In this game, 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. It is worth noting 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 this game, berries can only remain on the ground for 40 seconds, after which they burst and disappear.

Finally, after 20 seconds, it blooms into its final stage, with the end of the stalk pointing forward. When it does this, it also becomes populated with all five berries, and if there are [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s around, this is when they show up and go for the plant.

The moment the Spiderwort grows its berries after entering the final stage, a countdown of 120 seconds starts.

Some Burgeoning Spiderworts are occasionally found in patches of '''mold''', which prevents their growth until the mold has been destroyed. This mold appears as a bulbous structure lurking where Burgeoning Spiderworts had once grown. This fungus is destructible, so if spotted, one should take a medium-large group of [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] to the area and have them attack it. Soon enough, the mold and its thread-like hyphae will slowly disappear, allowing the Burgeoning Spiderwort and any [[Pellet Posy|Pellet Posies]] that were there to grow once again. This is not harmful to the Pikmin, only to the [[plant]]. Mold will form on its own if a Spiderwort plant is not tended to, excessive [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]] activity will cause the mold to grow back and cover the plants. | |||
In ''Pikmin 4'', a different substance named [[sticky mold]] is also used to suffocate Burgeoning Spiderworts, along with treasures and [[Candypop Bud]]s. | |||

In the [[Wistful Wild]], there are three patches of mold in a large clearing near the drainable lake which coincides with [[The Final Trial]]'s landing area in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''. Each one covers its own berry plant, so it may take a while to get rid of them all. | In the [[Wistful Wild]], there are three patches of mold in a large clearing near the drainable lake which coincides with [[The Final Trial]]'s landing area in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]''.
