Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted: Enlightened Achievement
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: :/ Edit: I never try to replay the 10th level of each stage because I find it more annoying than useful, I mean even if the drop rate is insane, after 4/5 times of see the same conveyor belt I would go crazy honeslty.
What you need to know
Obtaining all Zen Garden plants for the Enlightened achievement requires a massive amount of grinding, and there is no confirmed fix or easy shortcut to speed up the process. Players have experimented with various modes like RIP mode, Vasebreaker, and I, Zombie, though drop rates in those modes can feel inconsistent or nonexistent for some. Survival Endless mode yields reliable data for plant drops as you progress through higher waves.
Step by step
- Choose a game mode to farm for plants. You can replay the campaign in RIP mode, play Vasebreaker or I, Zombie, or tackle Survival Endless.
- Play through the chosen mode to reach high waves or stages, keeping in mind that some players find replaying the tenth level of each stage tedious due to the repetitive conveyor belt.
- Continue playing into higher waves if you choose Survival Endless, as drop rates and data show that intensive zombie waves yield consistent plant drops over time.
- Keep playing and grinding until you finally acquire your missing plants and unlock the achievement.
Tips
- Expect a significant time commitment, as getting the final plants can require pushing into very high endless waves like wave 389.
- Avoid endlessly replaying the tenth level of stages if you find the conveyor belt setup too frustrating.
- Treat alternative modes like Vasebreaker and I, Zombie with caution for farming, as their drop rates can vary heavily depending on your experience.

Anyone have any tips on obtaining all the Zen Garden plants that doesn't require hours upon hours of grinding?
What players suggest
Yeah i agree is just pure grinding. Here my findings: - RIP mode have a decent drop rate, if you ok with replay campain over and over (I honestly prefer not to lol); - Both Vasebreaker and I zombie may drop a plant after a certain wave passed, but honeslty I find it pretty inconsistent, Ive seen some people say their drop rate is pretty "high", for me personally is almost non existant; -…
Edit: I played until wave 300 in Survival Day endless, I still not got my last plant (the goshdarn Starfruit), but I got some juicy data. So, from 200 to 300, the plant x flag drop lowered to a whopping 3.7, so the more we go on, is safe to assume that we get plants even faster. There is an absurd amount of zombies, thats the reason. I will continue to play and get this data updated until I get…
Last update: I finally got my achievement so Im not sure I will continue my 50 flags daily grind in the next weeks lol I need some rest and probabily an asylum XD Anyway, I got my last plant at wave 389, so I continued play until wave 400, just to get the math clean. This is how the game behaved from 300 to 400: Flag RangePlants FoundFlagsAverage36 → 10013641 plant every ~4.92 flags101 →…
