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, with, or the Clentaminator (using Dark Blue Solution) in order to summon Plantera.

Plantera's Bulbs emit moderate 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 small 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.

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.

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.
