Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 added a jungle to the battle royale map. Not only is the jungle home to various strange creatures, but it's also where interesting and hazardous flora can be found. In this biome, players will find three types of plants: Bomb Flowers, Stink Flowers, and Slurp Plants.

In this guide, players will learn everything they need to know about these Fortnite plant species. This will help them build strategies so they're aware of how they should approach and handle them to their advantage in combat.
Bomb Flowers will undoubtedly stand out when the player is exploring the Fortnite jungle POIs. Their bright pink hue is hard to miss among the green foliage that exists in these areas. Even though they're dangerous things to handle, they can be quite handy when it comes to looting faster or weakening opponents.
In Fortnite, Bomb Flowers will deal 80 damage if they come into contact with a player, character, or creature. To use Bomb Flowers properly, the player must hit it with their pickaxe in the direction that they'd like it to go. It will be projected forward and explode on impact. It will also cause major structural damage, so it's a great way to destroy a building or structure and quickly discover all the loot inside.
Before using a Bomb Flower, gamers must carefully decide where to aim. If the point of impact is too close to the player, they will also be damaged by the explosion.
Stink Flowers are just like the now-vaulted Fortnite item: the Stink Bomb. This item was actually quite powerful because whoever was in its radius would lose health extremely fast if they didn't escape - the Stink Flower is very similar.
Players can hit a Stink Flower with their pickaxe, and, like the Bomb Flower, it'll be projected in that same direction. It will explode on impact, releasing a yellow gas. Those that are close enough to inhale its fumes will lose 5 HP per tick; this is particularly dangerous because it immediately damages the player's health instead of their shields.
Slurp Plants are a great healing item in Fortnite right now. Gamers can hit these bright blue plants with their pickaxe to get them to burst. When this happens, they will heal the player by 25 HP or Shield.
All of these plants respawn in the same location every 15 seconds, so players can reuse the same Slurp Plant as many times as they'd like to get to full health without even having to look for any shields. These plant species are exclusive to the jungle biome, which means they can only be found near Creeky Compound, Shady Stilts, Rumble Ruins, and the areas surrounding these POIs.
Fortnite is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
