Glowstems appear to be relatives of the Common Glowcap, but in actuality, these tiny lights are light-emitting diodes. Despite the lack of insulation covering the live wires, Glowstems pose no electrical threat, nor any other kind, to Pikmin or leaders. Glowstems can be of several colors.

Notes
Olimar's observations
- “You know, on my last trip here, I was sure that these plants were indeed living things, but I'm not quite sure now. They almost seem like the glow they produce isn't natural.”
Cookin' with Louie
- “Inedible. Known effects include uncontrollable episodes of impromptu break dancing.”
