Grow a Garden provides players with some exclusive mutations in addition to the usual fruits and veggies. These mutations are the key to earning some extra cash in the game. While some of these mutations are event-specific, others appear randomly. Once you start playing the game, you might want to know what these mutations are, how to get them, and how they increase your crop’s value. So, here is a comprehensive guide explaining the mutations in Grow a Garden, along with ways to get them easily.
What are All the Mutations in Grow a Garden?
1. Gold Mutation
Gold mutations are hard to obtain since all your fruits have a random chance to get this. The drop rate for Gold mutation is 1%, which means 1 out of every 100 fruits can have it. Moreover, Gold fruits add a 20x multiplier to the sale value in Grow a Garden, thereby helping you make a huge profit.
The best way to get Gold mutation is to fill your garden with loads of plants to increase the chances of spawning such a fruit. In order to identify the Gold mutation, look out for the shiny stars floating around the fruit in your garden.
2. Rainbow Mutation
The Rainbow mutation is even harder to get than the Gold one. The reason being this mutation in Grow a Garden only has a 0.1% chance, which is 1 in every 1000 fruits, to appear on any random fruit. The fruit will keep changing colors and have a round halo of rainbow colors around it.
Although the chances are really low, it adds a whopping 50x multiplier to the sale value of the fruit. So, having a rainbow fruit or veggie grow in your garden can help you make money in Grow a Garden with ease.
In order to have the maximum chances of getting this mutation, you must densely plant crops in your garden and use Advanced or Godly sprinklers in that area.
3. Wet Mutation
Wet mutations are relatively simpler to get and usually obtained in larger numbers. Usually, the weather in Grow a Garden stays sunny and it rains once in a while. When it’s rain, your fruits will have a 50% chance to get the Wet mutation alongside a significant boost in the growth rate of plants.
The Wet mutation comes with a 2x multiplier, doubling the sale value of all your fruits. Wet fruits have a characteristic water drop animation that distinguishes them from the regular ones. The best way to get this mutation is, well, wait for the rainy weather.
4. Shocked Mutation
Next, we have the Shocked mutation, which is one of the hardest (yet best) mutations to get in Grow a Garden. You can get this mutation when the weather in your server changes to Thunderstorms. It happens rarely, but when it does, there’s a small chance for lightning to strike your crops. If it does, the crops will get the Shocked mutation.
The Shocked fruits glow brightly, emitting light particles, and can be seen from a distance. With this mutation, your fruit gets a powerful 50x sale value multiplier, and sometimes, it can be stacked with Wet, Gold, or Rainbow mutation as well, increasing the price by multiple folds.
5. Big Mutation
The Big mutation is as simple as its name, as it increases the size of the fruit and makes it giant in size. It can be easily obtained by using various kinds of Grow a Garden gear, like the Basic, Godly, and Master Sprinklers.
Although your fruits may seem huge, the Big mutation doesn’t add any value multiplier, per se. But the massive fruits have increased weight and sell at a higher price than normal-sized fruits. So, place sprinklers at the center of a cluster of plants to get the best out of them and turn all the surrounding fruits into massive ones, or with mutations.
6. Choc Mutation
The Choc mutation is the latest addition to the game and arrives with the Easter event in Grow a Garden. All you need to do is complete the Easter event by submitting 30 kg of gold plants to the Easter shop owner, buy the Chocolate sprinkler, and place it in your garden. This will give all the surrounding fruits the Choc mutation instantly.
The Choc mutation multiplies the price of fruit by 2x, however, the cost of a Chocolate sprinkler is $500,000. Therefore, it’s recommended that you have rare crops in your field first and then use the sprinkler to get higher returns.
Apart from the ones mentioned above, all other fruits are regular fruits that don’t have any value multiplier and sell at their base price. Furthermore, there have been cases where these mutations stack to increase the price many times over. For instance — there can be a Wet Shocked Rainbow fruit whose price can be 5000 times the base price.
At the time of writing, these are all the mutations in Grow a Garden. So, have you completed the Easter event and claimed your Choc mutation fruits yet? Let us know in the comments below!
