In {{pb}}, unlike the usual blobs seen in other games in the series that can feed multiple Pikmin, nectar takes the appearance of translucent colored balls, similar to the orb that a [[Honeywisp]] carries, that are fed to Pikmin individually in the Pikmin garden screen. A large ball of nectar appears at the bottom of the screen and can be swiped up to throw 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. 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 tap a Pikmin to focus on them, and while in this state only the Pikmin that is focused on will be fed nectar.

The most common, standard nectar type comes in four colors – in order of rarity, nectar, yellow nectar, red nectar, and blue nectar. These different nectars make Pikmin bloom standard flowers in different colors. Regular nectar produces white flowers and does not bloom leaf Pikmin straight to the flower stage, instead blooming them from leaf to bud and bud to flower in two steps. Yellow, red, and blue nectars produce flowers of those colors, respectively, and bloom Pikmin straight to the flower stage. If you feed a Pikmin a white nectar to turn it into the bud stage, then feed it a colored nectar, the Pikmin will provide two flower petals when the flower is harvested instead of one.

Two rarer types of nectar, rose and pansy nectar, can also come in any of the four colors and are obtained through completing [[challenge]]s and blooming [[Big Flower]]s. They 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 the 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]]''.
