This article is a comprehensive guide on this pet, covering its passives and acquisition process in Grow a Garden.
What does the Orchid Mantis do in Grow a Garden?
The Orchid Mantis is a Divine rarity critter that looks identical to the Praying Mantis pet. It has a unique ability that makes it the best pet to acquire in this update:
Orchid Zone: It prays for a fixed duration at regular intervals, and every second, a nearby fruit has a chance to obtain the Floral mutation. Moreover, fruit that already has the Floral mutation will turn Gold, and Gold fruits with the Floral mutation will turn to Rainbow.
This ability will come in handy for rarer plants in your garden, which yield more Sheckles when sold. Besides, it is a solid way of getting Rainbow variants without sweating at all.
