In addition to planting flowers while walking, you can also make Big Flowers bloom by using flower petals directly.Once the flower blooms, you will receive nectar and a postcard.
Note
- This function is available with v.106 or higher of the app.
- The number of flower petals required depends on the Big Flower's stage of growth.It takes 150 flower petals when the Big Flower is still a leaf or a bud, and 80 flower petals when it has already bloomed. (In either case, only 1 type of flower petal can be used.)
- Using flower petals on a Big Flower that has already bloomed will reward you with a postcard but no nectar.
- Using flower petals on a Big Flower that has already bloomed will not change its type.
The type of flower that blooms from a leaf or bud depends on the flower petals used. - There will be a flower sticker of the petal you used on the reward postcard.Using flower petals on a blooming Big Flower will not affect the flower in any way. The postcard, however, will still have a flower sticker of the petal you used.
- Big Flowers that were made to bloom using flower petals will return to a leaf state 23 hours later, the same as Big Flowers that bloomed via flower planting.
- You cannot send Pikmin that are already assigned to another task to a Big Flower.
