Has anyone else had issues with inexplicably slow flower planting? Presists accross different phones and providers.

Question

My partner and I have been playing for a few months now, and recently my partner has been having a lot of issues with flowers planting incredibly slowly. We had had issues with our phone provider connection so we thought it might be that, but we changed provider and the issue persisted. We thought it might be an issue with the phone not tracking background planting, but we checked and I plant 20 flowers when I start planting, and they only plant 12, usually, and sometimes as low as 2 flowers. These rates of flower planting have persisted accross multiple phones, for both of us. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Phone models used by myself were a galaxy s10 and now an s23, and by my partner were a galaxy s10e, and now a pixel 5.

Do you both have a full squad throughout flower planting?

This was it. Thanks for replying. I always have a full squad but they don't. Had no idea this was even a mechanic.

I’ve noticed this too! Does the amount of Pikmin in your squad affect how you plant?

Are you trying to plant over existing flowers by chance?

I have a good connection and a full squad plus I walk fast but I still have this issue, so it must be this or something else I haven't heard of yet. I need to tell this to my mom because she has it worse than me, maybe it would help her too. We will try to experiment with different places and see if this really is the problem.

Same area shouldn't give you trouble if it's been like 5 minutes. You can keep planting flowers in the same areas (the corridor in the front of my apartment is absolutely drowned in flowers)

It's not something that always happens, but there have been many times where my app will plant very few flowers over an area where I planted the day prior. It's also much worse if I planted an event petal the day before, and very consistent as I almost never can plant over where I placed an event petal. And like I said, a full 24 hours after initially planting them.

That being said though, the front of my apartment is also drowned in flowers, so it hasnt been messing me up too much. If the app tries to give me too much trouble with planting around my apartment, I just head to one of my other walking spots.
