{{Infobox plant

{{Todo|Point down exactly how long the berries take to regrow and such, for both games.}}

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''.

In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s can appear in their vicinity, as well as some type of [[Burgeoning Spiderwort 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]]. To note is 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.}}

In ''Pikmin 3'', the berries take about one minute to regrow.{{source needed}} If a [[bomb rock]] explodes near a Spiderwort, it will cause it to drop all of its berries at once.

==Berries==

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, but it does freeze it. 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.

==Locations==

===Awakening Wood===

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.

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

===Perplexing Pool===

===Wistful Wild===

===Garden of Hope===

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.

===Distant Tundra===

===Twilight River===

The second one is located right at the entrance of the area's second section. There is a nearby [[Arachnode]], although it should not be much trouble if the player uses any color other than [[Winged Pikmin]] to harvest the berries. It is also highly recommended the player has Pikmin move the nearby box so they can have a much easier route back and forth between the berries and the Onion.
