The '''Burgeoning Spiderwort''' ({{j|ピキノツユクサ|Piki no Tsuyukusa|Piki Asiatic Dayflower}}) is a [[plant]] in {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}} that produces berries with the nectar that is needed to make [[Ultra-spicy spray|ultra-spicy-]] and [[ultra-bitter spray]]s. They are found in the [[Awakening Wood]], [[Perplexing Pool]], and [[Wistful Wild]] in ''Pikmin 2'', the [[Tropical Wilds]], [[Garden of Hope]], [[Distant Tundra]], and [[Twilight River]] areas in ''Pikmin 3'', and all areas in ''Pikmin 4''.


In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s can appear in their vicinity, as well as some type of [[#Mold|mold]] that shows up and keeps the plants from growing. This can be destroyed sufficiently quickly with a medium-large group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]].
{{ToDo|Point down exactly how long the berries take to regrow and such, for both games. Also, the Pikmin Wiki page claims the Pikmin can get tired of taking out the berries and give up. Confirm for both games.}}


Each plant can have up to five [[#Berry|berries]] at once. In ''Pikmin 2'', some only contain red berries, some only purple berries, and some a mix of the two. In later games, since the ultra-bitter spray does not return, only the red-berry Burgeoning Spiderworts exist.
The '''Burgeoning Spiderwort''' is a plant in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'' and ''[[Pikmin 3]]'' that produces the berries with the nectar that is needed to make [[Ultra-spicy spray|ultra-spicy-]] and [[ultra-bitter spray]]s. They are found in the [[Awakening Wood]], [[Perplexing Pool]], and [[Wistful Wild]] in ''Pikmin 2'', and the [[Tropical Wilds]], [[Garden of Hope]], [[Distant Tundra]], and [[Twilight River]] areas in ''Pikmin 3''.

=== Dalmo's notes ===
{{Transcript|This fruit, unlike a pellet, is juicy and pulpy. What's more, that's not just any juice inside it. There's a super-spicy spice in there! Eating spicy things can be a fun way to jump-start our taste buds. Perhaps the Pikmin in this world like to spice things up as well!|block=y}}


=== Olimar's notes ===
==Berries==
{{Transcript|Like the Pellet Posy, while nectar is its primary source of nutrients, this Burgeoning Spiderwort produces fruit with high amounts of a super-spicy compound. Both this plant and the Pellet Posy are part of the Pellet weed family, but the Spiderwort does not crystallize nectar because of the different fungi that parasitize its roots. Instead, it produces alkaloids that contain those extra-piquant compounds. The alkaloids are then extracted and collected by way of the plant's fruit.
The berries are small, tiny fruits that come in red or purple based on the nectar. Most Burgeoning Spiderworts regrow their berries 5 times each day, and usually right after all berries have been removed. Berries can only remain on the ground for 40 seconds, after which they burst and disappear; having a Pikmin carry them does not reset this time. In ''Pikmin 3'', those problems are gone, but if a Pikmin carrying a berry is [[whistle]]d, it will drop the berry, which will instantly disappear. If a [[Rock Pikmin]] is thrown at the center of the berries, they all fall off right away. Some Spiderworts carry only red berries, some purple, and some have berries of both types mixed. Naturally, given that the ultra-bitter spray does not return for ''Pikmin 3'', the purple and mixed berry variants are absent.


Whether or not a plant produces super-spicy or super-sweet compounds seems to depend on the type of fungus with which it interacts.|block=y}}

== Berry ==
The [[Awakening Wood]] has more Spiderworts in the region than any other area in the game. There are two Spiderworts a short walk away from the landing site, which both produce red berries. In this area, two Ravenous Whiskerpillars appear. A mold may also appear here. Due to the fact that there are two of them, and that they are so close to the landing site, this is possibly the best berry-harvesting place in ''Pikmin 2''. A player can gain about three or four sprays a day if they dedicate the day to berry harvesting.
The '''berries''' are small, tiny fruits that come in red or purple based on the nectar. They grow on top of the Burgeoning Spiderwort, and can be knocked down after the plant has been attacked enough. Once on the ground, a Pikmin can pick it up, and deliver it to the ship. 10 berries of a given type are necessary in order to concoct one additional spray.
 
New berries will show up after some time, which depends on the game. After a berry has been dropped, it can vanish, but the rules for this also depend on the game. Both of these points are elaborated [[#Gameplay mechanics|below]].
 
