🌱 All Mutations in Grow a Garden

In Grow a Garden, mutations are special crop enhancements that boost their value, change their appearance, and sometimes stack with other mutations for even higher multipliers. Some occur naturally, others require specific weather, pets, or tools.

🔗 Mutation Stacking Explained

Stacking occurs when multiple mutations affect the same plant, multiplying their effects together. This is how you get insanely valuable crops.

✅ Example Stack:
    •    Wet (×2)
    •    Chilled (×2)
→ Becomes Frozen (×10)
    •    If that Frozen plant is struck by lightning → Shocked (×100)
    •    Total: Frozen + Shocked = ×10 × 100 = ×1,000 value

✅ Another Example:
    •    Golden (×20)
    •    Zombified (×25)
→ Stacks to 20 × 25 = ×500

Stacking is the key strategy for high-profit gardening. Mutations that result from combination triggers (like Frozen from Wet + Chilled) can themselves be stacked with rare mutations like Rainbow, Shocked, or Golden if conditions align.
