How to Get Volcano Event & Molten Mutation in Grow a Garden!

One of the most valuable crop mutations in Grow a Garden is the Molten Mutation, and it comes from a very rare event called the Volcano Event. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how this event works, how to get it, and why the Molten Mutation is worth chasing. Also check out our Grow a Garden Codes & Grow a Garden Animals Tier List.

What is the Volcano Event?

The Volcano Event is a special weather event that doesn’t spawn randomly like others. Instead, it’s an admin-only weather triggered manually—usually by the developer or admins like Jandel—and typically happens around big updates. When this volcano appears on the map, it causes a fiery eruption effect, and any fruit or crop in your garden during this time may receive the Molten Mutation.

How to Get the Molten Mutation

To get the Molten Mutation, here’s what you need to know:

1. Be Online During the Volcano Event Since it only appears when spawned by admins, you’ll need to be in-game during major updates or when announced in community channels.
2. Have Crops Ready to Mutate Keep crops planted and near harvest when a volcano hits. The event will automatically affect some of the fruits with the molten effect.
3. Look for the Mutation Tag If successful, your plant will be tagged with the Molten Mutation, which is visible in the item description.

Why Molten Mutation is So Valuable

The Molten Mutation offers one of the highest multipliers in the game, ranging between 40x to 60x the regular value of your crop. For example:

• A Candy Blossom with a Molten Mutation weighing 16kg was recently valued at around 75 million coins.
• This makes the Molten variant one of the best for profit, especially if you’re farming for high-value crops.

Using the Grow a Garden calculator, players have confirmed that the mutation can boost even average crops into massive value territory.

Tips to Maximize Your Chances

• Join Official Update Events: These are the most likely times the volcano will appear.
• Farm High-Yield Crops: Focus on crops like Candy Blossom, which give great returns when mutated.
• Stay Informed: Watch for announcements from the devs, especially during weekends or new patch releases.
• Keep Sprinklers and Boosts Active: Prepare your garden ahead of time to maximize the value of molten-mutated crops.

While you can’t manually trigger the Volcano Event, knowing when it usually happens and being prepared can set you up for massive profits. The Molten Mutation is among the most powerful in the game—transforming regular crops into multi-million coin harvests. Stay online during updates, keep crops planted, and watch for that fiery volcano—it might just land you one of the most valuable items in Grow a Garden.
