How to Get Pitcher Plant in Grow a Garden
28th June, 2025

Looking to add the elusive Pitcher Plant to your Roblox garden collection? I've spent countless hours tracking this Divine-tier seed in Grow a Garden, and I'm here to share everything you need to know about obtaining this controversial crop. Despite what some wikis might tell you, the Pitcher Plant IS obtainable - but it's going to test your patience and your Sheckles balance!

After the Mega Summer update shook up the game's meta, the Pitcher Plant emerged as one of the most debated additions to Grow a Garden. With its eye-watering 7.5 million Sheckles price tag and frustratingly low 1% spawn rate, many players question whether this carnivorous beauty is worth the investment. Let me break down exactly why this plant has the community divided and how you can add it to your collection.

How to Get Pitcher Plant in Grow a Garden?

Method 1: Seed Shop Purchase (Primary Method)

The most straightforward way to obtain the Pitcher Plant is through Tom's Seed Shop. Here's my proven strategy for catching this rare seed:

  1. Check the Shop Every 5 Minutes: Since the shop refreshes on a 5-minute timer, set an alarm on your phone. I use a simple timer app that buzzes every 5 minutes while I'm playing.
  2. Use the Seeds Button: Instead of walking to the shop, tap the "Seeds" button at the top of your screen for instant teleportation. This saves precious seconds when that 1% chance finally hits.
  3. Keep 7.5 Million Sheckles Ready: There's nothing worse than seeing the Pitcher Plant in stock but not having enough funds. I always maintain at least 10 million Sheckles as a buffer.
  4. Join Stock Tracking Discords: The Grow a Garden community has dedicated Discord servers that alert you when rare seeds appear. This is especially helpful if you're AFK or playing other games.

Method 2: Direct Robux Purchase

If you're not interested in the waiting game, you can bypass the RNG entirely:

  • Cost: 715 Robux
  • Availability: Always available when you click on the seed in the shop
  • Best For: Players who value their time over in-game currency

I'll be honest - at 715 Robux (roughly $9 USD), this is one of the more expensive Divine seeds. Consider whether the unique mutations in Grow a Garden will make this investment worthwhile for your playstyle.

Method 3: Pet Collection (Alternative Method)

Two specific pets can potentially fetch Pitcher Plants from other players' gardens:

  • Red Fox (Legendary): Can retrieve fruits/plants from neighboring gardens
  • Raccoon (Divine): Similar ability with slightly better success rates

Important notes about this method:

  • The server MUST have another player with a Pitcher Plant already planted
  • Success rates are extremely low (estimated <0.1% per attempt)
  • You'll only get the fruit, not the seed itself

Is the Pitcher Plant Worth It?

Let me be brutally honest - the Pitcher Plant is one of the worst Divine investments in the game from a pure profit perspective. Here's why:

The Problems:

  • Terrible ROI: At 30,000 Sheckles average per harvest, you'd need 250 harvests just to break even
  • Single Crop Production: Unlike other multi-harvest Divines that produce multiple fruits, Pitcher Plant only grows one at a time
  • Slow Growth: Takes several minutes between harvests, limiting profit potential

The Benefits:

  • Collection Value: Completing your Divine seed collection
  • Mutation Potential: With the right mutation combinations, profits can increase dramatically
  • Trading Material: Rare plants are always in demand for trades
  • Aesthetic Appeal: The carnivorous plant design is genuinely unique

Maximizing Pitcher Plant Profits

If you do decide to invest in a Pitcher Plant, here's how to make the most of it:

1. Focus on Mutations

The base value is terrible, but mutations can save this investment:

  • Shocked (50x): Wait for thunderstorms - I've sold Shocked Pitcher Plants for 1.5 million
  • Rainbow (50x): Use Godly Sprinklers for that 0.1% chance
  • Gold (20x): The 1% natural rate isn't bad with patience

2. Strategic Placement

  • Plant in the center of your garden for easy access
  • Surround with fast-growing crops to maximize space efficiency
  • Use growth-boosting pets nearby

3. Trading Opportunities

Many collectors will overpay for Pitcher Plant fruits or grown plants:

  • Check trading servers during peak hours (3-7 PM EST)
  • Bundle with other Divine fruits for better deals
  • Target completionist players who need it for their collection

