correct adverb

Sally waters the plants every day because she wants to see them grow up well.

I would like to confirm whether 'well' is the correct adverb? Any suggestion to improve the sentence or is it fine?

"Well" is fine, but you don't need "up", i.e. "... she wants to see them grow well."

what is the difference between grow and grow up .I referred to a dict finding grow up means to become a adult ,and grow , it is full of page.
so we can say someone grows/is growing/has grown up,is that right?

"Grow up" isn't used with plants, flowers or trees... Just "grow"

Hope that helps...
