Learn how to get the Hot Spring in Grow a Garden and what it does. Boost all pet passives when used with the right pet.

The Zen Update in Grow a Garden introduced several Divine-tier collectibles, and one of the most powerful among them is the Hot Spring. If you own a Nihonzaru pet, unlocking the Hot Spring can provide a major passive buff to all your pets, making it one of the most desirable support items in the game.
Here’s how the Hot Spring works, how to get it, and why you’ll want to grab it as soon as possible.
What Does Hot Spring Do in Grow a Garden?

When a Nihonzaru pet enters the Hot Spring, it activates a global passive boost that increases the effectiveness of all other pets you’ve equipped. This effect only triggers while the Nihonzaru is in the Hot Spring, so proper pet placement is essential.
It does not work without the Nihonzaru, making it a niche but extremely valuable item if you’re running a support-heavy setup or farming passives.
