There are a few ways to obtain the Fall mutation, including the Fall Bloom completion, cosmetics, and pets. Sadly, there are no weather events to get the mutation. So, here are the best methods to get this Grow a Garden mutation:
1. Fall Bloom Completion
The first and simplest way to get Fall mutation in Grow a Garden is through the Fall Bloom activation. To activate the Fall Bloom in Grow a Garden, head to the Fall Tree and check the white bubble to see which plant type is needed for progress. The event often asks for common types like Berry, Fruit, Flower, Leafy, Sweet, Tropical, Vegetable, Prickly, Woody, or Stalky plants.
Once you have the required plant, equip it from your inventory, interact with the Fall Tree, and choose to feed it to the Harvest Spirit. You can also use the option to submit all of the same type at once. Every submission gives points based on rarity, from 1 point for Common up to 8 points for Transcendent plants, and you will need 500 points total to trigger the Fall Bloom.
Contributions from all players in the lobby count toward progress, and even a single plant helps unlock shop items. After activation, the Fall Bloom has a 5-minute cooldown, and keep in mind that the required plant type changes every hour. Once you trigger the Fall Bloom, five random crops immediately get the Fall mutation.
2. Grizzly Bear Pet
Apart from that, the second way to get this mutation is by using the Grizzly Bear pet obtained from the new Fall eggs in the game. This pet has a 10% chance to apply the Fall mutation on any plant or fruit, once per 4 minutes.
3. Fall Fountain Cosmetic
The best way to get the Fall mutation passively is by using the Fall Fountain cosmetic. You can get it from the Fall Bloom rewards or the Fall Cosmetic shop. The cosmetic costs 1 billion Sheckles and requires contributing to Fall Bloom 10 times to unlock it. Once you have it, put it in your garden, and every 5 minutes, it imbues random plants with the Fall mutation.
Best Tips to Get Fall Mutation in Grow a Garden
The easiest way to get the Fall mutation on plants is through actively contributing to the Fall Bloom. Here are a few tips that can help you get this mutation on most of the plants in your plot.
- Stack Fall Fountain: Cosmetics are some of the easiest items to get from the shop. Make sure you collect the Fall Fountains and stack them in your garden. This will speed up your mutation obtainment. As the cosmetics don’t use your inventory, this is an ideal way to get the Fall mutation in Grow a Garden.
- Actively Contribute in Fall Bloom: The Fall Bloom is one of the easiest events in the game, as you only require the needed plant. So, if you have the crops stacked up in your inventory, contribute to the Tree NPC and complete the Fall Bloom. Each bloom will grant you five guaranteed Fall mutations.
Is the Fall Mutation Worth Getting?
No, the Fall mutation is not worth getting in Grow a Garden. It has a very simplistic look for a 4x value multiplier. Unlike Glimmering or Zen, there is no additional use for this mutation.
Although I suggest you not waste time on this mutation, you will get it eventually. Thanks to being tied to the Fall Bloom, you will keep getting the mutation. Moreover, a 4x multiplier can be good if you keep getting mutations on high-value plants. That is where the Fall Fountain trick applies. Overall, it is a mutation only for the Fall season vibes.
If you want all the new Fall rewards, especially the Golden Lolipop or Maple Resin, then I suggest you chase the Fall Quests in Grow a Garden. Which method are you using to get this new mutation? Let us know in the comments below.
