Verdant is cultivated lushness in the growth lane at ×7 — fertilizer-facing green, not an environmental humidity sticker you can bolt onto Golden.
Mutations data credits extra lush growth from fertile soil boosts. Jungle Humidity lists Verdant among bonuses, but the mutation category remains growth. Treat humidity as a possible proc context, not a conversion into env-bracket stacking.

Verdant is growth at ×7 and stackable in the catalog sense of being eligible, yet the exclusive growth group still allows only one growth mutation. It cannot share a crop with Golden (×20), Rainbow (×50), Shiny (×5), Overgrown (×5), Mega, Tiny, Radiant, or other growth IDs. Environmental tags stack separately in the env bracket on top of whichever single growth tag wins.

Verdant applies a 7× multiplier in the growth bracket. The table below shows the value it adds to a reference crop (base 50) across common harvest weights, so you can gauge how much this tag is worth before chasing it.
| Weight | Base crop value | With Verdant (7×) | Value added |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 kg | 50 | 350 | +300 |
| 2 kg | 200 | 1.4K | +1.2K |
| 5 kg | 1.25K | 8.75K | +7.5K |
| 10 kg | 5K | 35K | +30K |
If Verdant is the growth tag, growthMultiplier = 7. Golden would be 20; Rainbow 50. The formula takes the growth multiplier in play — and the conflict map prevents selecting two growth IDs at once — so Verdant never adds beside Golden as 7 + 20.
On a 5,000 base at 1 kg with no env: Verdant yields 35,000 before env; Shiny would yield 25,000. Useful mid-band growth, still a step below Golden for trade crops.
Jungle Humidity mentioning Verdant does not make Verdant environmental. Toxic (pet env) or Wet (weather env) are the tags that enter envBracket. Confusing those lanes is how players invent illegal Golden + Verdant stacks.
Upgrade pressure is real: once Golden or Rainbow is realistic, holding Verdant on a high-base seed is opportunity cost, not a second multiplier layer.
