After the cantrip is utilized, it cannot be applied to the same patch of soil or influence those plants again. It possesses no influence over plants that have already begun to sprout. However, it can potentially expand the area of soil that a gardener might cultivate.

The cantrip offers only minimal labor savings in the cultivation of plants, as it primarily accelerates the gestation period that plants would typically undergo on their own. In many respects, a "weed" cantrip that aids in managing unwanted plant growth could prove to be more practical. Note that natural occurrences, such as late-season freezes, still affect plants as they should, regardless of the enchantment employed.

It does mean, however, that planting can be done later in the season, well after such freezes might occur, or in parts of the world with very brief growing seasons.
