The Beanstalk Event adds fresh mutation mechanics that change how you manage and boost your garden. This guide covers every new mutation tied to the event, how you can get them, and simple strategies to make the most of each one. Read the quick overview, then use the tips to stack mutations faster and smarter.
All New mutations introduced by the Beanstalk Event
1. Bloom
Source: Spriggan (Overgrowth passive) and Mutation Spray: Bloom.
What it does: Bloom is an event mutation that can appear on multiple nearby fruits when Spriggan’s roots trigger. It’s useful for players who want higher mutation coverage across a cluster of plants.
2. Fortune
Source: Golden Goose — lays a Golden Egg plant that starts with Fortune; selling that plant can apply Fortune to a random fruit in your garden.
What it does: Fortune is tied to luck/bonus outcomes for plants (Golden Egg production and spreading Fortune on sale). It’s valuable for getting better harvest benefits or improved outcomes from the plant.
3. Sandy
Source: Jackalope — every ~100 seconds it has a chance (~15%) to mutate a nearby fruit into Sandy.
What it does: Sandy is a direct fruit mutation Jackalope creates. Use it when you want quick mutation coverage without sprays.
Useful mechanics that interact with mutations
- Golem speeds up the mutation machine. Every 5 minutes it advances the mutation machine timer by 61 seconds. This shortens cycle times for machine-based mutations.
- Sapling swaps mutations between two random fruits (ignores favorited fruits). Use Sapling to move a rare mutation onto your best crop.
- Mutation Spray: Bloom — a direct way to add Bloom to one plant; handy when you need guaranteed results.
- Golden Egg plants: treat them as mutation carriers. They can be harvested and may spread Fortune when sold.
Practical setups and tips
- Mutation farm cluster Put Spriggan in the center of a fruit cluster so Bloom has better reach. Add Jackalope on the side to push Sandy on any misses.
- Speed-and-swap combo Use Golem to speed machine results while you rely on Sapling to swap top-tier mutations onto high-value fruits.
- Fortune spread plan Hatch a Golden Goose and let it produce Golden Eggs. Sell one or two to try to spread Fortune across the garden.
- Protect favorites Sapling ignores favorited plants, so favorite a plant only when you want to protect it from swaps.
- Stockpile Sprout Eggs Most mutation-focused pets come from Sprout Eggs. Save event currency for eggs to increase your chances of getting pets like Golden Goose, Jackalope, Sapling, and Golem.

The Beanstalk Event brings mutations that change how you farm and mutate fruits. Bloom, Fortune, and Sandy each serve different goals: wide-area mutation (Bloom), high-value luck boosts (Fortune), and steady auto-mutation (Sandy). Combine pets and tools—Spriggan, Golden Goose, Jackalope, Sapling, Golem, and sprays—to craft a reliable mutation setup that fits your playstyle.
