Grow a Garden’s Zen Update introduces a new method to cultivate the Zen Tree, requiring players to collect and exchange Serenity Flora with the Zen Channeler. Progress unlocks exclusive rewards like the Zen Egg, featuring novel companions. Chi, a premium currency, can also be acquired via Robux purchases. The update reintroduces pet trading and expands save slot functionality.
Understanding Zen Aura Mechanics
Hourly events lasting ten minutes trigger a Serenity Transformation in garden fruits. Visual indicators include azure trails from the Channeler and subtle Kanji animations surrounding mutated plants. Altered coloration helps identify affected flora.
Optimizing Serenity Flora Usage
Players face dual options for transformed plants:
- Cultivate the arboreal centerpiece
- Exchange for premium currency at the specialist vendor
Prioritizing tree development yields progressive unlocks during seven growth phases.
