Petals can mainly be obtained by feeding Pikmin [[nectar]]. Each of the several nectar types corresponds to a petal type. Feeding nectar to a Pikmin will make a flower bloom on its head, and tapping that flower will add petals to the player's petal storage. The exception to this is the basic white type of nectar, which will bloom Pikmin from leaf to bud and then bud to flower. If a Pikmin goes from leaf to flower or flower to flower, tapping the glowing flower will give 1 petal of that type. If a Pikmin goes from bud to flower, tapping the glowing flower will give 2 petals of that type. Each Pikmin can only be fed nectar 6 times before it will be overfed and lose its flower after it has been tapped.

If a Pikmin goes from bud to flower, tapping the glowing flower will give 2 petals of that type. Each Pikmin can only be fed nectar 6 times before it will be overfed and lose its flower after it has been tapped.
Therefore, depending on the method used, each nectar can be converted into either 1 or 2 petals:
* Feeding nectar to leaf Pikmin gives 1 petal per each 1 nectar. For basic white nectar, this is instead 2 petals per each 2 nectar (one to bud the Pikmin, and another to flower it to get 2 petals), which is the same ratio but requires spending both nectar at a time.
* Feeding a basic white nectar to a leaf Pikmin, and then a different nectar to that bud Pikmin, also results in 2 petals per each 2 nectar. The difference is that the basic nectar used for budding is conceptually "wildcard"ed into the type of the second nectar.
* Feeding nectar to a flower Pikmin gives 1 petal per each 1 nectar.
* Feeding nectar to a Pikmin that has naturally budded over time gives 2 petals per each 1 nectar. This is optimal for maximizing petals per nectar.
If you feed a Pikmin over and over again they will lose their leaves/flowers and have a bare stalk.  If you were to walk with that Pikmin about 2000 steps they will regain a single green leaf.  Walking with a single green leaf Pikmin some number of steps will lead to a bulb again.  If you want to power up a Pikmin to 4 yellow hearts, "scalping" a Pikmin and walking with it and feeding it to scalp it again, repeatedly, is the fastest way.
Releasing a Pikmin will provide 10 basic petals of its flower's color, or white if it was never bloomed.


Some types of petals can also be bought from the [[shop]].

[[File:Pikminbloom glowingbloom 2021nov14.png|thumb|150px|An example of the glowing effect on a [[Purple Pikmin]].]]
On very rare occasions after a player fed nectar to a Pikmin, it may continue emitting a glow with an additional blue tint and a small lens flare effect. If a player attempts to collect petals from this Pikmin, it will keep giving unlimited(?) <!--Testing has shown that the petal animation does not match the petals given, and that there is some kind of hard cap.--> petals of the nectar type it was fed last until the glowing stops. This lasts for approximately 10 seconds.


There is a limit to the number of petals of each type the player can hold, but it can be increased through in-app purchases in the [[shop]]. The starting amount is 300, though it used to be 200 before {{date|11|July|2022}}.

It is possible to select a different petal type during a flower planting session without interrupting the session, but doing so will instantly consume 1 petal of the newly-selected type.
It is possible to change to a different petal type during a flower planting session without interrupting the session. Doing so will instantly consume 1 petal of the newly-selected type and start the depletion timer from there.
