What Is the Spice Spritzer Sprinkler?

The Spice Spritzer Sprinkler is a specialized sprinkler that, when placed, greatly increases the chance of getting golden and rainbow variants for a specific group of crops. More specifically, it boosts the variant mutation rate for:

• Pepper
• Cacao
• Papaya

The effect lasts for 2.5 minutes after activation. During that time, any of these crops planted and harvested near the sprinkler have a higher chance of turning into valuable Golden or Rainbow variants.

How to Get the Spice Spritzer Sprinkler

To obtain the sprinkler, follow these steps:

1. Head to the Crafting Bench You’ll need to unlock the Spice Spritzer Sprinkler recipe. This was introduced in the Working Bee update.
2. Collect the Materials The recipe will usually require items like: Ember Lily, Pepper, Master Sprinkler!
3. Craft It Once you have the ingredients, craft the sprinkler at either of the two crafting benches.

How to Use the Spice Spritzer Sprinkler

Here’s how to activate it properly:

1. Place the Sprinkler Near the Crops Position it where your Pepper, Cacao, or Papaya crops are planted.
2. Plant the Right Seeds For the effect to work, make sure you’re planting only the supported seed types.
3. Time Your Harvest The effect lasts 2.5 minutes, so plant and harvest within that window for the best chance of triggering a golden or rainbow variant.
4. Check for Variants After harvesting, check your fruit storage or hover over the fruit to see if it’s been upgraded to a variant.

Is It Worth Using?

The Spice Spritzer Sprinkler does increase your odds, but it doesn’t guarantee variant fruits every time. Some players may not see results on their first try—timing, placement, and crop type matter. In testing, some cacao crops showed no immediate results, while others over time did produce golden and rainbow variants, which are significantly more valuable than regular fruits.

Tips for Better Results

• Stack the Effect: Try placing more than one sprinkler if you’re farming on a larger plot.
• Use High-Yield Crops: Maximize your chances by planting multiple peppers, papayas, or cacaos at once.
• Replant Quickly: Since the effect is time-limited, keep planting and harvesting within the 2.5-minute window.

The Spice Spritzer Sprinkler is a solid tool if you’re focusing on crops like pepper, cacao, or papaya and want better chances at pulling in golden and rainbow variants. While it’s not a guaranteed win, with the right setup and timing, it can definitely boost your garden’s value. If you’re serious about variant farming, keep a few of these crafted and ready—especially during big harvest sessions in Grow a Garden!
