Grow a Garden has released a new game-changing update, and you can now upgrade your adorable pets with mutations. Not only that, the game introduces a new kind of item, exclusive for the pets— toys and treats. So, if you’re curious about how these new items are going to affect your pets in the game, we are here to help. We have compiled a list of all the pet treats in Grow a Garden, complete with their price and uses.

List of All Grow a Garden Pet Treats

In Grow a Garden, you can find pet treats and toys either at the Gear Shop or the crafting stations. While crafting them provides some basic boosts for your pets, the Gear Shop currently holds toys and treats that can rapidly boost your pets XP and passives.

With that in mind, check out the table below to know about every pet treat and toy’s stats:

With the Pet Mutations update, Grow a Garden has introduced a stunning new Divine plant called Grand Volcania. The seed already looks impressive, but its beauty multiplies once fully grown. On top of that, this crop has a high selling price as well. So, here’s how you can get the Grand Volcania seed in Grow a Garden, along with its buy and sell values.

Ingredients You Need to Craft Grand Volcania Seed

Before you can craft the Grand Volcania seed, you will need a few valuable ingredients in Grow a Garden. While some of them are easy to acquire, others take some solid grinding. That said, here is the list of ingredients you will need to get this new Divine seed in Grow a Garden:

How to Get Grand Volcania Seed in Grow a Garden

Once you have collected all the ingredients, simply follow the steps below to make Grand Volcania seeds in Grow a Garden:

• Go to the crafting station beside the cosmetics shop.
• Press the ‘E’ key on the keyboard to access the seed crafting station.
• Select Grand Volcania from the list and click the green Craft button.
• Hold the required items in your hand and submit them to the crafting station.
• Then, use 900k Sheckles to start the crafting process and the timer.
• Once the timer ends, you need to press the ‘E’ key to claim the seed.

Rarity	Divine
Drop Rate	N/A (obtained via crafting)
Purchase Value	2 Ember Lily, 1 Ancient Seed Pack, 1 Dinosaur Egg, and 900k Sheckles
Avg. Sell Value	80,000 Sheckles

Once you plant a Grand Volcania, it grows similarly to Ember Lily, but instead of the amber red and gold, it glows pink and purple. And when the flower grows, it emits a beautiful neon purple light from its center.

Moreover, unlike the one-time harvest from Ember Lily, this plant grows three flowers at once. This means you have a good scope of making money through one plant.

Moreover, the Grand Volcania flower is no slouch when it comes to money. In our testing, the Grand Volcania fruit has an average selling price of around 80,000 Sheckles. The only issue is that you must use a Dinosaur egg and an Ancient Seed pack to craft it. So, I suggest you craft one of them and not waste your eggs and seed packs on it.

Also, don’t forget to use Grow a Garden gears, such as Master or Goldy sprinklers, to increase the size and weight of your fruits. This will further help increase the selling value of your fruit. So, are you excited to cover your garden in beautiful Grand Volcania flowers?

The Pet Mutations update in Grow a Garden introduces four new craftable seeds, but the highlight is a brand-new prismatic seed in the regular Seed Shop. It is the Giant Pinecone, a Prismatic-tier plant that can grow massive pinecone fruits. Unlike most ultra-rare crops, it’s pretty average in both looks and selling price. Still, it’s a solid pickup for collectors or players looking to complete their challenge to gather all plants in the game. In this guide, learn how to obtain the Giant Pinecone seed in Grow a Garden, along with its stats and sell value.

How to Get Giant Pinecone Seed in Grow a Garden

Giant Pinecone is a Prismatic tier seed and the latest addition to the Grow a Garden seeds list. As there are a few limited plants in this elite tier, the Giant Pinecone is a fresh gem for collectors.

If you want the Giant Pinecone seed, head to the Seed Shop and get ready to spend 55,000,000 Sheckles. If you want the seed instantly, you can buy it for 929 Robux using real-world money.

