'''Petals''' are items used for [[flower planting]] in {{pb}}. To get petals, the player must feed [[nectar]] to [[Pikmin family|Pikmin]] in the [[Pikmin Bloom interface#Garden|garden]], which will make a flower bloom on their head. Petals from that flower can then be picked and added to the player's inventory. There are multiple types of petals, each with a different appearance on the in-game map.

Petals are used in [[flower planting]] as a consumable resource. One type of petals can be selected at a time, and when flower planting is turned on, that type of petals will gradually be expended. (They will not be expended if the app cannot see the player's location or if the app is currently in a crashed state.) The rate depends on how many Pikmin are in the player's [[squad]], but the range of flowers planted also depends on this, meaning it's advantageous to have as many Pikmin in the squad as possible.
Petals can be used to [[Flower planting|plant flowers]]. Each petal is worth about 33 flowers, with the normal max of 200 allowing 6,700 flowers to be planted. The amount of petal storage can be upgraded in the shop with [[Shop|in-app purchases]].

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.
