*The only place where Bulbmin can be buried – and hence, the only place where one can observe Bulbmin with buds – is the [[Frontier Cavern]], on its fourth and fifth sublevels. [[Swooping Snitchbug]]s can plant them in the ground on the former and they can be planted by [[Mamuta]]s on the latter. | *The only place where Bulbmin can be buried – and hence, the only place where one can observe Bulbmin with buds – is the [[Frontier Cavern]], on its fourth and fifth sublevels.

*If the game is altered such that it allows Bulbmin on the surface, they will take refuge in the [[Hocotate ship|ship]]'s storage when the day ends, just like [[Purple Pikmin]] and [[White Pikmin]].

They will still count towards Olimar's Pikmin count, but they cannot be taken out of the ship the next morning. Like the other ship-dwelling types, they will take fallen foes or [[pellets]] to a random [[Onion]] and will tote any other objects, like berries, to their correct location. They will still be immune to all hazards. | ||

*Bulbmin can actually be found in the game files of ''Pikmin 3'', despite them being absent in-game. Because of their model being identical to the one in ''Pikmin 2'', it can be assumed that the idea of them returning was scrapped early in development. | *Bulbmin can actually be found in the game files of ''Pikmin 3'', despite them being absent in-game.

*Strangely enough, the young Bulbmin do not die when caught in an [[explosion]] while under the control of the mature Bulbmin. However, when under the player's control, they can die by explosions. This is more of a useful tip, since the mature Bulbmin can die from it, and the young will remain fine. | *Strangely enough, the young Bulbmin do not die when caught in an [[explosion]] while under the control of the mature Bulbmin.

*When juvenile Bulbmin perish, their souls appear as any other enemies' souls, not as Pikmin souls. This may likely be due to how the Bulbmin find a bulborb host, in which the host ends up losing its life as well. | *When juvenile Bulbmin perish, their souls appear as any other enemies' souls, not as Pikmin souls.

*The Pikmin appear to be orange, as hinted by the picture above, and by the orange coloration seen at the tip where the stem meets the leaf/bud/flower. If this is the case, they would be the only Pikmin type to have a separate idle glow/map icon color than their main coloration. | *The Pikmin appear to be orange, as hinted by the picture above, and by the orange coloration seen at the tip where the stem meets the leaf/bud/flower.
