Plantera's Bulb



Plantera's Bulbs are Hardmode background objects that will summon Plantera when broken. They are found naturally placed in random Underground Jungle locations, once all three of the mechanical bosses have been defeated (on, one suffices) – the status message "" indicates that Plantera's Bulbs have begun spawning. A bulb must be destroyed with a pickaxe, a drill or with in order to summon Plantera.

Plantera's Bulbs emit low light, and will appear on the minimap in pink in areas the player has already explored. They spawn one at a time after a delay of about half a day between them, and unless destroyed, several will eventually be present (10–15 in a large world's naturally generated Underground Jungle). If destroyed, they respawn after the same delay (though not necessarily in the same spot), allowing the player to summon Plantera an infinite number of times.Also Plantera's bulb will spawn every 45 minutes and someone said "when you rejoining the world a Plantera's bulb will spawn"

Tips

 * If planning to farm Plantera, a viable method is by digging long tunnels of mud near an arena so any bulbs can be easily found and reached. Scarab Bombs will suffice, but obtaining a consistent amount may require Journey mode.
 * The bulbs can be farmed with rows of Mud Blocks.
 * Sleeping is a good way to get bulbs to spawn.

Trivia

 * The bulbs are very similar in appearance to Plantera's first form.
 * When a bulb spawns, a flash of pink light appears where it spawned.
 * The bulbs are similar to the larva in that they are both ambient jungle objects that summon a boss when destroyed.
 * They also both take on the appearance of their respective bosses.


 * Plantera's Bulb can spawn on blocks that are at 0' depth, giving the appearance of spawning in the surface layer.
