The Tanning Mirror is one of the most powerful tools added in Grow a Garden’s Summer Update. It’s designed to help you earn massive profits by increasing the chance of applying the Sundried mutation to your crops, a mutation that multiplies a crop’s value by four.

If you’re trying to take full advantage of the Summer Harvest events, this guide will show you exactly how the Tanning Mirror works and why it’s worth the investment.

How To Get the Tanning Mirror in Grow a Garden Roblox

The Tanning Mirror is a Mythical rarity gear that you can buy from Eloise at the Gear Shop. Just open her catalog and look for the Tanning Mirror when it appears.

There are two ways to buy it:

  • 1,000,000 Sheckles
  • 219 Robux

If it’s not in the shop, don’t worry, the catalog refreshes every 5 minutes, so just check back later. It shows up pretty often.

How the Tanning Mirror Works

The mirror becomes active only during Heatwave weather events. When placed near your crops, it reflects sunbeams onto nearby plants, and each reflection has a chance to apply the Sundried mutation.

This mutation gives your crop 4x its normal sale value.

A few key things to know:

  • It only affects crops during Heatwaves.
  • It has 10 uses total, and then the mirror breaks.
  • The reflections hit random nearby plants, so you want to place them near your highest-value crops.

Best Way To Use the Tanning Mirror

Timing and placement are everything. Don’t waste your mirror on basic crops like carrots or tulips.

Instead:

  • Wait until a Heatwave event starts.
  • Place it next to rare and valuable plants like Prismatic or Divine crops.
  • Keep the area around it clear of low-tier plants to avoid wasting the reflections.

If even 7 or 8 of your crops get the mutation, you’ve already more than made your money back.

Is the Tanning Mirror Worth It?

Yes, especially if you’re focused on growing high-tier crops and farming during Heatwave events. A single Sundried crop can boost your profits by hundreds of thousands of Sheckles. Use it wisely, and the Tanning Mirror can easily become one of the best investments in the game.

Save up your Sheckles and grab one when it shows up. You won’t regret it.
