The Seed Stage is a new event in Grow a Garden, bringing fresh seeds, plants, pets, gear, and more. It also adds a feature that lets players upgrade new types of seeds to grow higher-level, rarer plants. And to grow such plants properly, players must use the tending methods. In this guide, learn how to tend the new evo plants in Grow a Garden.
Steps to Tend Plants in Grow a Garden
Tending Plants is a very straightforward process in Grow a Garden. It involves following a process, which we will break down into steps. Keep in mind that you can only tend the Evo plant seeds. And by tending the seeds, you have a chance to grow a better crop, which you can submit at the Grow a Garden Seed Stages event for the next tier of the seed and exclusive rewards.
1. Plant Evo Seed
Your first step for tending will be planting an Evo seed in Grow a Garden. As the normal seeds are not eligible for tending, make sure you look for the specific type of seeds. You can obtain the Evo seeds from the seed shop of the Seed Stages Merchant. There are four seeds available, which will be at Stage 1. The Evo seeds available from the merchant are:
- Evo Pumpkin I
- Evo Mushroom I
- Evo Beetroot I
- Evo Blueberry I
The shop will restock in regular intervals, so make sure you visit the NPC store frequently. You can upgrade the seeds, which will unlock higher-stage seeds. Once you have an Evo seed, plant it in your garden. You can wait for it to grow normally or follow the next step of tending the plant.
2. Use or Submit Gears
Almost everyone who plays the game knows about Grow a Garden gears and their uses. You can use your gears on the Evo plants that you’ll tend to speed up their growth, like any other normal plant. You can either use the gears normally or go near the Evo plants and hold the E key to tend them. Here is a list of gears that can speed up the growth of your plants or improve their size, helping in tending the plants.
| Gear Name | Price | Use/ Effects |
|---|---|---|
| Watering Can | 50,000 | – 10 Uses – Speeds Plant Growth |
| Basic Sprinkler | 20,000 | – Runs for 5 mins – Speeds plant growth and increases fruit size |
| Advanced Sprinkler | 50,000 | – Runs for 5 mins – Increases plant growth and increases mutation chances |
| Godly Sprinkler | 100,000 | – Runs for 5 mins – Speeds plant growth, increases mutation chances, and increases fruit size |
| Master Sprinkler | 10,000,000 | – Runs for 10 mins – Speeds up plant growth, increases mutation chances, and increases fruit size |
| Grandmaster Sprinkler | 50,000,000 | – Runs for 10 mins – Massively speeds up plant growth, increases mutation chances, and increases fruit size |
3. Feed Plants to Grow Bigger Evo Plant
You can surprisingly feed your Evo plants that you are planning to tend. Pluck other crops and feed them to the Evo plants, causing them to grow bigger. The size of your plants will depend on what mutation or size of plants you feed.
There is also a chance that the tending plants will carry over a Grow a Garden mutation from the plants that you’ve fed them. This will allow you to customize your plants with various mutations, and even have multiple mutations at the same time. You can see in the above image that our Evo Beetroot II has three different mutations: Windstruck, Wet, and Cracked.
We recommend using the sprinklers before you feed the mutated plants to your tending plants. The effects of the sprinklers will increase the mutation chances of your tending plants. That way, you can have various mutations on the same plant.
After following all the steps, your Evo plant will have grown, ready to be harvested. You can keep the plant as it is, or harvest the fruit and submit it to the Seed Stage NPC to get rewards like the Jungle Egg in Grow a Garden.
If you get an Evo plant with rare mutations, we’d say that you keep it in your Garden, as they are one-time harvestable. That would make your garden look much more attractive. You can also use the Favorite Tool in Grow a Garden to lock the plant from accidental plucking. And, even if you harvest it, mark it as your favourite so that you don’t sell it accidentally.
That’s everything you need to know about tending plants in the Grow a Garden Seed Stage event. Let us know which mutations your Evo plant got, in the comments below.
