For the purposes of flower planting, the world is divided into a grid of cells that are around 5 by 5 meters. These cells are determined by a grid of larger cells sized at 0.00036 decimal degrees across both dimensions. These larger cells are then divided into a number of smaller cells, depending on their respective latitiude. At the equator, as well as for the majority of the populated ranges of the earth, the division is into 64 smaller cells, each with edges sized at 0.000045 decimal degrees. The cells are not shown to the player, but are used to calculate many features of flower planting. | For the purposes of flower planting, the world is divided into a grid of cells that are 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. This will only happen if the player is moving less than 16 kilometers per hour, to prevent players from being able to plant lots of flowers from within a vehicle. | ||
Not all flowers are rendered on the map screen. When flowers are directly adjacent to eachother, only some will be shown, and the density shown depends on how far in front of the camera they are, as well as the performance of the device being used to play the game. Flowers are also not rendered when they are on top of roads. However, all flowers, including non-rendered ones, are counted in the banner at the top of the screen that says how many flowers have been planted in a session. | Not all flowers are rendered on the map screen.

However, other planting effects will otherwise continue as normal, consuming petals at a rate proportional to [[squad]] size, and maintaining the seedling growth rate bonus. Zones do not affect other players or their planting, nor are they visible to other players. | ||
To place a privacy zone, a player must open the settings menu, followed by the "Privacy" and "Flower Planting" submenus, and then select "Create Privacy Zone". A zone's radius of effect can range between 50 to 300 metres. Zones will be named after their district location by default, but this can be changed by the player. A player may add as many as 5 concurrent privacy zones, which can be deleted or have their locations, sizes and names edited at any time. | To place a privacy zone, a player must open the settings menu, followed by the "Privacy" and "Flower Planting" submenus, and then select "Create Privacy Zone".

==Strategy== | |||
{{guide}} | |||
The most efficient way to plant flowers is to be moving consistently at under the maximum allowed speed of 20km/h. Moving east-west is more efficient than moving north-south. | |||
If you are stationary, a strategy of planting for a few seconds every 5 minutes is most effective. This limits wasting petals. | |||
When sending your Pikmin on expeditions, be careful about sending Pikmin from your squad, since if your squad size is reduced below a threshold, your flower planting rate could drop significantly. Sending standby Pikmin avoids this. | |||
