If you’re trying to turn your basic little fruits patch into a cash-printing machine in Grow a Garden, there’s one thing you absolutely need: mutations. Mutations are the secret sauce that turns your 183,000-coin candy blossom into a chocolate bloodlit celestial frozen shocked gold monster worth a whopping ₵153 BILLION. Yeah, you read that right. So in this guide, I’m walking you through every single mutation in the game, what they do, how to get them, and how to stack them for stupidly high profits. Some are easy. Some are luck-based. Some are a straight-up grind. But I got you covered for all of ’em.
How to Get Every Mutation in Grow a Garden
Mutations are visual and value-based transformations that your crops can undergo, making them not just cooler-looking but also waaaaay more valuable.
There are two main types of mutations in Grow a Garden:
- Environmental Mutations – Triggered by weather, events, pets, or gear.
- Growth Mutations – Applied during or after the crop’s growth, often using pets or tools like sprinklers.
You can also stack mutations to multiply your crop’s value to absurd levels. Think Golden + Shocked + Frozen + Chocolate… yeah, the math gets wild. (More on that below.)
Let’s break them down one by one.
Environmental Mutations (Triggered by Weather & Events)
| Mutation Name | Multiplier | How to Get It | Notes / Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wet | x2 | Occurs during Rain | Teardrop icon appears. Mid-tier. |
| Chilly | x2 | Happens in Snow or if hit by a Polar Bear | Same tier as Wet. Can’t combine with Frozen. |
| Frozen | x10 | Triggered when both Wet + Chilly hit a plant, or by Polar Bear | Best among Wet/Chilly/Frozen. Only one of the three can be active at once. |
| Chocolate | x2 | Requires a Chocolate Sprinkler (2025 Easter Event, trade-only now) | Can’t buy anymore. Optional bonus if available. |
| Moonlit | x2 | Happens at night with purple skies (Lunar Glow Event) | Use only 1 plant to boost odds. Night Staff helps a lot. |
| Bloodlit | x4 | During Blood Moon events | Server-hop until you find one. RNG-based. |
| Plasma | x5 | Only from Laser Admin Weather (past limited event) | Unobtainable now unless event returns. |
| Twisted | x30 | Requires Tornado Weather (rare or possibly admin-only) | Still being confirmed by community. Super rare. |
| Shocked | x100 | Happens during Thunderstorms with a Lightning Rod from Gear Shop | One of the best boosts. Must use Lightning Rod correctly. |
| Celestial | x120 | During Meteor Showers at night. Use a Star Collar (₵12M from Blood Moon Shop) | Huge value. Star Collar increases mutation odds dramatically. |
| Party/Disco | x125 | During Disco Events (used to be admin-only, now random around 6–7PM or before updates) | Highest multiplier in-game. Time it right and cash in big. |
Growth Mutations (Through Pets & Tools)
| Mutation Name | Multiplier | How to Get It | Notes / Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden | x20 | Two methods: • Place 3 Dragonflies near your plant (rare pet) • Use the Sprinkler Glitch: Place one of every sprinkler, leave the game for a few hours, come back | Dragonflies are trade-only. Sprinkler Glitch also has a chance to give Rainbow. |
| Zombified | x25 | Use a Chicken Jockey pet near your plant (trade-only for now) | Best to use with only one crop planted. Try borrowing one from a friend. |
| Rainbow | x50 | Pure RNG or via Sprinkler Glitch (leave plant overnight) | Extremely rare. Sprinkler Glitch improves your odds. |
Mutation Stacking: The Real Profit Engine
Here’s how the game calculates total crop value:
Total Value = Base Value × Growth Mutation × (1 + Sum of Environmental Bonuses)
Mutation Stack Bonuses:
| Mutation | Bonus |
|---|---|
| Wet, Chilly, Moonlit, Chocolate | +1 |
| Bloodlet | +3 |
| Frozen | +9 |
| Zombified | +24 |
| Shocked | +99 |
| Celestial | +119 |
| Disco | +124 |
Note: You can only have ONE of these combos:
- Wet / Chilly / Frozen
- Golden / Rainbow
Stacking Examples:
- Golden + Frozen → 20 × (1 + 9) = 200x
- Rainbow + Shocked + Frozen → 50 × (1 + 99 + 9) = 5,450x
- Rainbow + Shocked + Frozen + Disco + Celestial → 50 × (1 + 99 + 9 + 124 + 119) = 17,600x
- Max known stack: ₵19,250x multiplier
How To Get The 19,250x Stack Bonus
Alright, so you want the ultimate crop, the crown jewel, the giga-chad of fruits, the 19,050x multiplier monster that turns heads and wrecks leaderboards? It’s real, I’ve seen it (and almost cried getting there), but fair warning: this is not for the faint of heart. You’ll need luck, patience, and a little bit of insanity.
