  • The other way to get Gold Seedlings was by completing missions. There were a total of 20 missions, each requiring some basic task to complete, and each one was unlocked after completing the previous one.[8]

This event was announced on September 4th, 2022.[9]

Flower Card Decor missions

  1. Plant 1,000 white flowers
  2. Pluck 2 seedlings
  3. Defeat 3 mushrooms
  4. Plant 5,000 white flowers
  5. Walk 15,000 steps
  6. Pluck 3 seedlings
  7. Defeat 1 red mushroom
  8. Plant 5,000 red flowers
  9. Walk 20,000 steps
  10. Pluck 4 seedlings
  11. Defeat 1 yellow mushroom

There were some complications with the first mission. Initially it was to walk 10,000 steps, but no steps were counting towards it. After a few hours, it was changed to "Plant 1,000 white flowers" for people who hadn't opened the app yet, and a few hours later, people who had started the mission when it wasn't working had it automatically completed even if they hadn't walked 10,000 steps yet.[10][11][12]

Missions referring to a specific color of flowers counted all flower types of that color, not just the basic type. For example, planting white spider lily flowers or white rose flowers would count towards missions requiring the planting of white flowers.
