How the Caterpillar Pet Affects Leafy Plants?
Like the Grow A Garden Prickly crops and hedgehogs, Leafy crops are a category of crops affected by certain pets. In the case of Leafy crops, the Caterpillar affects their growth, causing them to grow notably faster when a Caterpillar is active.
The Caterpillar pet is essential for leafy plant farmers because:
- Growth Speed Boost: Significantly reduces growing time for all leafy plants
- Stacking Effect: Multiple Caterpillars compound the growth speed bonus
- Range: Affects all leafy plants within its radius
- Cost-Effective: One of the more affordable pets for its impact
Caterpillar Strategy Tips
- Position Caterpillars centrally in your leafy plant section
- Combine with sprinklers for maximum efficiency
- Use during 2x growth events for exponential benefits
- Keep at least 2-3 active for consistent coverage
Leafy Plants for Beanstalk Event Success
The Beanstalk event is where leafy plants truly shine. An NPC in the central event area will ask for a certain kind of crop, shown by the thought bubble hovering over his head. You can turn these crops in, and receive points towards growing the Beanstalk.
Event Strategy Guide
Point Requirements: If you’re able to get 900 Points to your Beanstalk, it will grow, allowing you to ascend to pick up some rewards, and visit the giant NPC in the clouds at the top for a shot at buying some rare items from the event shop.
Optimal Plant Mix:
- 40% High-tier plants (Beanstalk, Romanesco, Sugar Apple)
- 30% Mid-tier plants (Mango, Grape, Sunflower)
- 30% Quick-growing low-tier (Strawberry, Blueberry)
Timing Tips: The type of plant the NPC is looking for changes every hour. You cannot submit crops in the cooldown period after the Beanstalk grows.
