Use grow to allow a flex item to grow to fill any available space:

01

02

03

<div class="flex ...">  <div class="size-14 flex-none ...">01</div>  <div class="size-14 grow ...">02</div>  <div class="size-14 flex-none ...">03</div></div>

Use grow-<number> utilities like grow-3 to make flex items grow proportionally based on their growth factor, allowing them to fill the available space relative to each other:

01

02

03

<div class="flex ...">  <div class="size-14 grow-3 ...">01</div>  <div class="size-14 grow-7 ...">02</div>  <div class="size-14 grow-3 ...">03</div></div>

Use grow-0 to prevent a flex item from growing:

01

02

03

<div class="flex ...">  <div class="size-14 grow ...">01</div>  <div class="size-14 grow-0 ...">02</div>  <div class="size-14 grow ...">03</div></div>

Use the grow-[<value>] syntax to set the flex grow factor based on a completely custom value:

<div class="grow-[25vw] ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

For CSS variables, you can also use the grow-(<custom-property>) syntax:

<div class="grow-(--my-grow) ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

This is just a shorthand for grow-[var(<custom-property>)] that adds the var() function for you automatically.

Prefix a flex-grow utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<div class="grow md:grow-0 ...">  <!-- ... --></div>

Learn more about using variants in the variants documentation.
