Greenhouse Tycoon

Greenhouse Tycoon puts you in charge of a small nursery where you grow, cross-breed, and sell plants at a weekend market. The loop is gentle: plant, water, wait, harvest, repeat, with new species to unlock along the way.

What kept me coming back was the breeding system. Combining traits to chase a rare bloom scratches the same itch as a good collection game, and the interface is clean enough to manage on a small screen.

It leans on real-time waiting, but nothing pushes you to rush. It's a sim to check in on with your morning coffee rather than one to binge, and it's lovely at that pace.

What we liked

• Satisfying plant breeding
• Clean, calm interface
• No pressure to rush