- Start with a Rainbow Crop: This gives you a base 50x multiplier, flashy, rare, and essential. You’ll need the sprinkler glitch or just pure RNG luck.
- Wait for a Thunderstorm → Shocked Mutation (+100x): This is a huge spike in value. Make sure your plant’s on the field when lightning strikes, and use a Lightning Rod to increase your odds.
- Wait for Rain → Wet Mutation: Don’t move your crop. Just sit in the rain and let it soak.
- Wait for Frost Weather → Frozen Mutation (+9x): The Wet crop will evolve to Chilly, then Frozen. Now you’ve got that cold-hard bonus.
- Wait for Night → Moonlit Mutation (+1x): Any regular nighttime will do. Helps if you’re stacking with a Night Staff.
- Apply Chocolate Mutation (+2x): This one’s tricky, you’ll need a Chocolate Sprinkler from the 2025 Easter event. It’s not available anymore, so you’ll have to trade or borrow. If you don’t have one, skip this step (and knock your total down a bit).
- Wait for a Disco Event → Disco Mutation (+125x): The rarest mutation in the game. Admin-triggered or randomly spawns around 6–7 PM game time. If you catch one, GO. ALL. IN.
- Wait for a Meteor Shower → Celestial Mutation (+120x): Place a Star Caller nearby (₵12M from the Blood Moon Shop) to boost your odds. This mutation alone can make or break your stack.
- Wait for a Blood Moon → Bloodlit Mutation (+3x): Same as Moonlit, but red and spicy. Stack this on top for even more juice.
- Place a Chicken Zombie Pet Nearby → Zombified Mutation (+25x): Rare and trade-only right now. Plop this undead chicken legend next to your plant and wait. Best with only one plant active to focus the chance.
Some of these are pure RNG or rely on rare admin-triggered events (like Disco and Celestial), so this isn’t something you grind out in an afternoon. But if you ever manage to pull it off? You’re part of an elite club. A mutation-stacking legend.
Honestly, this is less farming and more ritual summoning at this point, but the result is worth every second.
Wrap-Up
And there you have it, the full mutation lineup in Grow a Garden, from the humble Wet to the absolutely bonkers Disco-Celestial-Rainbow-Shocked-Chocolate-Zombie-Bloodlit-Frozen mega-mutation. Yeah, it sounds ridiculous, because it is. But that’s also what makes it so fun.
Some of these methods are straightforward, you just need the right pet or weather. Others are RNG nightmares. And a few? Honestly, they feel like you’re doing a dark crop ritual under a red moon while praying for meteors to fall and lightning to strike. It gets weird. But once you start stacking, really stacking, Grow a Garden stops being a chill farming sim and starts feeling like a chaotic mashup of tycoon game, weather forecasting, and fruit-based black magic.
And trust me, watching one fruit sell for ₵1 billion never gets old. Also, if you haven’t already, go check out my guide on how to make billions in the Blood Moon update too, it pairs perfectly with this one and shows you exactly how to farm that spooky red night for all it’s worth.
