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 ''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.

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. | 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.

Pikmin that fall off from the top of the plant will fall in a random direction, and if they land near the base of the stem, they will climb back up and repeat the process. Otherwise, they will become idle or follow the leader, if he is nearby. This means that leaving Pikmin behind to work on the next batch of berries is not very effective, since the Pikmin will not climb up the plant automatically, and the ones that do will likely end up falling out of the stem's reach eventually. In addition, because Pikmin will not drop down of the plant until all the berries are gone, the player runs the risk of a berry falling down, no Pikmin coming down to get it for a while, and the berry disappearing. | Pikmin that fall off from the top of the plant will fall in a random direction, and if they land near the base of the stem, they will climb back up and repeat the process.

In this game, berries can only remain on the ground for 40 seconds, after which they burst and disappear. Having a Pikmin carry them | In this game, berries can only remain on the ground for 40 seconds, after which they burst and disappear. Having a Pikmin carry them freezes this timer, but does not reset 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.}} | ||
When the plant is born, i.e. when it is free to start growing because the nearby [[#Mold|mold]] has been destroyed, it blooms straight into a tall stalk, with the end facing straight up. It stays in this first stage for around 30 seconds, after which it blooms into the next stage, where it is a bit taller, and the end faces an angle. 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. If at the start of the day, the plant can grow uninhibited (because there is no mold around), it starts in the first stage right away. | When the plant is born, i.e. when it is free to start growing because the nearby [[#Mold|mold]] has been destroyed, it blooms straight into a tall stalk, with the end facing straight up.

If a Pikmin carrying a berry is [[whistle]]d, it will drop the berry, which will also cause it to disappear. | Any berry that is left on the floor for 30 seconds will disappear.