If there are [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s nearby, they will climb up the plant and begin eating the berries, one by one.
 
== Gameplay mechanics ==
In all games, Pikmin that are ordered to harvest a Burgeoning Spiderwort will go up to the base of the stem, climb up, and once they reach the berries, they will begin pummeling. Periodically, as damage is caused, a berry drops down.
 
Each game also has more specific rules about how the Pikmin, the plants, and the berries behave.
 
=== ''Pikmin 2'' ===
Pikmin that fall off from the top of the plant will fall in a random direction, and if they land near the base of the stem, they will climb back up and repeat the process. Otherwise, they will become idle or follow the leader, if he is nearby. This means that leaving Pikmin behind to work on the next batch of berries is not very effective, since the Pikmin will not climb up the plant automatically, and the ones that do will likely end up falling out of the stem's reach eventually. In addition, because Pikmin will not drop down of the plant until all the berries are gone, the player runs the risk of a berry falling down, no Pikmin coming down to get it for a while, and the berry disappearing.
 
In this game, berries can only remain on the ground for 40 seconds, after which they burst and disappear. Having a Pikmin carry them freezes this timer, but does not reset it. It is worth noting that the timer that ticks down how long until the next berry shows up will keep ticking if the player is in a [[treasure]] collection [[cutscene]].{{cite youtube|kOSN6Y2MIC8|showing how the berry timer keeps going in a treasure salvage cutscene.}}
 
When the plant is born, i.e. when it is free to start growing because the nearby [[#Mold|mold]] has been destroyed, it blooms straight into a tall stalk, with the end facing straight up. It stays in this first stage for around 30 seconds, after which it blooms into the next stage, where it is a bit taller, and the end faces an angle. Finally, after 20 seconds, it blooms into its final stage, with the end of the stalk pointing forward. When it does this, it also becomes populated with all five berries, and if there are [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s around, this is when they show up and go for the plant. If at the start of the day, the plant can grow uninhibited (because there is no mold around), it starts in the first stage right away.
 
The moment the Spiderwort grows its berries after entering the final stage, a countdown of 120 seconds starts. When this time reaches 0, the countdown restarts, and if it's not already full, the plant regrows all of its berries at once. This cycle repeats until the end of the day. When Pikmin attack the Burgeoning Spiderwort, they seem to slow down the time by a bit, so the longer the Pikmin take to harvest the plant, the longer it will take until the next recharge.<ref>Information gathered from a [[Talk:Burgeoning Spiderwort#Pikmin 2 regrow time|fan-driven experiment]].</ref>
 
When a leader is near a Burgeoning Spiderwort plant, an additional instrument is added to the area's [[Music in Pikmin 2|music]], it being slow strings or a pad synthesizer. This music will persist as long as a leader is near a Burgeoning Spiderwort or one of its berries.
 
=== ''Pikmin 3'' ===
An idle Spiderwort has all of its berries, and does nothing special. The second any berry detaches from the plant, a countdown of 60 seconds starts, and once it reaches 0, the plant will regenerate all of its berries at once.
 
In this game, when the Pikmin are pummeling away at cluster, one Pikmin will drop whenever a berry does, in order to pick it up right away. This makes the berry harvesting faster than in ''Pikmin 2'', where the player has to wait for all the Pikmin to drop off at the end of the attack, or issue some Pikmin to the berry manually. When the Pikmin fall off of an empty Spiderwort, they will idle next to the plant, but will not climb back up unless there are new berries to be harvested. This allows the player to keep a few Pikmin busy with the plant throughout the day and be assured that they will continuously harvest it. On top of that, unlike ''Pikmin 2'', a Pikmin that delivers a berry will return to the Burgeoning Spiderwort on its own.
 
If a [[bomb rock]] explodes near a Spiderwort, or a [[Rock Pikmin]] is thrown directly at the center of the berries, then all of the plant's berries will drop at once.
 
Any berry that is left on the floor for 30 seconds will disappear. If a Pikmin carrying a berry is [[whistle]]d, it will drop the berry, which will also cause it to disappear.
 
