The most basic way is by feeding it [[nectar]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]]. This will raise its friendship by a small fraction of a heart.

[[Special nectar]] uniquely contributes 1 whole heart of friendship when fed to a Pikmin, but is very rare. | The most basic way is by feeding it [[nectar]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden screen]].
