Maximize your crop profits with this breakdown of all mutations in Grow a Garden. Discover triggers, multipliers, and the best ones to farm.
Mutations are the hidden engine behind sky-high crop prices in Grow a Garden. Forget hunting mythical seeds for now; a single Celestial or Disco turn can dwarf the payout from entire plots of ordinary fruit.
This guide lays the groundwork you need to spot, trigger, and profit from every mutation in the Plasma Update. You will learn which weather patterns to chase, which sprinklers and pets actually matter, and how to position your plot so Jandel’s laser lands where it counts.
Mutations in Grow a Garden (Plasma Update)
Mutations are key to increasing your profits in Grow a Garden, especially after the Plasma Update. Instead of relying only on high-rarity seeds, you should focus on mutating your crops to boost their selling price significantly. There are 17 types of mutations, each with different appearances, triggers, and selling multipliers.
Use the table below to get a clear idea of what each mutation does, how much it’s worth, and how to obtain it:
Mutation Types Overview
| Mutation Name | Appearance Description | Selling Multiplier | How to Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Standard crop appearance | x1 | Base crop – 98.1% chance |
| Big (Overgrown) | Large and heavy | x1 | Random chance; use Basic or Master Sprinklers |
| Bloodlit | Shiny red glow | x4 | Appears during Blood Moon (every 3 hours) |
| Choc | Looks like frozen chocolate | x2 | Chocolate Sprinkler (Easter 2025 Event only) |
| Celestial | Sparkling yellow/purple aura | x120 | Meteor Event (1 in 3 nights), struck by Meteor Star |
| Chilled | Frosted appearance | x2 | Occurs randomly during Snow Weather |
| Disco | Constantly changing colors like a disco ball | x125 | Exclusive; happens during Admin-triggered Disco Event |
| Frozen | Covered in ice | x10 | Wet crop left out during Snow Weather |
| Golden | Fully golden, heavier | x20 | 1% random chance |
| Moonlit | Shiny purple tint | x2 | Appears during Moonlit Event (every hour) |
| Plasma | Neon pinkish glow | x5 | Laser beam from Jandel during Lazer Event |
| Rainbow | Color-cycling with rainbow tint | x50 | 0.1% random chance |
| Shocked | Bright neon glow | x50 | Lightning strike or thunderstorm |
| Twisted | Foggy, smoky appearance | x5 | Triggered by Tornado Weather Event |
| Wet | Water dripping from surface | x2 | Triggered during Rain Weather |
| Zombified | Green fog, dripping slime | x25 | Chicken Zombie Pet must be equipped |
Best Mutations for Profit
If your goal is to earn as much money as possible, prioritize these high-multiplier mutations:
- Disco (x125) – Highest multiplier but completely dependent on admin-triggered events. Stay updated via the Grow a Garden Discord.
- Celestial (x120) – Triggered during Meteor Events. Rare but incredibly valuable.
- Rainbow and Shocked (x50) – One is purely RNG; the other requires lightning strikes. Both are worth chasing.
- Golden (x20) – Slightly easier to get than the others, but still low odds.
- Frozen (x10) – Requires two conditions: Wet mutation first, then Snow Weather. Manageable if you time it right.
How To Increase Mutation Chances
- Use Sprinklers: Sprinklers like Basic and Master increase mutation odds, especially for Big crops.
- Watch the Weather: Snow, Rain, Tornado, and Blood Moon are all tied to mutations. Keep an eye on event timings.
- Stack Conditions: Some mutations need multiple events in sequence. For Frozen, you need Wet crops before Snow hits.
- Pets Matter: The Chicken Zombie Pet is the only way to get the Zombified Mutation.
Focus on the mutations that pay off. Skip the ones that don’t increase value unless you’re just collecting. In Grow a Garden, time, planning, and a little RNG are what turn basic crops into massive money-makers.
