Easy way to defeat Plantera: Make a long (not necessarily tall, but if you make it so it will help) tunnel in the jungle. Every once in a while make a large room to circle around Plantera and get some free space. Maybe also put down some heart statues there to heal. Recommended armor is Chlorophyte melee set, or Turtle if you have enough time to farm the Giant Tortoises. Get Death Sickle, Terra Blade and Megashark with Chlorophyte Bullets (You can save your few amounts of Chlorophyte for other things such as Spectre or Shroomite Bars and instead use the very effective Crystal Bullets, as you won't be in large spaces as often using this tactic. Also, all of these things CAN be obtained before Plantera - atleast on PC.) When you first break the bulb, wait until Plantera enters your tunnel, and start shooting at it with the Death Sickle or Terra Blade. You should take little damage - but if you DO think you'll get serious damage, put in Heart Statues very often along your tunnel. Once Plantera gets to second phase, her defense decreases, so you can use the Crystal Bullets to deal high DPS and kill her quickly. If she somehow gets in Death Sickle or Terra Blade range (so that both blade and projectile can hit her), use that weapon and swing a lot. If you're not melee, I don't have a strategy for it yet - however if you don't mind wasting materials for a one-time kill, you can use this strategy. Sorry for the long post, and hope this helps.
