So seed stage is left and right to avoid the rocks and front of the worms until you get an upgrade.
Sprout stage is left and right to avoid the birds destroying your stem and leaves if you can.
Sappling stage is up and down to grow leaves when it's sunny and roots when it isn't without letting either get to zero although you gey different plants if you get more of one or the other or a balance.
Also you choose your polenator here and every choice also changes the plant you get on a successful run.
