✅ Since v1.2.0, ripening progresses both online and offline — no need to stay on the server.
How It Works
Lush is the single biggest value driver in Garden Horizons. The 3× multiplier is multiplicative with your entire mutation sum — a plant with 11× in mutations (Shocked 4.5 + Starstruck 6.5) becomes 33× at Lush, not 14×. This difference grows with every Shilling in base price: a Cabbage base of ≈33,333 × 11 × 3 = over 1.1 million Shillings.
Since the v1.2.0 Console Update, Lush ripening progresses both online AND offline. You no longer need to stay on the server — just plant, wait, and harvest when ready. Protect valuable plants with the Favoriting Tool to avoid accidental harvesting.
Value Examples
| Plant / Scenario | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 🍑Plum (34.5 min base) | 34.5 × 7.2 = | ~248 min online |
| 🥬Cabbage Lush (no mutations) | ~33,333 × 3× | ~1,000,000 💰 |
| 🥕Carrot + Shocked(4.5) + Starstruck(6.5) → 11× · Lush | 30 × 11 × 3 | 990 💰 |
| 🍠Beetroot + 11× mutations · Lush | 3,750 × 11 × 3 | 123,750 💰 |
Formula Context
Mutations are additive (summed first). Variant Sum = ripening multiplier + color bonus (both additive within their category, then the whole sum multiplies the result).
Strategy
The Favoriting Tool (80,000 💰 from Molly) is mandatory for any Lush plant worth keeping. The golden star is only visible when holding the tool, but the protection stays active even when you switch items.
