Grow a Garden: All 73 Prickly Plants for Archeologist Archie

In Grow a Garden, Archeologist Archie runs the Ancient Archaeology dig site for the Anubis event. He asks for one of 12 plant traits at a time, and Prickly is one of them. Any plant with the Prickly trait counts, even if it also carries other traits.

Quick answer: Buy Wraproot for 60 Anubis Coins at Trader Tina, which is the cheapest Prickly plant. Cactus (15,000¢) and Dragon Fruit (50,000¢) are the cheapest Prickly seeds in Sam’s Seed Shop.

Where to buy Prickly seeds

Prickly seeds come from two shops. Sam’s Seed Shop sells them for Sheckles. Trader Tina’s Anubis Coin Shop sells the event seeds for Anubis Coins.

Wraproot, Anubis Bramble and Pharaoh’s Eye are all new Anubis event plants with the Prickly trait. Pharaoh’s Eye only shows up in the Anubis Coin Shop after 10 excavations. Anubis Bramble is a limited seed, and its card in Sam’s Seed Shop carries a “Limited!” tag. Cactus and Dragon Fruit can sell out, in which case their cards read “X0 Stock” and “NO STOCK”.

How to buy and grow Wraproot

Wraproot is the easiest way into the Prickly trait, and it also counts as a Root plant. That means one plant covers two of Archie’s requests. To get it, open Grow a Garden on Roblox and head to Trader Tina’s stall next to Archie’s dig site.

Walk up to Trader Tina and press E. Pick “What do you have for sale?” to open the Anubis Coin Shop.

Find the Wraproot card, which is marked Uncommon. Press the green button that shows 60 Anubis Coins. The card shows how many are left, such as “X2 Stock”. The purple button charges Robux instead, and “RESTOCK: 1B¢” refills the shop for a billion Sheckles. You don’t need either one.

Plant the seed in your garden. Wraproot grows into a large plant, and a timer such as “15m 1s” appears after planting.

When the fruit is ready, walk up to it and press E on the “Collect” prompt. The fruit goes into your inventory with its weight in the name, for example “Wraproot [2.17kg]”.

A single Wraproot fruit usually weighs over 2 kg, so handing over one or two can fill much of Archie’s bar during a Prickly or Root turn. Save one in your backpack for when his bubble requests Prickly.

How to give Prickly plants to Archeologist Archie

At the Ancient Archaeology dig site, Archie is in the sandy area west of the market, immediately beside Trader Tina. His thought bubble displays the trait he is after, while the countdown above it indicates when the request will switch. The trait rotates among 12 options every 30 minutes:

Berry, Fruit, Flower, Vegetable
Tropical, Prickly, Woody, Leafy
Stalky, Root, Sweet, Sour

When it’s Prickly’s turn, the bubble reads “Looking for Prickly plants!” and his board shows the reward and your progress, such as “Next Reward: 1x Anubis Crate” and “2.54kg/8kg”. Only harvested fruit counts, and progress is measured by weight, not by how many fruit you hand over.

Wait for Archie’s bubble to ask for Prickly plants. Make sure you’re carrying Prickly fruit you’ve already picked.

Press E on Archie to open his menu. It lists “Who are you?”, “Take this plant”, “Submit All”, “Skip Submission” and “Nevermind”.

Archie's menu: Who are you, Take this plant, Submit All, Skip Submission, Nevermind — Archie's menu while holding a fruit

Choose “Take this plant” to hand over the fruit in your hand. Choose “Submit All” instead to hand over every matching fruit you carry. “Skip Submission” is a paid option and isn’t needed.

Check the message and the board. A hand-in shows the weight added and your new total in a message like “+0.37kg of Berry plants! (3.83kg/8kg)”, with Prickly in place of the trait name.

Hand-in message +0.37kg of Berry plants 3.83kg/8kg — The hand-in message format, here on a Berry turn: "+0.37kg of Berry plants! (3.83kg/8kg)"

Your first find needs 8 kg and pays out 1x Anubis Crate. After that, the board switches to “1x Hieroglyphic Radar” with a fresh “0kg/12kg” target.
