Plant Food

Plant Food is an item in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It is fed to plants to give them more powerful effects and is dropped by glowing green zombies, Power Tiles, and made by the Power Lily. The Player will find this as the level advances, they are dropped from zombies and zombies that carry plant food are glowing green and eventually shimmering green rays. The player can carry three at a time or later upgrade to four at a time (or when the player pays an in-app purchase, even upgraded to five at a time). It is represented by the lights on a bar at the bottom of the screen. Note, however, that the effect is temporary, and plants will then resume to their normal forms (this does not apply to Wall-nut, Tall-nut, Torchwood, which change appearence, or anything that makes other plants, such as Potato Mine, Chili Bean, or their imitated forms).

Trivia

 * In the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, the Plant Food is a bean instead of a leaf.
 * When Plant Food is used on a damaged plant, it would be restored to full health.
 * There is no reward to save Plant Food after the level ends, except in Endless Zones where the saved Plant Food can be used in next level.
 * While the plants are shining, nothing can destroy them. The player can not even shovel them up.
 * An exception to this is Spring Bean, which for some reason can still be crushed while using Plant Food.
 * Lightning Reed also can get eaten because the invulnerability caused by plant food lasts 0.5 seconds.
 * When the Threepeater is using its Plant Food ability, the pattern the peas make resembles a leaf.
 * If the player digs up a Chili Bean or Potato Mine that was created via Plant Food, sun will not be given if they have Shovel Boost Upgrades.
 * This may be because the player did not plant the extra Potato Mines or Chili Beans, the Potato Mine or Chili Bean that was fed with Plant Food were the ones who created the extra.
 * Plant food can not be fed to instant plants (I.e. cherry bomb, tile turnip etc.)
