What favoriting does in Grow a Garden 2
The Favorite feature acts as a protection lock for valuable fruits. When a fruit is favorited, a heart icon appears above it, preventing accidental sales or unwanted inventory actions. This is especially useful for rare mutation fruits, event crops, and high-value harvests.
How to favorite a fruit
Step 1: Select the fruit you want to protect
Find the valuable fruit in your garden, inventory, or hotbar. Rare mutation fruits and event crops are usually the best candidates for favoriting before harvesting or selling.
Step 2: Use the favorite command
On PC, right-click the fruit. On mobile, double-tap the fruit. If you’re using the Favorite Tool, equip it and click the fruit. A heart icon should immediately appear.
Step 3: Confirm the heart icon
Check that a heart symbol is visible on the fruit. This confirms the fruit is now protected and marked as a favorite.
How to unfavorite a fruit
Step 1: Locate the favorited fruit
Find the fruit displaying the heart icon. If you have multiple identical fruits, zoom in and identify the exact one you want to unlock.
Step 2: Use the same favorite action again
On PC, right-click the favorited fruit again. On mobile, double-tap it again. If using the Favorite Tool, equip the tool and click the fruit once more. The heart icon should disappear.
Step 3: Verify the heart is gone
Once the heart icon disappears, the fruit is no longer protected and can be sold, harvested, traded, or used normally.
Common problems and fixes
Heart won’t disappear
If the fruit stays favorited:
- Re-equip the Favorite Tool and try again.
- Leave the server and rejoin.
- Test in a different server.
- Wait for a game update if a known bug is affecting favorites.
Favorite feature not working
Some updates have caused temporary issues where favoriting doesn’t function correctly.
- Restart the game completely.
- Join a new server.
- Check whether the feature has been temporarily bugged after a recent update.
Accidentally favorited multiple fruits
If several fruits were marked by mistake:
- Unfavorite them individually.
- Use the Favorite Tool on each fruit one at a time.
- Be careful around clustered crops, as identical fruits can be difficult to distinguish.
Best fruits to favorite
| Fruit Type | Should You Favorite It? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Mutation Fruits | Yes | Often worth much more than normal crops |
| Event Fruits | Yes | Limited-time and difficult to replace |
| Huge/Giant Fruits | Yes | High selling value |
| Rainbow/Golden Variants | Yes | Extremely rare |
| Common Crops | Usually No | Easily replaceable |
Mistakes to avoid
- Favoriting common crops and wasting Favorite Tool charges.
- Forgetting which fruit was favorited in a large cluster.
- Assuming a bugged favorite state means the fruit is permanently locked.
- Selling inventory before checking which fruits have heart icons.
- Using valuable mutation fruits without first protecting them.
The Favorite system is one of the best quality-of-life features in Grow a Garden 2 because it protects rare and expensive fruits from accidental loss. If you’re collecting mutation crops, giant fruits, or event harvests, keeping them favorited can save millions of Sheckles worth of value over time.
