How Often Do I Need To check My Crops?

There's nothing more frustrating than planting my crops, checking them again before I log for the night and then getting up the next morning and finding that some didn't grow because they somehow became smothered overnight.

After you plant a plant, stand there a few seconds and then mouse over the planet, and it will tell you what is wrong with it:

Infested: Use the Bug Sprayer
Parched: Use the Watering Can
Smothered: Pull the weed out
Tangled: Grab the vine and walk backwards
Wild: Right click it and jump on it to get rid of the tentacle
Wiggling: Right Click it and kill the virmen.
Alluring: Right click it and kill the hawk.
Runty: Right click it and jump.

Hirai summed them up for you here but you can always talk to Farmer Yoon on the ranch as well. He'll explain how to care for each crop type in case you forget.
