Cannot convert method group to system type

Unity Engine
1

I have a method called Grow that is for plants.

public void Grow() {
		size = transform.localScale;
		size.y = transform.localScale.y + 1f;
		transform.localScale = size;
		growCount++;
		health++;
		growSpot = transform.position;
		growSpot.y = transform.position.y + 0.5f;
		transform.position = growSpot;
	}

I am trying to call it in void start and give it this if statement.

void Start () {
		GetComponent(Grow);
		if (growCount < 5) {
			growCount++;
		} else {
			if (growCount == 5) {
				growCount = 0;
			}
		}
	}

But I can’t get it to work properly. I was getting a ton of errors but now it is down to these 2.

The best overloaded method match for UnityEngine.Component.GetComponent(System.Type)' has some invalid arguments. Argument #1’ cannot convert method group' expression to type System.Type’
edit: Those errors are both on the GetComponent(Grow); line.

I don’t know if I am just too tired to see the solution. But no matter what I do I can’t fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated by me and my stress levels.

A method is a method and a Component is a Component. You don’t call a method with GetComponent. Change

GetComponent(Grow);

to

Grow();

That’s how you call methods.
