{{todo|Try using Dolphin and savestates to see if a leaf giving out nectar is determined via chance, at the moment of pluck, or if each patch has a specific random amount it can give.}}
'''Nectar weed''' is found in a number of overground areas in the first two [[Pikmin series|''Pikmin'' games]], and resembles a patch of long grass. Its purpose for [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] is as a source of [[nectar]]: they can extract pools of nectar from it seemingly by [[pluck]]ing out single leaves of grass. Unlike [[egg]]s, these will only ever contain nectar, not [[spray drop]]s. The amount of nectar contained inside a patch is [[Randomness|random]], and it is possible to have no drops of nectar appear. Only five Pikmin can be pulling a patch of nectar weed at a time.

There is no need to [[Group move|swarm]] the Pikmin to the patch, as they will attempt to use it whenever they walk near it. Given how mundane and camouflaged these leaves of grass are, it is likely that Pikmin were programmed to interact with them without the player's consent. Otherwise, the player would only realize that this particular type of grass is useful by pure accident, in the chance that they were to accidentally command a Pikmin over a patch of the plant. This does however have the drawback of distracting Pikmin when the player doesn't want it.

Ideally, it is best to have five [[Maturity|flower Pikmin]] work on the leaves, and, with all leaf and bud Pikmin, use [[Group move|group swarming]] to keep the Pikmin in a tight circle around the patch of grass. By using an overhead [[camera]] angle, it's possible to get a better view on the location of the newly-uncovered nectar drops.

As with [[rubble]], nectar weed can be found in every area of ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'', but only in the [[Awakening Wood]] and [[Perplexing Pool]] in ''[[Pikmin 2]]'', and never underground. It should be noted that in ''Pikmin 2'', [[Purple Pikmin]] appear to stomp in mid-air, if [[throw]]n above a patch of nectar weed.
