In Grow a Garden, Tranquil plants are key to participating in the Zen Event, a recurring gameplay feature that offers players the chance to collect Chi Points, unlock shop slots, and access exclusive rewards. Unlike Prehistoric Plants, Tranquil plants are not a predefined set of species - instead, they are normal crops that have undergone the Tranquil mutation during specific event windows. This guide explains how to obtain Tranquil variants, what plants are eligible, and which ones are best for maximizing your Chi Points.

What Are Tranquil Plants?

Tranquil Plants are special, mutated versions of regular crops that appear when the Zen Event is active. These plants emit a soft glow and can be used for two primary purposes:

1. Donated to the Zen Monk - This levels up the Zen Tree, unlocking more stock slots in the Zen Shop.

2. Sold to Tanuki (the merchant) - Grants you Chi Points, a currency used in the Zen Shop.

There is no specific "Tranquil Seed" - instead, Tranquil versions spawn during Zen Events on plants already growing in your garden.

How to Get Tranquil Plants

1. Wait for the Zen Event

·Occurs every 60 minutes.

·Lasts 10 minutes.

·During this time, random crops in your plot are hit by a Zen Aura, turning them Tranquil.

·The higher the tier and rarity of the crop, the more Chi it gives when mutated.

2. Use Tranquil Enhancers

·Tranquil Pet Shard: Adds passive Tranquil application by your garden pets.

·Tanchozuru: A premium bird pet that increases the chance of Tranquil mutations.

·T-Rex: Copies the Tranquil mutation onto up to three other plants.

·Triceratops: Speeds up plant growth, indirectly helping more crops mutate during events.
