What is Plant Tending in Grow a Garden?

Tending a plant helps in growing the Evo seeds faster, helping in completing the event quickly for rewards. The tending system was introduced during the Seed Stages event and represents a significant evolution in Grow a Garden’s gameplay mechanics.

Think of tending as the premium plant care system that goes beyond basic watering and harvesting. Players can tend Evo plants to make them bigger, grow them faster, and add mutations. This process is exclusive to Evo seeds and cannot be used on regular crops, making it a special feature for dedicated event participants.

The tending system serves multiple purposes:

• Accelerated Growth: Speeds up the maturation process of Evo plants
• Size Enhancement: Creates larger, more impressive plants
• Mutation Facilitation: Increases chances for rare and valuable mutations
• Event Progression: Helps complete Seed Stages objectives more efficiently

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Tend Plants in Grow a Garden?

Step 1: Obtain and Plant Evo Seeds

Your first step for tending will be planting an Evo seed in Grow a Garden. As the normal seeds are not eligible for tending, make sure you look for the specific type of seeds.

Where to Get Evo Seeds: You can obtain the Evo seeds from the seed shop of the Seed Stages Merchant. There are four seeds available, which will be at Stage 1.

The four initial Evo seeds available are:

• Evo Pumpkin I – Classic orange vegetable variant
• Evo Mushroom I – Fungi option for diverse gardens
• Evo Beetroot I – Purple root vegetable choice
• Evo Blueberry I – Sweet fruit alternative

Important Notes:

• The shop will restock in regular intervals, so make sure you visit the NPC store frequently.
• Only Stage 1 seeds are initially available
• Higher-stage seeds unlock as you progress through the event
• Each seed type offers different visual aesthetics and potential mutations

Planting Process:

1. Purchase your chosen Evo seed from the Seed Stages Merchant
2. Navigate to an empty plot in your garden
3. Equip the Evo seed from your inventory
4. Click on the brown soil to plant
5. Wait for the initial growth phase to begin

Step 2: Use Gears for Enhanced Growth

You can use your gears on the Evo plants that you’ll tend to speed up their growth, like any other normal plant. You can either use the gears normally or go near the Evo plants and hold the E key to tend them.

The gear system is crucial for effective plant tending. Here’s the complete breakdown of available gears and their effects:

Essential Tending Gears

Gear Name	Price	Duration	Effects
Watering Can	50,000 Sheckles	10 Uses	Speeds Plant Growth
Basic Sprinkler	20,000 Sheckles	5 minutes	Speeds growth + increases fruit size
Advanced Sprinkler	50,000 Sheckles	5 minutes	Growth boost + mutation chances
Godly Sprinkler	100,000 Sheckles	5 minutes	Growth + mutations + fruit size
Master Sprinkler	10,000,000 Sheckles	10 minutes	Enhanced growth + mutations + size
Grandmaster Sprinkler	50,000,000 Sheckles	10 minutes	Massive growth boost + premium effects

Pro Tending Strategies:

• Timing is Everything: Activate sprinklers when you have multiple Evo plants growing simultaneously
• Progressive Investment: Start with Basic Sprinklers and upgrade as your profits increase
• Zone Coverage: Position sprinklers to affect multiple Evo plants in clusters
• Mutation Optimization: Use Advanced or higher sprinklers specifically for mutation chances

Advanced Gear Usage: The key to successful tending lies in understanding gear synergy. I recommend this progression:

1. Early Game: Watering Can for targeted individual plant care
2. Mid Game: Basic and Advanced Sprinklers for area coverage
3. Late Game: Master and Grandmaster Sprinklers for maximum efficiency

Step 3: Feed Plants for Size and Mutations

You can surprisingly feed your Evo plants that you are planning to tend. Pluck other crops and feed them to the Evo plants, causing them to grow bigger. The size of your plants will depend on what mutation or size of plants you feed.

This is perhaps the most innovative aspect of the tending system. Feeding creates a symbiotic relationship between your regular crops and Evo plants.

How Plant Feeding Works:

1. Harvest any mature crop from your garden
2. Approach your growing Evo plant
3. Hold the harvested crop in your inventory
4. Interact with the Evo plant to feed it
5. Observe the size increase and potential mutation transfer

Mutation Transfer Mechanics: There is also a chance that the tending plants will carry over a mutation from the plants that you’ve fed them. This will allow you to customize your plants with various mutations, and even have multiple mutations at the same time.

Strategic Feeding Tips:

• Size Matters: Larger feeder plants create bigger Evo plants
• Mutation Stacking: You can see in the above image that our Evo Beetroot II has three different mutations: Windstruck, Wet, and Cracked.
• Quality Control: Feed only your best-mutated crops for optimal results
• Timing Optimization: We recommend using the sprinklers before you feed the mutated plants to your tending plants. The effects of the sprinklers will increase the mutation chances of your tending plants.

Best Crops for Feeding:

• High-Value Mutations: Rainbow, Golden, or Elemental mutated crops
• Size-Enhanced Plants: Gigantic or oversized regular crops
• Multiple Mutations: Crops with 2+ stacked mutations for transfer potential
• Rare Variants: Limited-edition or event-specific crops

Step 4: Harvest and Submit Your Tended Plants

After following all the steps, your Evo plant will have grown, ready to be harvested. You can keep the plant as it is, or harvest the fruit and submit it to the Seed Stage NPC to get rewards like the Jungle Egg in Grow a Garden.

Decision Making: Keep or Submit? This is where strategy becomes crucial. You have two paths:

Path 1: Submit for Event Rewards

• Submit grown Evo plants to the Seed Stages NPC
• Receive exclusive event rewards
• Progress to higher-tier seeds
• Earn limited-time items and currency

Path 2: Keep as Garden Decoration If you get an Evo plant with rare mutations, we’d say that you keep it in your Garden, as they are one-time harvestable. That would make your garden look much more attractive.

Protection Strategy: You can also use the Favorite Tool in Grow a Garden to lock the plant from accidental plucking. And, even if you harvest it, mark it as your favourite so that you don’t sell it accidentally.

Are there any Evo seeds that are better for tending than others?

All Evo seeds have equal tending potential. Choose based on your aesthetic preferences and current event objectives rather than mechanical advantages.

Can I trade Evo seeds or tended plants with other players?

Yes, both Evo seeds and grown tended plants can be traded. Rare mutations and perfect sizes command premium prices in the trading community.

Do weather effects impact tending success rates?

Absolutely! Weather boosts like rain (Wet mutations) and thunderstorms (Shocked mutations) significantly enhance tending outcomes. Plan your tending sessions around favorable weather.

How do I know if my mutation transfer was successful?

Visual indicators appear on your Evo plant showing inherited mutations. The plant’s appearance will change to reflect the new mutation characteristics, and the name will update to include mutation tags.

Can I use codes or free rewards for tending supplies?

Yes! Active Grow a Garden codes often provide seed packs that may contain Evo seeds, and some include gear items useful for tending.

Is tending worth the investment for casual players?

If you enjoy the Seed Stages event and want exclusive rewards, tending is definitely worthwhile. However, if you prefer focusing on regular farming mechanics, you can skip tending without missing core gameplay.
