Plants like Cherry Bomb, Grapeshot, Jalapeno, and Power Lily are instant use and single use. Plants like Ghost Pepper, Shrinking Violet, Squash, Tangle Kelp, Grimrose, and Potato Mine are single use only. They disappear after doing what they're meant to, but don't do it until a zombie comes near. Instant use plants do what they're supposed to do instantly; as soon as you plant them. That's why they're referred to as instants. They don't sit idle and wait for zombies to come near. You plant a Cherry Bomb when there's no zombies around, it'll still explode. You plant a Primal Potato Mine when there's no zombies around and it won't explode, because there's no zombies to activate it. Unless a plant uses it's ability immediately upon planting (and disappears after), it's not an instant use plant. Regardless of if it stops portals or not.
