only ten or fifteen seconds?

That is where this format works, and every extra second costs money and gives the model another chance to drift. For longer clips the full video composer exposes everything the model allows.

Plant time-lapse

A seed becomes a bloom, in a pot that never moves

Bare soil cracks, a shoot rises, leaves unfurl, and the last seconds hold the flower or the harvest. Pick a plant below and the whole prompt is written for you, free, before you spend anything. One click generates one finished vertical clip with sound.

Every one is a single clip. No stitching, no keyframes, nothing edited afterwards.

Chilli pepper in glass, roots and all, 10s

Strawberry, flowers to fruit, 15s

Sunflower, seed to one open head, 10s

1Pick the plant

Ends on one large golden head opening on a single stem.

2Pot

A glass pot puts the root system on camera, which is the most interesting thing in this format. It is also the least tested, so expect to re-roll it more often than the others.

3Model and length

Vertical 9:16, sound on, camera locked off.

4Opening frame (optional)

Generate the bare pot and start the clip from it, so the pot is exactly the one you chose.

5The prompt

Vertical 9:16, ultra realistic macro time-lapse, 15 seconds. Locked-off camera on a tripod: it never moves, never zooms, never pans, never tilts and never changes angle for the entire shot. An elegant medium terracotta pot with a softly rounded rim and a warm weathered clay surface, filled with rich dark fertile soil level with the rim sits centred in frame on a pale oak table, against a soft out-of-focus grey wall, lit by soft even studio light from a large overhead softbox. The pot, the soil line, the surface, the backdrop and the light stay in exactly the same position for the entire shot. Nothing enters the frame. There are no hands.

The plant is a Sunflower: broad heart-shaped leaves with rough texture, one thick hairy stem, and a single terminal head with golden-yellow ray petals around a dark seed disc. Every leaf, flower and fruit matches that species exactly.

0.0 to 1.8s: bare dark soil, faintly textured, a few grains lifting as the surface begins to crack at the exact centre. Nothing has broken the surface yet.

1.8 to 3.3s: a pale shoot tip pushes through, still hooked over where it lifted the soil. No leaves have opened yet.

3.3 to 4.8s: the shoot straightens and its two seed leaves open outward. No true leaves, buds or flowers are present yet.

4.8 to 6.3s: the first true leaf unrolls above the seed leaves. No second true leaf, no buds and no flowers are present yet.

6.3 to 7.8s: a second and third pair of true leaves unfurl and the stem thickens and darkens. No buds or flowers are present yet.

7.8 to 9.3s: the stem elongates, carrying six fully open leaves, the plant leaning very slightly toward the light. No buds or flowers are present yet.

9.3 to 10.8s: a tight green bud forms at the top of the stem. No petals are showing yet.

10.8 to 12.3s: the bud swells and its sepals separate, colour showing between them. The flower has not opened yet.

12.3 to 15.0s: the petals spread into one fully formed flower, settling into stillness. No second flower and no seed head form.

Consistency: it is the same Sunflower from the first frame to the last, one continuous organism growing, never replaced, never duplicated and never becoming a different species. The pot keeps the same shape, colour and position. The soil line does not rise or fall. The surface, the backdrop and the light stay identical. Leaves that open stay open and keep their shape. Growth is smooth and continuous through every real intermediate form: a leaf unfurls by unrolling from a coil, a bud opens by its sepals separating and its petals spreading, a fruit ripens by colour sweeping gradually across it through every intermediate shade rather than switching. The final second holds the single bloom opening fully completely still.

Style: ultra realistic botanical macro time-lapse, photographic and unstylised, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the plant, visible leaf veins and soil texture. Quiet natural ambience: soft soil movement and organic unfurling. No music, no narration, no voices.

Avoid: camera movement, zooming, panning, tilting, orbiting, focus breathing or shake; the pot moving or changing shape; the soil line rising or falling; the background or lighting changing; day-to-night cycling or racing shadows; the plant becoming a different species; extra plants or extra pots appearing; leaves or roots disappearing; jump cuts, morphing, popping, crossfades, sparkles or magical particles; wilting; hands, people, tools or insects; text overlays, captions, watermarks.

Keep the same setting across clips (for a series that should look like one channel)
