How to Get Rare Plants & Maximize Profits

Grow a Garden has taken Roblox by storm, surpassing even Fortnite concurrent players. The game seems simple on the surface: plant seeds, harvest produce, sell your harvest for a profit to buy rarer and more valuable plants.

There’s so much more to the game than that, though. Frequent special events, rare plants, and weather effects all work in conjunction to make this a surprisingly complex virtual gardening experience.

Special weather and environmental effects, in particular, can cause your plants to mutate, increasing their value. Learning how to increase your chances of getting mutated plants can help increase your profits and earn you more Sheckles quickly.

How To Get Plant Mutations In Grow A Garden

There Are Several Methods For Growing Mutated Plants

When a plant in Grow a Garden mutates, its price is increased by a certain multiplier. Rarer mutations result in larger multipliers, drastically improving your profit margin. There are several ways to get mutations, but the main methods are as follows:

Some mutations can appear by random chance.
Weather effects cause certain mutations.
Various pets can apply specific mutations.
Different types of sprinklers have a chance to apply mutations.
Mutation sprays can be purchased at the store.
Some mutations combine to form new effects.

Knowing how to get the more valuable mutations is a great way to make your garden the most useful for you.

Strategies For Maximizing Mutations

Although mutations are mostly random, there are some things you can do to boost your chances of getting them. One thing you can do is strategically set up sprinklers around your garden as soon as you can.

Put pets to work in the garden for a chance to have them spread a mutation to the growing plants. Being active during special events gives you the chance to acquire whatever event-specific mutations are happening.

But the biggest and easiest thing you can do to improve your chances of a mutated plant is to do nothing at all. The longer you leave your plants growing before harvest, the bigger the chance of random weather, special events, and other happenings.

The more different factors your growing plants are exposed to, the more mutations you can get. These mutations can either stack or combine into new, rare variations. Leave your plants growing until they’ve accumulated several mutations, then harvest for a potentially huge Sheckle influx.
