Grow a Garden: Plant Mutation Guide
Plant mutations are a key feature in Grow a Garden, allowing you to grow rare and valuable versions of your crops. This guide will explain how mutations work and how to increase your chances of getting those coveted gold and rainbow plants!
What are Plant Mutations?
In Grow a Garden, plants can randomly mutate as they grow. These mutations result in different sizes and colors, significantly increasing their selling price. The most sought-after mutations are usually gold and rainbow variants.
How to Get Mutations
While mutations are somewhat random, there are strategies you can employ to improve your odds:
- Fertilizers: Using high-quality fertilizers can increase the chance of mutations. Experiment with different types!
- Pets: Some pets have abilities that directly influence plant growth and mutation rates. Check your pet's abilities carefully.
- Special Events: Keep an eye out for in-game events that might offer temporary boosts to mutation rates or special items that guarantee mutations.
- Planting Conditions: While not fully confirmed, some players believe that specific planting patterns or environmental conditions might subtly affect mutation chances.
Types of Mutations
Mutations can vary by plant type, but generally, you'll encounter:
- Size Mutations: Larger plants often sell for more.
- Color Mutations: These are the most visually distinct and often the most valuable. Look for vibrant, unusual colors.
- Gold and Rainbow: These are the rarest and most profitable mutations. They are highly prized by players.
Maximizing Your Profits
Once you get a mutated plant, make sure to sell it for maximum profit! Consider holding onto some rare mutated seeds if you want to try and replicate your success, though mutation is never guaranteed.