Common Pitcher Plant Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Buying Without Funds to Spare: Don't spend your last 7.5 million - you'll need money for other seeds and gear
  2. Expecting Quick Profits: This is a long-term investment at best
  3. Planting Too Many: One or two Pitcher Plants are enough - focus your garden on more profitable Divine seeds
  4. Ignoring Weather Events: Missing a thunderstorm with your Pitcher Plant grown is leaving millions on the table

Pro Tips from a Veteran Gardener

After growing hundreds of Pitcher Plants, here are my insider tips:

  1. Multi-Account Strategy: Use alt accounts to increase your chances of finding it in stock
  2. Server Hopping: Different servers can have different shop stocks (though this is debated)
  3. Patience Pays: I typically see Pitcher Plant appear once every 8-10 hours of active checking
  4. Screenshot Everything: When you finally get one, screenshot for trading proof

The Controversy Explained

You might have noticed some sources claiming the Pitcher Plant is "unobtainable" or "unreleased." This confusion stems from:

  • The plant's initial buggy release during the Mega Summer update
  • Its extremely low spawn rate leading players to believe it's not available
  • Outdated wiki information that hasn't been updated

I can confirm with 100% certainty that the Pitcher Plant IS obtainable as of July 2025 - I've personally purchased and grown several.

Alternative Strategies for New Players

If you're new to Grow a Garden and tempted by the Pitcher Plant, consider these alternatives first:

  1. Build Your Foundation: Focus on profitable multi-harvest crops like Strawberries and Corn
  2. Save for Better Divines: Dragon Pepper or Loquat offer much better returns
  3. Master Mutations: Learn to stack mutations on cheaper crops for massive profits
  4. Complete Events: The Summer Harvest Event offers exclusive seeds with better profit potential

Community Strategies and Discord Resources

The Grow a Garden community has developed sophisticated tracking systems for rare seeds:

  • Official Discord: Get real-time stock updates and trading opportunities
  • Stock Bots: Automated notifications when Pitcher Plant appears
  • Trading Channels: Find players willing to trade Pitcher Plant fruits

Remember to verify all trades and never share your account information!

Future of the Pitcher Plant

Based on developer patterns and community feedback, here's what might happen:

  • Potential Buffs: The community has been vocal about the poor ROI
  • Event Integration: Could become part of future carnivorous plant events
  • New Mutations: Exclusive Pitcher Plant mutations might increase its value

Final Verdict: Should You Get the Pitcher Plant?

Here's my honest recommendation based on your player type:

Yes, Get It If:

  • You're a completionist who needs every seed
  • You have excess Sheckles (50M+) burning a hole in your pocket
  • You enjoy collecting rare items regardless of profit
  • You're an experienced trader who can flip it for profit

Skip It If:

  • You're focused on maximizing profits
  • You're still building your garden empire
  • You have less than 20M Sheckles saved
  • You're saving for better Divine seeds

FAQs

How long does Pitcher Plant take to grow?

The Pitcher Plant has a growth time of approximately 3-4 minutes from seed to harvestable state. After each harvest, it takes another 2-3 minutes to produce a new fruit.

Can Pitcher Plant get all mutations?

Yes! Pitcher Plant can receive all standard mutations including Wet, Shocked, Frozen, Gold, Rainbow, and event-specific mutations. However, its low base value means even with mutations, profits remain modest.

What's the best pet to use with Pitcher Plant?

I recommend using pets that boost mutation chances like the Caterpillar or growth speed pets to maximize harvest frequency.

Will Pitcher Plant price ever decrease?

Based on past Divine seed patterns, prices rarely decrease. However, the developers might adjust the sell value if community feedback remains overwhelmingly negative.

Can I trade Pitcher Plant seeds?

No, seeds cannot be traded in Grow a Garden. You can only trade the harvested Pitcher Plant fruits or fully grown plants using the gift feature.

Is the 1% spawn rate accurate?

Yes, extensive community testing confirms the 1% rate. This means on average, you'll see it once every 100 shop refreshes (approximately 8.3 hours of checking).

Conclusion

The Pitcher Plant represents everything that makes Grow a Garden simultaneously frustrating and addictive. While it's far from the best investment in terms of pure profit, there's something satisfying about finally seeing that carnivorous plant appear in your shop after hours of waiting.

My advice? If you're going to get one, do it for the right reasons - collection completion, trading leverage, or simply because you think it looks cool. Just don't expect it to revolutionize your farming profits like other Divine seeds can.

Remember to use those proven mutation strategies and join the community Discord servers for the best chance at success. Happy gardening, and may the RNG gods smile upon your Pitcher Plant hunt!
