In Grow a Garden, combining the right conditions and rare effects can transform your crops into high-value produce. One of the most profitable outcomes is the Paradisal Mutation, a rare fusion effect introduced in the Summer Update. This guide explains how it works, how to get it, and how to increase your chances of unlocking its powerful bonus.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about Paradisal Mutation and multiplier mechanics in Grow a Garden.
What Is Paradisal Mutation?
Paradisal is a combo mutation that applies a massive x18 multiplier to the value of any crop it affects. Unlike standard mutations, Paradisal cannot be applied directly. Instead, it appears only when two other mutations are active on a single plant:
Verdant Mutation
Sundried Mutation
Once both of these mutations are triggered—regardless of order—the crop will automatically shift into its Paradisal form.
This mechanic is similar to how Frozen Mutation works, which is created by combining Wet and Chilled statuses.
How to Get Verdant Mutation
Verdant is one of the two essential mutations needed to trigger Paradisal. It changes the fruit’s color to green and applies a x4 multiplier.
To apply it, you’ll need a specific pet:
Scarlet Macaw – Only available from the Paradise Egg
Costs 50 million Sheckles or 139 Robux
8% chance to hatch from the Paradise Egg
Check stock notifications via the official Grow a Garden Discord server
Scarlet Macaw automatically attempts to apply Verdant every 11 minutes and 51 seconds, with a 15.95% chance per cycle. The process is passive once you own the pet, but obtaining it is the biggest challenge.
Pro tip: Scarlet Macaw may be available through player trading, but be cautious—trading is not officially supported or secured by the developers.
How to Get Sundried Mutation
Sundried is the second condition required for Paradisal. This mutation occurs only during a specific weather event:
Heatwave – One of the new weather types in the Summer Update
During Heatwave, focused sunlight must strike your crop
Use the Tanning Mirror gear to increase the chance of exposure
Sundried Mutation turns the fruit a dark brown color and grants a x85 multiplier on its own. It’s already powerful, but when combined with Verdant, it triggers the Paradisal state.
Keep an eye out for Heatwave events and have a Tanning Mirror ready to direct sunlight precisely onto your growing crops.
How to Trigger Paradisal Mutation
To activate Paradisal, both Verdant and Sundried mutations must affect the same crop. The order doesn’t matter—once both are present, the Paradisal mutation will take effect automatically.
Here’s a simple strategy:
Hatch a Scarlet Macaw and ensure it’s active in your garden.
Wait for a Heatwave, or trigger one if possible.
Use a Tanning Mirror to aim sunlight directly at your crop.
Make sure the Macaw is nearby to passively apply Verdant.
Once both mutations hit the crop, you’ll see it transform into Paradisal form with the x18 value boost.
Final Thoughts
The Paradisal Mutation in Grow a Garden is one of the most valuable and rewarding combinations available. With a whopping x18 multiplier, it can significantly boost your profit—but it also requires patience, planning, and a bit of luck.
Make sure to:
Invest in the Paradise Egg to get the Scarlet Macaw
Monitor Heatwave events and use the Tanning Mirror effectively
Manage your garden layout so your crops can be affected by both conditions
Stay cautious when trading pets and check the Discord server for real-time updates on egg availability
If executed correctly, Paradisal Mutation can turn ordinary crops into some of the most lucrative assets in the game.
