Plant Family (PvZ2)

Plant Families is a feature in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Plants are divided into families which are mostly there to indicate which plant is influenced by which Power Mint. A colored circle with the appropriate family icon can be seen in the upper-left corner of seed packets.

Strategies

Whenever you plant a Power mint on the board, it'll do some damage or affect the zombies, then boost the plants on the lawn that are members of the appropriate family. Boosting plants will increase their damage, toughness and/or sun-producing. With Buffz & Bruisez on, you can use Power mints to boost the family that is currently having a Strong buff. Avoid using Power mints when their families are ineffective, since not even a power mint will make the plant do any damage to the zombies at all.

Trivia

  • Despite being a fire plant, Wasabi Whip is not in the Pepper-mint family.
  • Despite being an electrical plant, Magnet-Shroom is not in the Fila-mint family.
  • Despite being explosive plants, Coconut cannon and Dandelion are not in the Bombard-mint family
• Imitaters family depends on what family of the plant he imitated is.
