❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most profitable plant in Grow a Garden? ▼

Nightmare Pumpkin (Halloween Event) is currently the most profitable at 48,000 Sheckles/hour with Nightmare mutation. For non-event plants, Meteoric Carrot is the best at 40,000 Sheckles/hour.

How do I get mutations on my plants? ▼

Mutations are obtained through pets. Each pet has a specific mutation it can trigger (e.g., Headless Horseman gives Nightmare mutation). The pet must be equipped and fed to increase mutation chances (typically 6-12%).

What plants should I grow as a beginner? ▼

Start with Potato (B-Tier) - it's cheap, fast, and gives decent profit. Once you have 5,000-10,000 Sheckles, upgrade to Strawberry or Golden Corn. Save up for Meteoric Carrot as soon as possible.

Are event plants worth it? ▼

Absolutely YES! Event plants like Nightmare Pumpkin and Lunar Glow Flower are among the best in the game. They're limited-time only, so get them while you can. Halloween Event ends November 1, 2025!

How many plots should I have? ▼

Start with 10-20 plots for beginners. Mid-game aim for 50-100 plots. Endgame players should have 200+ plots filled with S-Tier plants for maximum profit (8-10 million Sheckles/hour).

Can I get Halloween plants after the event ends? ▼

No! Halloween plants (Nightmare Pumpkin, Spectral Corn, etc.) are exclusive to the Halloween Event (October 11 - November 1, 2025). Get them now or wait until next year's event!
