{{game help|p3|Find exactly what the berry regrowth mechanics are.}}
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.
The berries take about one minute to regrow.{{source needed}} 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.


In this game, when the Pikmin are pummeling away at cluster, a 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, 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.

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.

If a Pikmin carrying a berry is [[whistle]]d, it will drop the berry, which will instantly disappear.
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.