=== ''Pikmin 4'' ===
Burgeoning Spiderworts are taller than they are in previous games, as most Pikmin types can only barely reach the bottom of the berry cluster, and [[Purple Pikmin]] cannot hit the berries at all. The [[lock-on]] system will only target the berries when [[Winged Pikmin]] or [[Yellow Pikmin]] are selected. However, the berries can be weighed down significantly to be more easily hit. Purple Pikmin are considered 10 times heavier for this feature and it takes the weight of around 50 standard Pikmin to weigh the berries down all the way.
 
Rock Pikmin can now only pick one berry at a time when directly thrown at a berry cluster. Due to the way Rock Pikmin attack targets they can latch onto, they will perform a single attack on the berries that either immediately picks a single berry or deals no damage at all at random, then drop from the Spiderwort immediately. Despite the chance of missing, this makes them by far the most efficient berry-pickers, often out-pacing the speed of carrying offered by small squads of [[White Pikmin]] and Winged Pikmin.
 
Berries now act as their own individual objects rather than respawning at the Spiderwort, as when a Pikmin is interrupted while carrying a berry, it will just drop the berry. Like several treasures, the berries have an advanced physics system and can roll around. There can only be 50 berries in an area at a given time. If a Burgeoning Spiderwort grows some more, older berries will disappear.{{cite youtube|3kwOCmOdqLY|showing how many berries can exist at once|m=10|s=6|published={{date|7|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}
 
If [[Oatchi]] rushes a Spiderwort, all its berries are knocked loose at once. Oatchi cannot otherwise attack Burgeoning Spiderworts, but he can carry berries.

There is a final one near the entrance to the [[Bulblax Kingdom]]. To make reaching it easier, Blue Pikmin can be used to destroy the water [[gate]] behind the landing area. Then, by having them attack the [[clog]] there, the water will disappear. This Burgeoning Spiderwort only produces purple berries.

Near the path to the entrance of the [[Hole of Heroes]] in the [[Wistful Wild]], there is a large field with the most number of Spiderworts known in one spot: three. All of them produce both kinds of berries, with each berry being decided at random. There are three Whiskerpillars here and a mold will cover each individual plant. A Fiery Blowhog and a [[Watery Blowhog]] keep watch over the area.

[[File:Berries Garden of Hope 1.jpeg‎|thumb|right|The second Burgeoning Spiderwort, near the Toady Bloyster.]]
There are two Burgeoning Spiderworts in the [[Garden of Hope]]. The first is fairly close to the Drake and Onion. Unfortunately, it is in a part of the Garden of Hope that can only be accessed after the player rescues [[Louie]]. It is across a brown bridge, which must be built by the Pikmin, being guarded by a [[Waddlepus]]. It is one of the best places to get Spiderwort berries from, because there are no enemies between it and the Drake, aside from the Waddlepus.


=== ''Pikmin 3'' ===
The second one is located even closer to the base, but only appears when the [[Data Glutton]] has been retrieved, and will disappear once the player has obtained [[Blue Pikmin]]. It is located behind the landing site, near a pond with a [[Toady Bloyster]], [[Skitter Leaf|Skitter Leaves]], and a pair of [[Yellow Wollywog]]s. Once these threats have been cleared, Pikmin can quickly gather berries en masse.
==== Tropical Wilds ====
[[File:P3 Berries Tropical Wilds.jpg|thumb|left|The only Burgeoning Spiderwort of this area.]]
There is a single Burgeoning Spiderwort plant located in the very center of the [[Tropical Wilds]]. It is behind the landing site and just beyond the small body of water that holds a [[Cupid's Grenade]]. Once the nearby [[reinforced wall]] is blown down and the nearby bridge built, Pikmin will be able to more easily take these berries to the ship.

There are two Burgeoning Spiderworts in the [[Distant Tundra]]. The first one is located near the exit to the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]'s cave and where the [[Dodge Whistle]] upgrade can be found. After clearing the area of the nearby [[Joustmite]] and [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s, Pikmin can harvest these safely.


==== Garden of Hope ====
The other Spiderwort is located on top of the pot where a pile of bridge fragments were located on the initial visit to the area. As such, this plant will not appear on the player's first time here. If the player uses [[Winged Pikmin]] to harvest it, they can fly over the river, safely bypassing the [[Joustmite]]s sleeping below.

There are two Burgeoning Spiderworts in the area, which are located across the body of water near the [[Rugged Scaffold]] base. One is located on the lower ledge near the [[Geyser]] and the other one is located just above the [[Clay#Climbing wall|Climbing wall]].

