How to Make Pikmin Flowers Bloom

Make Pikmin flowers bloom by giving them nectar, using an Ultra-Spicy Spray, or by leaving them buried in the ground. Learn ways on how to make Pikmin flowers bloom, as well as how to efficiently grow flowers.

How to Make Pikmin Flowers Bloom

Give Nectar to Pikmin

Nectar is the primary way to make Pikmin flowers bloom. Sending Pikmin with leaves or buds to nectar will cause the flowers to appear, speeding up their movements.

How to Get Nectar

Use Ultra-Spicy Spray

Using the Ultra-Spicy Spray will instantly cause all your Pikmin to bloom flowers if they don't have them already. You can get more of this item by collecting red nectar or red berries.

Ultra-Spicy Spray Uses and How to Get

Leave Pikmin Buried in the Ground

If you leave Pikmin unplucked for a while, they'll eventually grow flowers on their own. However, this method takes a long time and reduces the number of Pikmin you can field.

If you want your Pikmin to bloom flowers this way, you can create Pikmin at the Rescue Command Post and wait until the flowers grow since there's no time limit.

How to Efficiently Grow Flowers

Gather Ultra-Spicy Berries

The fastest way to grow flowers is by using the Ultra-Spicy Spray. The best way to get more of these is by having 10 Pikmin collect the red ultra-spicy berries from Burgeoning Spiderworts. Each area has a base near these berries, so you can stock up on the spray to bloom flowers quickly!

Red Berry Locations

Area	Nearest Base
Sun-Speckled Terrace	2. Rugged Scaffold (Requires Blue Pikmin or 30 Ice Pikmin)
Blossoming Arcadia	2. Sunwashed Plateau
Serene Shores	2. Water's Edge
Hero's Hideaway	3. Foot of the Stairs
Giant's Hearth	3. The Central Flame
Primordial Thicket	3. The Maple Bridge

Defeat Frozen Enemies for Nectar

Beating frozen enemies drops either nectar or the red nectar. Bringing along Ice Pikmin and using Oatchi's rush is a great way to quickly freeze creatures and beat them for nectar to grow your Pikmin's flowers.
