Wiki passive: Leaf lover passive : Leafy Plants grow 1.5x-2.5x faster.

This is an always-on passive, so there is no cooldown to track. Like other pets, its stats scale with weight. Pet mutations can boost it further — see the pet mutations list.

⚖️ How much does a Caterpillar weigh?

There's no fixed weight for the species. Each Caterpillar hatches at its own Age-1 weight, and every age adds one-eleventh of it:

Weight = Age-1 weight × (Age + 10) ÷ 11

So a Caterpillar that hatched at 1.00 kg weighs 10 kg at age 100 and about 46.4 kg at age 500. Enter your own pet's kg and age in the pet KG calculator; for the XP each age costs, use the age calculator.
