Roblox Grow a Garden Tranquil Plants are a core feature of the Zen Event, offering high-value rewards, Chi currency, and unique mutations. Whether you're a casual gardener or an advanced farmer, mastering tranquil plants is key to long-term success and progression in Grow a Garden.

In this Grow a Garden guide, we’ll break down how tranquil plants work, how to get them, and why they matter—plus tips to maximize your Zen Event farming results.

What are tranquil plants in Roblox Grow a Garden?

In Roblox Grow a Garden, Tranquil Plants are special versions of regular crops that mutate during the Zen Event. These plants are visually distinct, surrounded by a soft white glow and floating spiritual symbols (Kanji). Once transformed, they’re worth 20× more than their base version, making them one of the most valuable resources in the game.

How to get tranquil plants in Grow a Garden

There are two primary ways to obtain Tranquil Plants in Roblox Grow a Garden:

1. Zen Aura Events

• Triggers every hour on the dot and lasts 10 minutes.
• Plants within the Zen Aura zone have a chance to mutate.
• Up to 18 tranquil mutations per event (one every ~30 seconds).
• Most effective if you plant high-value crops within the aura zone in advance.

2. Tranquil Pet Mutation

• Tanchozuru Pet: Has a ~5% chance every 10 minutes to mutate a plant.
• Tranquil Shard Upgrade: Grants any pet the ability to tranquilize crops every ~24 minutes.

Combine both methods for maximum results, attend hourly Zen events while keeping mutation-capable pets active in your garden.

Best plants to mutate into tranquil form

Tranquil mutations can happen to nearly all plant rarities except for Transcendent. Here’s a breakdown of top crops for tranquil farming:

• Common to rare:
  • Carrot, Strawberry, Blueberry
  • Orange Tulip, Corn, Tomato, Raspberry
• Legendary to Prismatic:
  • Apple, Bamboo, Watermelon
  • Soft Sunshine, Beanstalk, Ember Lily
• Mythical: Zen Rocks, Spiked Mango, Sugar Apple

Prioritize Legendary or Prismatic plants during Zen Aura events to get the most Chi and Zen Points per mutation.

3 reasons to get tranquil plants

1. Sell price multiplier: Tranquil Plants sell for 20× their original value, instantly boosting your income. If a crop has other mutations (like Gold or Rainbow), the value increases even more.
2. Zen Tree Progression: Feeding Tranquil Plants to the Zen Channeller grows the Zen Tree, which unlocks exclusive seeds, cosmetics, and pets through seven stages.
3. Chi Currency Exchange: Trade Tranquil Plants for Chi, the premium event currency used in the Tranquil Treasures Shop. Chi lets you unlock everything from powerful pets to one-time-use tools like the Tranquil Radar.

Tranquil Treasures Shop: What you can unlock

As you progress in the Zen Event, the shop offers valuable rewards:

Tranquil Radar (18 Chi or 199 Robux): Instantly collects nearby Tranquil Plants. Useful during the event to avoid missing valuable mutations.

A closer look at the Zen Event

The Zen Event in Roblox Grow a Garden is a limited-time event where, every hour, a Zen Aura appears for 10 minutes. During this time, crops can mutate into Tranquil Plants, which are worth 20× more and can be traded to grow the Zen Tree or exchanged for Chi, a special currency used in the Zen Shop to unlock exclusive seeds, pets, and items.

How does the Zen Aura Event work

• Triggers every hour on the hour, lasting exactly 10 minutes.
• Visual cues include a transforming sky with maple-leaf motifs or pink-orange cloud cylinders, and a distinct ambient sound alert .
• A random crop receives the Tranquil mutation every 30 seconds, up to roughly 18 mutations per event.
• The mutation adds a soft glow and Japanese characters around the fruit, making it easy to identify

Zen Shop & Event Rewards

• The Tranquil Treasures Shop (Zen Shop) refreshes every hour and offers items like Zen Seed Packs, Zen Eggs, rare cosmetic crates, pets like Koi and Kitsune, and the coveted Pet Shard Tranquil
• Shop restocks can also be triggered manually using Sheckles, though purchases require Chi, not Sheckles or Robux
• Completing each Zen Tree stage unlocks new shop inventory and grants one-time rewards like seed packs, Chi, eggs, and crates

The Zen Event in Roblox Grow a Garden offers a calm experience anchored by Tranquil mutations, Zen Tree progression, and exclusive Zen-themed content. With hourly Zen Aura cycles, balanced use of both Zen and Chi currencies, and strategic plant selection, players can maximize rewards and unlock sought-after pets, seeds, and decorations.

Chi farming explained, simply 

Chi is the Zen Event currency, earned by trading Tranquil Plants to the Tanuki NPC. The amount depends on plant rarity (e.g., Prismatic = 7 Chi), with bonus Chi from Gold (+2) or Rainbow (+4) mutations.

To farm Chi fast:

• Grow high-rarity crops (Prismatic/Transcendent).
• Participate in hourly Zen Aura events (10 mins each).
• Use mutation pets (like Tanchozuru) for passive Tranquil mutations.
• Submit all Tranquil plants in bulk to the Tanuki.
• Use alt accounts to multiply your Tranquil harvest and Chi yield.

Spend Chi in the Zen Shop on exclusive seeds, pets, and tools.
