Many players in Grow a Garden on Roblox have recently encountered a strange bug when trying to feed the Angry Plant. Instead of progressing normally, they receive the message:
“The Angry Plant stares as you hide your plant in your backpack…” If you’re facing this issue, you’re not alone—and the good news is there’s a simple fix you can try right now. Check out our Other Guide for the Grow a Garden games!
What Causes the Angry Plant Bug?
According to one of the game’s developers, this error message is the result of a temporary bug. It seems to occur when attempting to feed the Angry Plant in a public server. The game may incorrectly think you’re trying to hide your plant instead of offering it. This bug prevents you from interacting with the Angry Plant as intended, and can block your progress or daily tasks.
How to Fix the Angry Plant Error
To resolve the issue, follow this step:
- Join a Private Server
The developer has confirmed that joining a private server can bypass the bug completely. Here’s how:
- From the Roblox game page, scroll down and look for the Servers tab.
- Click Create Private Server (it’s free in many games, or costs a small amount of Robux).
- Name your server and click Create.
- Join the private server you just created.
- Try feeding the Angry Plant again — the error should no longer appear.
This workaround has been successful for many players and is currently the best available solution while the developers work on an official fix.
What If It Still Doesn’t Work?
If the private server method doesn’t solve the issue, it likely means the developers haven’t fully patched the bug yet. In this case:
- Wait for an official update or bug fix from the dev team.
- Follow the game on Roblox or join the community Discord to stay informed about upcoming patches.
The “Angry Plant stares” bug in Grow a Garden can be frustrating, but it’s a known issue with a fairly easy workaround. Until the developers release a full patch, your best option is to use a private server when feeding the Angry Plant.
