What are the consequences of watering my plant?
In Max's dorm room, there's a plant by the window that the player can choose to water. When the player does this, the butterfly icon appears and the game says "This action will have consequences..."
What sort of consequences? I ask because other than
being a postgame statistic
it's never revisited for the rest of the first episode, not even so much as a mention in conversations or even Max's internal monologue. Most other actions (with a couple more exceptions) have some influence later in the game, even if they don't end up dramatically altering the course of the storyline (I won't say which ones).
Or is that the consequence the game is referring to (in which case it makes it seem kind of one-dimensional, gameplay-wise)? Will it become a plot point only in a future episode?
Update: in the second episode, you begin by waking up in Max's dorm room, and one of the first things you can do here is — wait for it — water the plant again, and with no other immediate effect than "This action will have consequences...", again.
Something tells me we're going to get the option to water it once per episode, as each episode takes place over the course of one day, and we're going to see the outcome only on the last day.

If you water it twice, it will be drowned and will become brown/unhealthy by Episode 3.

What are the consequences of watering the plant in Life is strange?
In Dontnod Entertainment's third game Vampyr, there's a seemingly dead plant (located in the protagonist's office) that, if watered, will bloom after three days. The protagonist then decides to name it Lisa. This action unlocks the achievement "Unlife is strange" with the description "Save this poor plant with water".What will happen if you water your plants?
When a plant is properly hydrated, there is enough water pressure to make the leaves strong and sturdy; when a plant doesn't get enough water, the pressure inside the stems and leaves drops and they wilt. Plants also need water for photosynthesis.Should I water my plants daily?
Plants don't need daily watering. Instead, water deeply but less frequently. Deep waterings allow the water to seep beneath the roots, which encourages the roots to grow downward.How do you know if you are over watering your plants?

Answer 2
It's a 5 part game so be patient with it. My guess is a lot of the choices you make in the first episode will have some effect in the future. There are a lot of choices you make that will trigger the butterfly icon that didn't have any effect. For example :
signing/not the petition from your teacher, making fun/comfort Victoria, rearrange/not the pics in Victoria's room, helping the bird from hitting the window, reading/not the files in the garage.
Looks like everything in the post game statistics will have a future impact of the game. Hopefully at the fifth episode you don't need to choose 3 colors :P
Answer 3
I not only didn't water the plant in episode 1, I didn't even notice there was a plant to water... which is strange as I was usually pretty good at noticing these things.
Having said that, the plant was never mentioned in the rest of episode 1, so presumably this will show up in episode 2 or later... much like
how you treat Victoria.
