Talk:Plantera's Bulb

Does it spawn randomly anywhere there's jungle grass, overwritting preexisting vegetation? Or do you need to keep weeding out these plants to make room for the bulb?

I have found that you need to keep weeding. One can increase the chances for bulbs by making long horizontal 4-high shafts, and periodically checking and weeding. 24.246.152.183 22:06, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Plantera's Bulb overwrites jungle grass, jungle tall grass, jungle plants, and Life Fruit. There is no need to weed. Information taken from source code. --Neojin (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

The article seems to imply that bulb marks appear on the minimap automatically, without the player having to actually re-discover them. Is this correct? --185.13.136.7 16:37, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's correct, at least as fas as I can remember my last play session, which was two months ago.--DoubleFloat (talk) 17:25, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Has anyone found a workaround for the bug that causes a plantera bulb to not spawn on some worlds? (Apart from making an entirely new world of course) Audiophillie (talk) 17:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

I found a bug; Using the Clentaminator in the jungle and converting the blocks underneath the bulb to Mushroom Grass causes the Plantera to spawn without destroying the bulb, but the bulb afterwards will not spawn Plantera again if broken.
