Grow a Garden developers added the brand-new Infected mutation with the latest update on July 12, 2025. The limited mutation can only trigger during a special Zombie Invasion admin event. The developers spawned the Admin Abuse event around the time the Pet Mutation Update dropped.

In this article, we will explore the Infected Mutation and how it affects your plants in Grow a Garden.

Grow a Garden: Infected Mutation

The Infected mutation is a new limited mutation that is not related to the Chicken Zombie pet or the Zombified mutation. However, both mutations have a similar visual appearance and change the color of the affected fruit to green.

How To Get It: Jandel Zombie Invasion Event

You can only obtain the new mutation during the Jandel Zombie Invasion event. The event was teased by the official Grow a Garden account on X. As the post depicts, during the event, a giant Jandel Monkey in a suit appears behind the pet egg shop and crafting area.

The model has a horned staff in its hands. During the event, many zombies spawn on the map and run around hunting for players. If a zombie touches you, your Roblox character gets infected. You also gain the ability to infect others on the server.

While the event is ongoing, fruits and flowers in your garden also have a chance to get the Infected Mutation. Currently, this is the only way for a fruit to become infected.

Infected Mutation: Multiplier

The new mutation is quite powerful. Not only does it turn crops green, but it also applies a 75x multiplier to the fruit’s value. This is much better than most of the normal mutations your crops can acquire, and only a few limited admin event mutations give your crops better value.
