For every 250 flowers planted, one [[coin]] is earned, up to 60 coins a day. Progress is reset when planting ends.
Flowers last for 7 days and then vanish, though they can vanish a few days earlier<!--needs more testing--> if approached by the player while planting more. Flowers within the radius of a Big Flower instead last until the Big Flower wilts.
Changing the selected petal type during planting will change to planting that flower type without interrupting the session, though doing so will immediately spend a petal and start the spending timer from there, so it will always be slightly less efficient. Running out of selected petals while the device is asleep will cause it to rumble; by the time this happens, it is already too late to salvage the session before it ends.

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.

During flower planting, flowers are set down around the player in a rectangular area, which is longer along the north-south axis. The size of the player's [[squad]] controls the size of this planting area. For every 10 Pikmin added to the squad, the rectangle will increase by one cell along both dimensions. The consumption rate of [[petal]]s will also increase, though this does not outweigh the benefits of increasing the planting area.

The flower planting accelerator is an item unlocked at Level 12 (used to be Level 10 until {{date|14|August|2023}}) that doubles both petal usage and flower output for 15 minutes during flower planting. It is a consumable item that can be bought from the [[shop]] or obtained in rare circumstances. One can be used by pressing the "Accelerate" button while flower planting and confirming this in the pop-up box. If another accelerator is used before the current one expires, the period is extended.

If another accelerator is used before the current one expires, the period is extended.


The doubling effect is done by planting 2 flowers in each cell instead of 1, not by increasing the planting radius. The cooldown period before the same player can plant into the same cell again remains the same. Big Flower flower counts are also affected by the doubled output.

==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.
