Lockus

Lockus

The Lockus is a plant that allows to disable fellow plants for as long as you like. Like a Pumpkin, it can be planted around a plant and plants can be planted within it's petals, and by doing so, the targeted plant will soon stop it's function like shooting, producing sun/currency or what this plant is most suited for; stopping single-use plants from being consumed.

Usage
By placing it on a plant, the latter plant will stop working and will be functional once again only if you re-click the Lockus, it dies or if you dig it with the shovel. This plant is excellent for delaying the use of Cherry Bombs, Jalapenos and Squashes, allowing to plant many of them instead of waiting for their extremely slow recharge time. Think of it as the Coffee Bean for non-nighttime plants. It can also help if you want to keep a specific Zombie alive for a little bit of time.

Suburban Almanac Entry
Lockus

Wraps it's petals around fellow plants and disables their use for as long as you please.

"Often a target of suspicion by fellow plants, Lockus often finds herself watched over by undercover plant agents so as to assure that she isn't a double agent working for the Zombies. "I guess I still need to work on these trust issues..." she says, shrugging off the skeptics."
