Plagued

The Plagued mutation is a genuine top-shelf value effect, carrying a staggering x102 multiplier — one of the highest single-mutation figures you will find in Grow a Garden. Where a 50x rainbow bonus already feels elite, x102 more than doubles it, so a single Plagued fruit can transform an ordinary harvest into a serious payday. This is the kind of effect you build a whole sell pile around.

It is easy to spot on the plant. The fruit is wrapped in green mist and gives off contagious green particles, a sickly, infectious look that fits the "plague" theme perfectly. That contagious presentation is part of its identity: it reads as a spreading-style effect rather than a quiet weather tint, which is exactly why it carries such a heavy multiplier.

Because Plagued is a multiplicative bonus, it layers cleanly on top of other mutations and base color tiers, so stacking it over a rainbow or weather-buffed crop pushes totals to extreme highs. The verdict: chase it hard. A x102 effect is rare enough and powerful enough that prioritizing the conditions to trigger it — and protecting any fruit that rolls it before selling — is almost always the correct play for an income-focused farmer.