The two Burgeoning Spiderworts can be found on a hill next to the [[Sunwashed Plateau]] base, protected by a [[Waddlequaff]]. Other than the lone enemy, these plants are minimally protected, providing clean access to more sprays.
 
==== Serene Shores ====

The two Burgeoning Spiderworts are located directly next to [[Foot of the Stairs]], located on the staircase. A tunnel can be found by nearby vases that leads up the first step, although a [[Gildemandwee]] hides inside a vase. The other Spiderwort, sitting on the second step, requires riding a rail from the kitchen counter to access. A rope can be pushed down to create a direct shortcut between the it and the base.

==== Giant's Hearth ====
The two Burgeoning Spiderworts are found next to the stage's central crystal wall. Its close proximity to [[Abandoned Throne]] and [[The Central Flame]] bases provide quick and easy access to the berries at any time, provided the nearby [[Mama Sheargrub]]s and [[Bulbear]]s are defeated.

[[File:Spiderwort PT 1 Location.jpg|thumb|left|The Burgeoning Spiderwort near the Golden Vaulting Table.]]
[[File:Spiderwort PT 2 Location.jpg|thumb|The Burgeoning Spiderworts by the Cavern for a King.]]
A single Burgeoning Spiderwort can be found on top of the Climbing Wall, right next to the [[Golden Vaulting Table]], surrounded by [[Honeywisp]]s. With its close proximity to [[The Maple Bridge]] base, this plant is relatively safe and easy to collect as long as the bridge is built. If the bridge isn't built, Pikmin will be far more likely to carry the berries into danger.
 
Two more Spiderworts are located directly outside of [[Cavern for a King]], across a pool of [[Mud]], covered in [[Sticky mold]], and guarded by two [[Bogswallow]]s. After defeating the enemies, these are best collected either by freezing the mud or by using Winged Pikmin, helped by a nearby geyser that lands all Pikmin right next to The Maple Bridge base.
 
{{clear}}
 
== Mold ==
[[File:Spiderwort Mold.png|thumb|The center of a patch of Burgeoning Spiderwort mold.]]
Some Burgeoning Spiderworts are occasionally found in patches of '''mold''', which prevents their growth until the mold has been destroyed. This mold appears as a bulbous structure lurking where Burgeoning Spiderworts had once grown. This fungus is destructible, so if spotted, one should take a medium-large group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to the area and have them attack it. Soon enough, the mold and its thread-like hyphae will slowly disappear, allowing the Burgeoning Spiderwort and any [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] that were there to grow once again. This is not harmful to the Pikmin, only to the [[plant]]. Mold will form on its own if a Spiderwort plant is not tended to, excessive [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] activity will cause the mold to grow back and cover the plants.
 
In ''Pikmin 4'', a different substance named [[sticky mold]] is also used to suffocate Burgeoning Spiderworts, along with treasures and [[Candypop Bud]]s.
 
=== Locations ===
In the [[Awakening Wood]], starting on day 7, there is a large piece of mold near the landing site, where two Spiderworts grow. It seals away both of the plants, but when eliminated, they will grow back.
 
In the [[Perplexing Pool]], there are two of them across from the landing site (near the location of the [[Gherkin Gate]]). There is a [[Swooping Snitchbug]] there as well as a [[Fiery Blowhog]], so it is advised to defeat them first.
 
In the [[Wistful Wild]], there are three patches of mold in a large clearing near the drainable lake which coincides with [[The Final Trial]]'s landing area in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. Each one covers its own berry plant, so it may take a while to get rid of them all.

== Trivia ==
* Despite there being no Burgeoning Spiderworts in the [[Valley of Repose]], the musical data for the area does have a specified Spiderwort mix.{{cite youtube|ZRGVL125w7Q|of a hacked game that has the Spiderwort mix in the Valley of Repose}}
* Burgeoning Spiderworts were planned to also be found in caves, as there are unused cave [[Music in Pikmin 2|themes]] with Spiderwort mixes in the game files.{{cite web|https://tcrf.net/Pikmin_2/Unused_Music#Unused_Spiderwort_Mixes|Unused Spiderwort Mixes|The Cutting Room Floor}}
* [[Olimar's notes]] on the [[Cupid's Grenade]] seem to be describing the Burgeoning Spiderwort, possibly implying that at some point it was planned to get its own Piklopedia entry.
