The Plantation Staff is a craftable Hardmode summon weapon. It summons a miniature Plantera that protects the player by firing seeds, spores, and thorn balls at enemies. It additionally is surrounded by six tentacles that deal contact damage. If the player reaches 75% health, the minion will enrage and begin to ram into enemies, dealing contact damage. It requires three minion slots to summon one Mini Plantera and only one Mini Plantera can be active at once. The minion itself inflicts Poisoned for 5 seconds upon contact, the green seed projectiles fired by the minion inflict Poisoned for 3 seconds and the pink seeds inflict Poisoned for 1 second.

Its best modifier is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier provides the widest array of stat bonuses, but these primarily affect the initial summon rather than the resulting minion. Additionally, minions cannot deal critical hits. The only lasting advantage a Mythical Plantation Staff has over a Ruthless one is knockback.
