The Hypno Bloom is one of the most unique defensive plants in Grow a Garden 2. Unlike crops that exist solely to produce valuable fruit, this Super-tier plant can actively interfere with players who enter your garden by temporarily taking control of their movement.
If you’re looking to protect your crops while still earning a steady income, here’s everything you need to know about the Hypno Bloom.
What Does Hypno Bloom Do?
The Hypno Bloom automatically activates whenever it detects an intruder near your garden.
Once triggered, it hypnotizes the nearby player, causing them to temporarily lose control of their character for around 3 to 4 seconds. During this time, the affected player is forced to walk in the direction the Hypno Bloom’s fruit is facing, often leading them away from valuable crops.
According to the in-game news log, the Hypno Bloom is specifically designed to defend gardens by controlling intruders. It joins other defensive plants like Dragon’s Breath and Venom Spitter, which also help protect your farm from unwanted visitors.
How the Hypnosis Effect Works
The hypnosis effect appears to originate from the fruit itself. When activated, the fruit emits blue and purple pulses that spread outward before taking control of nearby players.
From the victim’s perspective:
- A notification appears stating they have been hypnotized.
- Purple and blue visual effects surround the edges of the screen.
- Their character automatically moves without player input for several seconds.
The ability only works while the plant has fully grown fruit. If the fruit has been harvested or hasn’t finished growing, the Hypno Bloom cannot activate its defensive effect.
At the moment, the ability does not appear to have a visible cooldown, allowing it to activate repeatedly whenever its conditions are met.
Best Placement for Hypno Bloom
Positioning is important if you want to get the most value from the Hypno Bloom.
Some of the best placements include:
- Along the outer edges of your garden, with the fruit facing away from your crops.
- Near entrances where other players are likely to walk.
- Beside a Dragon’s Breath plant so hypnotized players are guided directly toward its attacks.
Carefully rotating the plant before placing it can make its hypnosis effect much more effective.
How to Get Hypno Bloom
You can obtain a Hypno Bloom Seed through several methods:
- Purchase it from the Seed Stand.
- Buy it from the Auctioneer.
- Receive it from planting Gold Seeds, Rainbow Seeds, or Mega Seeds (very rare).
Hypno Bloom Seed Stats
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Tier | Super |
| Seed Stand Price | 90 Million Sheckles or 1,599 Robux |
| Auction Price | Usually over 150 Million Sheckles |
| Stock Chance | 0.275% |
| Minimum Fruit Value | 8,574 Sheckles |
Because of its extremely low stock rate, the Hypno Bloom is one of the rarer seeds available from the Seed Stand.
Growth Time and Harvest
After planting the seed, the Hypno Bloom requires 23 minutes and 20 seconds to mature.
It is a multi-harvest crop, meaning you only need to plant it once.
Each harvest cycle works as follows:
- Growth time: 23 minutes 20 seconds
- Fruit regrowth: 5 minutes 30 seconds
- Fruits per harvest: 2
Since the plant continually produces fruit, it can generate a steady income over time while also protecting your garden.
Is Hypno Bloom Profitable?
The Hypno Bloom produces fruit weighing roughly 9 kilograms on average.
Each fruit typically sells for around 9,500 Sheckles, giving players approximately 19,000 Sheckles per harvest before any mutation bonuses or price modifiers are applied.
Keep in mind that crop prices fluctuate based on the Fruit Price Stock, which updates every five minutes. Waiting until the multiplier reaches x1 or higher can significantly increase your profits.
Is Hypno Bloom Worth Using?
The Hypno Bloom offers more than just valuable fruit. Its hypnosis ability makes it one of the best defensive plants in Grow a Garden 2, temporarily forcing intruders away from important areas of your farm. Combined with its multi-harvest nature and respectable selling price, it’s a valuable addition for players who want both passive income and extra protection for their gardens.
