Can I tell if any of the Deku look particularly stronger than any of the others?

None seem any stronger/weaker than the others in the room.

Also if your characters are taking their time discussing, the deku baba lured by Pha is slowly dragging itself to her.

I just realized that Jeremy had one too many languages so I don't know Draconic anymore.   :blush

First of all, @ Ano, all you need to do is lure one. Either of the rightmost or leftmost works well, since we can just use the trees as shields.

Realizations that Kurt can't make (Int & Wis 8):
#1, It occurs to me now, that Kurt, Pha, Zax, and Kong can all fly. Kurt's the only of them that doesn't have actual wings.
Jeremy can ride Ponyta. While this isn't flight, per se, +62 to jump is more than enough to simulate it.
So, really, if Kong carries Rabbit, then we should be able to just go around. (Rabbits Jump might be good, but not enough to stay out of bite-range.)

#2, As Pha said, leaving them upright, alert, and pissed, is not copacetic. Now, plants are not immune to subdual damage. Kurt, Jeremy, and his Pokémon are all quite good at inflicting that. Kong, Zax, & Rabbit can deal it too, with the -4 penalty on attack. So we can make these 'Pokémon' faint, if we want. @-10 with subdual would mean they would be unconscious for 10-11 hours.

We could just stand back and have our ranged guys carpet bomb them into submission, too. I love how we're held up by the moral dilema of plants.

Rabbit's trying to be the better person, and turn away from his Space Pirate training. Otherwise he'd light this entire place on fire and wait for the smoke to clear.

TBF, this isn't exactly like we're discussing whether to pull dandelions. These are Plant-typed creatures. They are creatures, more than plants.
They are possibly / likely being manipulated or augmented by various magics, based on what the pink faerie said about corruption. Even still, these guys might effectively be the guardians of this temple even when it isn't in this state, which means they're good guys being used for bad things.
This isn't like the Wolvos, where we had to take immediate violent action in order to defend ourselves. We really do have every reason to try to avoid seriously injury to these creatures for now, and no real reasoning to cause any more harm than necessary.

Because, yes, I realize full well that my Air Gun, is 6d4+2 damage / round, that can be slashing, at a range of 30ft, and that I have been w/i 25ft of one without being bit. So I could literally just kill them on my own without any risk of harm.

I'm going to wait on my actions based on finding out whether or not a 14 is good enough to get free from what is preventing my advance.

@ Osle
The new map doesn't account for the fact that Pha, at least, is in the room and has already lured one plant towards her.

Well... I'll just say that Pha will try a luring call on the other deku baba when her turn will return. Just so it gets moving as soon as the others state their actions.

Technically as written it is a single swift/move/standard action to speak, and thus keep concentrating on all the captivated creatures at once. If it isn't what was intended, it should be worded differently.
The original ability has no action to concentrate on the effect and speaking is normally a free action, so it is already a nerf by itself. At least until the Luring Call improvement, which should also be worded to specifically allow more than an action each round per target if you do change it.