We don’t recommend spending Robux, but getting one seed in the stock can be difficult. Keep in mind, the Giant Pinecone is a multi-harvest Prismatic seed, like the Beanstalk and Sugar Apple, so it’s not always in stock. It only has a 0.03% chance to be in stock, and the shop refreshes every 5 minutes.

So, only spend the money if you are not up for the wait and skip the grind to buy the Giant Pinecone seed. However, we suggest you join the Grow a Garden Discord server and follow the stock channel. From there, you will find links to dedicated stock-tracking servers that alert you whenever the shop updates.

Although the seed can’t be unlocked without purchasing it directly, there’s a clever workaround to get the Giant Pinecone in the game. The Red Fox and Raccoon are two effective pets in Grow a Garden that have a small chance to copy and steal the fruit from other players’ gardens. The only catch is that someone on your server must already have that specific plant growing for your pet to copy it.

With the game already adding a high-value fruit like the Bone Blossom with the Prehistoric update, I’m a bit disappointed with this Prismatic seed. Don’t get me wrong; the name Giant Pinecone seed sounds fun and promising, but the value it offers is far from giant. So, should you purchase it? The short answer is no.

If you check the stats above, Giant Pinecone is listed as a top-tier crop in Grow a Garden, but it doesn’t justify its high cost or its tier. Its average selling price is around 65,000 Sheckles, and that’s not impressive.

However, with the right Grow a Garden gear, you can boost the fruit’s size and increase the chances of getting a much better payout. Yes, the Giant Pinecone can grow large, and that’s when it starts to pay off. So, bring out your sprinklers and try adding some Grow a Garden mutations to your Giant Pinecone before selling it.

While it doesn’t quite compete with Candy Blossom or Bone Blossom, Giant Pinecone is still a solid alternative for players who missed the Prehistoric quest grind.

Microsoft has introduced Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning, a lightweight AI model built for scenarios with tight computing, memory, or latency limits. Designed for edge devices and mobile apps, the model aims to deliver strong reasoning abilities without demanding hardware.

Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning packs 3.8 billion parameters and builds on the Phi-4 family introduced in December, with a focus on mathematical reasoning.

At the core of the new model is an updated architecture called SambaY, now featuring a Gated Memory Unit (GMU) and “differential attention.” Traditional transformers rely on complex attention in every layer to decide which parts of the input matter most.

The GMU streamlines this by replacing heavy cross-attention operations with a simple element-wise multiplication between the current input and a memory state from an earlier layer. This allows the model to dynamically recalibrate which tokens to focus on without the usual computational overhead.

SambaY mixes several attention mechanisms: a single full-attention layer creates a key-value cache that later layers can access, while GMUs take the place of about half the cross-attention layers, letting layers share information through lightweight multiplications. This approach slashes both memory use and compute requirements. In typical models, data transfers between memory and processor climb as sequence length grows, but with SambaY, this remains mostly flat.

A new architecture for more efficient reasoning

These architectural changes bring a significant boost in performance. Microsoft says Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning delivers up to ten times higher throughput and cuts average latency by a factor of two to three compared to its predecessor. However, these results are based on tests with industrial GPUs, not the low-resource devices the model is meant for.

Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning also excels at handling long contexts. The model supports a context window of up to 64,000 tokens and can maintain its speed and performance even at maximum capacity. Microsoft cites the efficiency of the SambaY design, which keeps processing speeds steady even as sequence length increases—a clear advantage over standard transformer models that tend to slow down in these scenarios.

Outperforming larger models in reasoning benchmarks

The flash version stands out in benchmarks. Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning was trained on five trillion tokens from the same data as Phi-4-mini, including synthetic data, using 1,000 A100 GPUs over 14 days.

In testing, it consistently beat the base model, especially on knowledge-intensive and programming tasks, with performance gains of several percentage points. The model also did better in math and scientific reasoning, all without the resource-heavy reinforcement learning step used in previous versions.

Phi-4-mini-flash-reasoning is available on Hugging Face, and Microsoft has released code examples in the Phi Cookbook. The full training codebase is open-sourced on GitHub.
