How the Sprout Studies Event Works
Head to Central Island where the Sprout Studies station allows you to submit seeds and get various rewards, including cash, gears, and characters. The Rana Scienziato NPC collects your seeds and returns them as mutated versions after a short waiting period—you don’t lose them permanently!
Each seed submission earns milestone progress. After the 5-minute timer expires, your mutated plant appears in your inventory with one of six possible mutations.

Mutation Drop Rates
Neon is the rarest mutation with a 1% drop chance, followed by Frozen at 2%. Here’s the complete breakdown:
- Abomination: Most common (new mutation type)
- Frozen: 2% drop rate
- Neon: 1% drop rate (extremely rare)
- Three additional mutation types with varying rarities
Your index now displays plant and brainrot mutations, combinations, and multipliers—perfect for planning your strategy!
