No message "the jungle grows restless"

[Stellinator]

I defeated the three mechanical bosses, and this message didn't appear immediately. So i waited a in-game week (i know thanks to the enchanted sundial) and still nothing. Tried to defeat again the three bosses and nothing. In the discussions i found an advice suggesting to use Tedit but there are no world files. My last idea is to cheat to take the temple key, beat the golem and hope it triggers the post-plantera changement. Anyone have another idea to trigger this message?

did you check the jungle for the bulbs?

[magma]

if there arent any bulbs than maybe you can make a new world, beat plantera there and take the jungle key to the original world

Just to be sure, you did all the normal progression until the mechs bosses, right? You didn't just used the mechs summons in a brand new world (not edited by TEDit), or used in a world where you already beated the mechs bosses before but you forgot?

This, after all this hours since the first defeat of all the bosses i managed to find just one bulb [after entering the temple in trying to bypass plantera with golem's fight (it didn't work)], so i guess i just need to wait a veeery long time. Thanks to you all

No this is my first world, so i did everything normal until now

In worlds that aren't in hardmode you could defeat the mech bosses and Plantera wouldn't become available because the game specifically only checks for the boss kills after WoF has been killed. But from the sounds of it Plantera did unlock properly just oddly without the status message, and it's normal to not find many bulbs as they spawn very slowly and could have generated anywhere in the underground jungle.
