The Rot mutation can be applied to your plants if you have the Mandrake pet active in your garden. That’s not all, though, as you also need to plant a few Mandrake plants to activate its passive ability. Getting both of them is extremely easy, and all you need to do is follow the steps below:
- Grow Mandrake Plants: The first step is to buy Mandrake seeds from the giant’s main shop on the cloud platform. Now plant these seeds in your garden and wait for them to grow.
- Get the Mandrake Pet: Now, buy the Skyroot chest from the Friendship shop by interacting with the Goliath NPC. These chests have a small chance of giving you the Mandrake pets.
- Harvest the Mandrakes: Once you get the pet, place it in your garden and start harvesting the mandrake plants. The pet’s passive trait now has a 3.57% chance to apply the Rot mutation on any random plant in your garden while harvesting the Mandrakes.
Best Tips to Get Rot Mutation in Grow a Garden
Now that you know how to get the Rot mutation, here are some tips to help increase your chances of getting this mutation in the game:
- Get lots of Mandrake plants: Since the passive of the Mandrake requires you to harvest the Mandrake plant, make sure you buy a huge quantity of them from the shop. They are cheap and easy to obtain, especially with restocks. So, a larger number of plants will increase the chance of you getting more harvests with the Rot mutation.
- Equip Mandrakes in All Pet Slots: If you are looking for an easy way to apply Rot mutation on your favorite plant, equipping mandrakes in all pet slots will help boost the chances.
Is the Grow a Garden Rot Mutation Worth Getting?
Coming to the question of whether you should try hard and spend all your money to obtain the Rot mutation, it’s not worth it at all.
This is due to the low chance of the Mandrake pet applying the mutation and the low sale value multiplier of 5x. At this rate, you won’t get enough profit to cover the amount you have invested. Moreover, there is not much use for the Rot mutation in the game as well, which further lessens its significance.
