Editing Nectar

In {{p4}}, same as ''Pikmin 3'', nectar can only flower 10 Pikmin. [[Oatchi]] can also drink nectar, which will heal him or increase his maximum health if it is already full, similarly to the effects of a [[Scrummy Bone]]. The [[Sunsquish]] and the [[Foolix]] can disguise themselves as nectar drops. Nectar drops out in the overworld will stay there until the end of the day, even if the player enters [[cave]]s.

Nectar can be fed to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]]. In this screen, a large ball of nectar appears at the bottom, and swiping up from it throws a small ball towards the Pikmin. Pikmin run towards the ball and whichever one picks it up gets to drink it, blooming in the process (unless a leaf Pikmin drinks a basic Nectar, which only [[bud]]s it). If no Pikmin picks it up after a few seconds, it will disappear and return to the player's supply. Alternatively, nectar can be fed directly to Pikmin by holding down on the large ball and dragging the finger around the screen to give small balls to whatever Pikmin the finger passes over. This process works the same way for any type of nectar. The player can also double tap a Pikmin to focus on them, and while in this state only the Pikmin that is focused on will be fed nectar.

When a Pikmin is bloomed into the flower stage with any nectar type, its flower will glow. Tapping on the glowing flower will add [[petal]]s of that color and type to the player's petal supply, making using nectar the main way of getting petals. Feeding a Pikmin also raises that Pikmin's [[friendship]]. A Pikmin cannot be fed nectar again until the glowing flower is tapped and stops glowing. If a Pikmin is fed six times within two hours, its flower will disappear after being tapped, and the Pikmin will be unable to be fed until its leaf regrows.

====Seasonal flower species====

There are other species of flowers in ''Pikmin Bloom'', which are rarer, and each of them has corresponding types of nectar. These nectar types take the appearance of a transparent orb containing an icon of the type of flower it will produce. When fed to a Pikmin, these will bloom that Pikmin straight to the flower stage, like colored nectar, and the flower atop the Pikmin's head will be the type of flower that the nectar represented instead of the standard ''[[Chaenostoma cordatum]]''.

If the player isn't doing very well on a specific stage, the game will eventually spawn an Assist Block near the starting point. Once this block is broken, a large drop of nectar appears that, when collected, instantly evolves all players to level 50 plus 2 extra nectar. In timed missions, it also gives an extra minute.  

===Monita's notes===

P1 Honeywisp Artwork.png|A [[Honeywisp]] from ''Pikmin''. Notice how its nectar is not carried in an egg, unlike all other games.

*[[Ultra-spicy spray]] – In ''Pikmin 3'', this spray also instantly blooms Pikmin, much like nectar

*[[Ultra-bitter spray]] – In ''Pikmin 2'' the Ultra Bitter Spray petrifies enemies making them unable to move and once the enemy is defeated it will drop more Ultra Bitter Spray, Ultra Spicy Spray, or nectar.
