The Bloom Mutation was added to Grow a Garden on August 16, 2025, as part of the Beanstalk Update. This mutation is unique because it’s tied to a gear item and a pet. If you’re looking to boost your crops with Bloom, here’s everything you need to know about how to get it, what it does, and why it’s worth chasing.
How to Get the Bloom Mutation
The Bloom Mutation is only available through two sources:
- Mutation Spray Bloom (gear item)
- Spriggan (pet)
At the time of writing, both are exclusive to the Beanstalk Event. Here’s how you can unlock each:
| Method | How to Obtain | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mutation Spray Bloom | Contribute to growing the Beanstalk and hope to receive one from a green orb reward during the climb. | Single-use item, 2% drop rate. |
| Spriggan Pet | Climb the Beanstalk to the Goliath’s Goods shop. Available only after you’ve grown the Beanstalk seven times. | Very rare; can spread Bloom to multiple crops. |
What Does the Bloom Mutation Do?
Like other mutations, Bloom multiplies the value of your crops. Specifically:
- Value Multiplier: ×8 (not the highest, but still strong).
- Visual Effect: Adds glowing, flower-like particles and pixelated green explosions around mutated fruit.
Mutation Sources Explained
Spriggan Pet (Overgrowth Trait)
- Every 10–25 minutes, Spriggan spreads its roots.
- This has a chance to grant the Bloom Mutation to all nearby crops.
- Since it’s a pet, it provides a more sustainable way to spread Bloom, but it’s rare and expensive.
Mutation Spray Bloom
- Single-use item that instantly gives Bloom to one crop.
- Much easier to obtain than Spriggan, though the 2% drop rate makes it luck-dependent.
- Best used on crops that already have multiple mutation stacks for maximum profit.
Trading for Spriggan
If you’re determined to get the Spriggan but don’t want to grind the Beanstalk, your best bet is player trading. Expect to offer:
- Other rare pets of equal value, or
- A large amount of Sheckles.
The Bloom Mutation isn’t the most powerful mutation in Grow a Garden, but with its ×8 multiplier and unique floral effects, it’s a worthwhile addition for collectors and farmers alike.
If you’re aiming for Bloom:
- Go for the Mutation Spray Bloom if you want a quick boost.
- Hunt down the Spriggan pet if you’re looking for long-term growth potential.
If you’re serious about maximizing your harvests, the Bloom Mutation is a must-have. Whether you rely on the Mutation Spray Bloom for quick results or aim to unlock the Spriggan for long-term growth, both methods are rewarding in their own way. And if you’re looking to expand your collection, don’t forget to trade with other players or even buy Grow A Garden pets to give yourself the best chance at success.
