The '''Burgeoning Spiderwort''' ({{j|ピキノツユクサ|Piki no Tsuyukusa|Piki Asiatic Dayflower}}) is a [[plant]] in {{p2}},  
The '''Burgeoning Spiderwort''' ({{j|ピキノツユクサ|Piki no Tsuyukusa|Piki Asiatic Dayflower}}) is a [[plant]] in {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{p4}} that produces 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''. They are found in all areas in ''Pikmin 4'', although only a single plant is found in the [[Sun-Speckled Terrace]].

In ''Pikmin 2'', [[Ravenous Whiskerpillar]]s can appear in their vicinity, as well as some type of [[#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]].

In both games, Pikmin that are ordered to harvest a Burgeoning Spiderwort will go up to the base of the stem, climb up, and once they reach the berries, they will begin pummeling. Periodically, as damage is caused, a berry drops down. When all of the berries are gone, the Pikmin still attached to the plant all drop down at once, likely landing on the berries and proceeding to carry them to the base.

Each game also has more specific rules about how the Pikmin, the plants, and the berries behave.

There can only be fifty berries in an area at a given time. If a Burgeoning Spiderwort grows some more, older berries will disappear.{{cite youtube|3kwOCmOdqLY|showing how many berries can exist at once|m=10|s=6|published={{date|7|August|2023}}|retrieved={{date|6|October|2023}}}}

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.
