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 a 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 is that this mutation in Grow a Garden only has a 0.1% chance, which is 1 in every 1000 fruits, of appearing 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.
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 easy to obtain and are usually found in larger numbers. Usually, the weather in Grow a Garden is sunny, and it rains occasionally. When it’s raining, your fruits will have a 50% chance to get the Wet mutation, along with a significant boost in plant growth rate.
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. You may increase this chance by placing a Lightning Rod in your plot.
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 types of Grow a Garden gear, such as 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 (Unobtainable)
The Choc mutation was a recent addition to the game and was available during the Easter event in Grow a Garden. All you needed to do was 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 would have given 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 to use alongside the rare crops in your field to get higher returns.
7. Chilled Mutation
The Angry Plant update introduces the Snow weather condition in Grow a Garden, which increases the chances of two new mutations. The Chilled mutation is one of them that increases the price of your fruits by 2 times its original value.
You may not quickly notice any change in the color, rather snowflake-like particles seem to be dropping off from the harvest with the Chilled mutation.
8. Frozen Mutation
Finally, the last one on your list is the Frozen mutation, introduced alongside the Chilled one in the Angry Plant update. This might be quite hard to obtain since only the Wet mutated harvest can get the Frozen mutation during Snowy weather.
Due to the hard nature of obtaining this mutation, you will have an increased money multiplier and thereby boost the sale value of your harvest by 10 times.
9. Moonlit Mutation
With the new Lunar event in Grow a Garden, we now have a night cycle in the game for the first time. The best thing about this cycle is that the plants in the garden have an increased chance of getting the Moonlit mutation. This new mutation gives all affected plants 2x sale value.
You can increase your chances of getting this mutation by placing the Night Staff found by completing the Lunar Glow quest. The staff will guarantee this mutation on any six random crops from your garden.
Apart from the ones mentioned above, all other fruits are regular fruits that do not have a 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, a Wet Shocked Rainbow fruit can have a price that is 5,000 times the base price.
And 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!
