There are a total of 4 Star Plants in the world. Locate energy rocks around them and connect the growing plants to them. Find the growing plants that are the closest to the targeted energy rocks and use them to connect these energy rocks to the Star Plant. Each energy rock will allow the Star Plant to grow by some amount. The game will show you how many the Star Plant has to connect with. If you almost reach an energy rock near the end of the growth period of your plant, you may be able to reach it using the last slow portion of the growth. If you don't reach an energy rock on your current attempt, you can use the new growing plants on the sides of the one you just grew, or use a now accessible one near your new area which can reach the targeted energy rock easily. One of the Star Plants is in the purplish biome with lots of Champolines. Use this one to reach the first part of M.O.M. Another one is in the Desert Biome. Vineland has a third Star Plant, which begins off the ground on top of a huge mountain. When you're ascending to the Moon, you'll have to climb a series of rocks up until you reach a floating island with an air blasting volcano. Use this to reach another series of rocks and climb those. Then, use more floating, thrusting and launching plants to reach a huge island. This has a Star Plant on it, which doesn't require any energy rocks. Grab onto the white sphere at the tip and activate it. It will enclose you with its petals and grow towards a crater with the parts of M.O.M in it. This is needed to reach the Moon. Once you've flowered all of the Star Plants, you'll unlock the achievement.

There are four StarPlants to flower. To flower one, you need to grab one of its star shoots, and make it grow (press while holding its sprout), directing it to a power rock (floating rocks with glowing giant crystals below them). Every time you connect a sprout to a power rock, the game shows you how many more you need to fully flower the Star Plant in case.

Two of them are easy. One is a bit hard, and the last one doesn't need power rocks to flower (as it's rooted on a massive one), being the one you use to get to the moon.

You'll notice a Star Plant while travelling around the world. They are generally surrounded by power rocks, and are huge compared to other lifeforms.

There are a total of 4 Starplants that you need to "flower" for this achievement, and surprisingly the game doesn't really direct you how to do this. So what you need to do is first, when you find a Starplant (the huge towering plants in the approximate center of each biome), there will be small "arms" sticking out of it in various places. You need to grab onto the end of one of these arms and press to grow the arm, and then guide it into an "energy island" hovering nearby. This is what the game doesn't really explain until you inadvertently do it for the first time.

Around each Starplant are islands hovering in the air at varying heights, and there are certain islands that have a colored underside. So in the first area, the underside of the energy islands is orange, in the desert area, the underside is yellow, and in the dark glowing biome the underside is purple.

How I recommend you approach this is once you get to a Starplant, start from ground level and look up so you can see the underside of lots of islands. Find the lowest one and grow an arm into it. You'll see a counter pop up of how many more islands you need to connect to. Again look up and find the next lowest one and repeat. It's much easier to work your way up from the bottom, because once you're up top, it's impossible to tell which islands have colored undersides.

The Starplant in the starting area takes 5 islands, the desert area one takes 7, and then the dark glowing area one takes 8. The islands start getting really high so you may need to fly around the Starplant trunk to get a better view on various sides. Thankfully the fourth Starplant, which you use to get to the moon, just requires you to get to the top of it and grab the bulb on top and press . It will automatically flower and take you to the moon.

Once you've gotten all 4 Starplants to open up, the achievement will unlock.
