Definition
茁壮 (zhuó zhuàng) describes plants or young living things growing vigorously, strong and healthy — it emphasizes the process of thriving, not just the resulting state. 健壮 (jiàn zhuàng) is more about an adult's overall robustness; 强壮 (qiáng zhuàng) focuses on muscular strength. 茁壮 is often used with 成长 (grow) and rarely for objects.
