For the purposes of flower planting, the world is divided into a grid of cells of around 5 by 5 meters. One flower can be planted in each cell, and once a flower is in a cell, another one cannot take its place until 5 minutes have passed. As a player walks with flower planting turned on, they will plant flowers in nearby grid cells. The range in which this occurs depends on the number of Pikmin in the [[squad]]. This will only happen if the player is moving less than 15 kilometers per hour, to prevent players from being able to plant lots of flowers from within a vehicle.

During flower planting, flowers are set down around the player in a rectangular area, which is wider along its west- and east-facing sides than its north- and south-facing borders. As the squad size increases, so too does the flower planting area. For every 10 Pikmin added to the squad, the grid will increase by one square along both dimensions. The amount of [[petal]]s consumed per minute will also increase along the same parameters, though this does not outweigh the benefits of increasing the planting area.

[[Big Flower]]s count the small flowers within their radii slightly differently to how the counter at the top of the screen counts them. The only practical difference is that the receptive planting area is slightly larger, and square.
