Growing your plant and participating in the Tournament is a horrible EPA grind and is by no means useful for game mechanics (unless you are pursuing a certain ambition or you are looking to ... ah ... get a head in life). That said, there is some mighty fun text when your plant is nearing maturity.

I figure you might as well grow the plant, slowly, and eventually enter the tournament and play until you win one (or a few, if you want to read the text for the different victory options).
It's not something that earns you money, of course. But it does have some unique text that you can't get any other way (all the plant cards); and it does have some unique items you can't get any other way. And those are the main appeals of Fallen London, aren't they? Cool text, and collecting stuff.
So I'd say play the cards! Don't grind them or anything, don't worry about finding the items for them if you aren't able to get them easily, but slowly work your way up to Plant Level 19 as you get the cards. And then play the tournament, and eventually get your rosette.
After all - why not?

Apologies in advance for the simplistic question. I am delivering my PhD in a few days and my brain is mush.
Are 7 Tears of the Bazaar remotely enough to keep a Noman alive? I am not making sense of the relative thread, but I know it is entirely my fault.

I agree With Lady Byron in that the different scenarios you can experience as the plant nears maturity are great, albeit macabre. Some cool rewards accompany that which are very difficult to find elsewhere.
Once it’s fully mature the cards disappear and I’ve never partaken in the tournament. No need to.
