The Pet Mutation Shard Jumbo is a limited item added on November 3rd, 2025. It’s one of several Pet Mutation Shards, but it stands out for the unique size and growth effects it provides. When applied to a pet, this shard makes it significantly larger and grants it two major benefits:

• +50% XP boost to the pet it’s attached to
• Increased plant growth size for every nearby Safari-type plant

This means the more Safari plants you have in your garden, the more powerful the Jumbo Mutation becomes.

How to Obtain the Jumbo Mutation Shard

1. Community Milestone Reward

The shard becomes available once players reach the global milestone of 55 billion Safari Points during the Safari Harvest Event. After hitting this goal, it can be unlocked and purchased in the Safari Shop.

2. Direct Purchase (Optional)

If you don’t want to wait for the milestone, the Jumbo Mutation Shard can also be bought for 399 Sheckles (the in-game currency). Keep in mind that this shard is limited, meaning it may only be available for a short time during the event.

Visually, the Jumbo Mutation Shard has a sleek and eye-catching look. It takes the shape of a golden hexagon filled with glowing particles, giving it a radiant, magical appearance that matches its powerful effect.

Effects and Benefits

When you apply the Jumbo Mutation to a pet, here’s what happens:

• The pet’s size increases, giving it a larger and more impressive look.
• It gains a 50% XP boost, helping it level up faster than normal.
• All plants within range receive a growth size boost, scaling with the number of Safari-type plants planted nearby.

For example, planting hundreds of Safari crops can multiply your plant size up to 3x larger than usual, making it one of the most effective growth buffs in the game.

Why the Jumbo Mutation Is Worth Getting

The Jumbo Mutation is more than just a visual upgrade — it’s a serious performance boost for your pets and plants. Whether you’re aiming for faster progression or want to make your garden stand out, this shard gives you both power and style.

Because it’s limited and tied to the Safari Event, players should make sure to unlock it before the event ends. Once it’s gone, it may not return for a long time.

The Pet Mutation Shard Jumbo is a must-have for any serious Grow a Garden player. It not only gives your pet a stronger presence but also boosts XP and crop growth, making it one of the best value items from the Safari Harvest Event.

Make sure to participate in the ongoing event, hit the 55 billion milestone, and grab your Jumbo Shard before it’s gone. This mutation is one of the biggest game changers introduced so far — literally and figuratively.
