Also called Resilio bulbus, this magical plant is able to jump around, when not restrained. Purple in nature, Bouncing Bulbs consist of a bulb shaped plant, with several green leaves sprouting from its top. To care for this plant, it is best to have a bathtub's worth of dirt (neutral pH level), in a relatively bright area. Centaur tears are best when watering. Young Bouncing Bulbs are easy enough to handle, though if they wiggle free they often try to hit you in the face. Bouncing Bulbs have the ability to grow to the size of doorways; therefore, it is important to recognize signs of aggression from a Bouncing Bulb, as well as how to subdue them.

When threatened, Bouncing Bulbs tend to jump towards anyone they view as a possible attacker. If you see a Bouncing Bulb coming at you, it is safe to assume that is showing signs of aggression. Smaller Bulbs may be subdued with a knockback jinx Flipendo (fli-PEN-doh). The wand movement is a check-mark, hill, and then valley. Mitigating the hazard of a larger Bouncing Bulb requires fire, to which I recommend the spell incendio (in-SEN-dee-o). This spell's wand movement is quite literally the shape of a flame, although Herbologist Tilden Toots always found slashing movements to be equally effective. The fire causes withering of the bulb. Toots was fond of Bouncing Bulbs, and advertised help to Herbologists whose bulbs were losing height on his radio show. The bulb leaves are used in potions as an energy booster.
