How to make a Big Flower bloom into exactly the flower you want

Chasing an event flower like Lisianthus, or just tired of waiting? You can spend petals to instantly bloom the species you want.

🌺 What this does

You can spend 150 petals of a single species to make a Big Flower bloom instantly into that species β€” no matter which Big Flower spot it is, as long as the flower is still in its leaf or bud stage. This works whether you're near a wild Big Flower spot or one on your own route.

πŸ“ Step by step

  1. Find a Big Flower that's still in its leaf or bud stage (not already blooming).
  2. Tap it, then tap "Use petals to make flowers bloom!"
  3. Choose the petal species you want it to bloom into.
  4. Confirm you have 150 petals of that type, then tap Go.

If the Big Flower is already blooming, you'll instead see "Use petals to get a postcard!" β€” that option gets you a postcard of the current bloom rather than changing the species.

🎁 What you get

Once it blooms, you'll receive nectar of that flower species, plus a postcard of the bloom.

⚠️ What's still random

Choosing the petal species controls which flower species blooms β€” but the exact color is still decided separately at random, based on whatever colors that species can produce. See our flower color logic explainer for the full breakdown.

🌱 While you're out planting…

If you find a spot that only ever gives one decor type, that's a pure spot β€” the fastest way to farm exactly the decor you want. Check the community map to see verified pure spots near you.
