Gardening with tree cuttings

[Cali]

I read that if I don't feed the plant at all for the 2 times it ask for crystal... I can get the item I want, but that idea sound too dumb to be true >_>;

Treecutting+nothing+nothing=tree sapling.

according to a japanese site.

anyone want to verify for me..? lol

[Borshel]

Correct. After 2 long weeks, my tree cutting turned into 2 tree saplings. Now we'll see if I can make cinnamon out of the saplings and go on a pie making binge.

I haven't found any info on what pot to use, can anybody tell me?

I've read plant on ice day, harvest on full moon. Anything else?

What about examining? Can I just neglect it all togeather? Or does examining it give it a better chance of turning into saplings? (With Dark Ore, I've read that the more you examine it the better chance you have. Not sure how true that is).

Unless cinnamon is really expensive, you'd probably be better off selling the tree sapplings and then buying cinnamon. The 2 saplings should net you at least 20k.

Mostly all Gardening Sites told that you have to use earthan pots ...
But at the moment i try to use ceramic pots becaus a high lv friend told my to use them with cuttings .... he told me nothing more .. just a wired smile ^^

[ZQM]

Thanks Mizu.^^

Can I have the links to the sites? I've just recently gotten into gardening and don't know much about it. Only some things I've read here/friend ingame. :sweat:

I'll go with Earthan Pot since multiple sites have said to go with that, but be sure to post how your results come out with Ceramic pot!

I've done that with brass pots and the result always seems to be 1-2 tree spalings. Planting and harvesting days do not seem to matter either.

Too bad the price on saplings has pretty much crashed, so there isn't very much gil to be made on those anymore. At least not on Midgardsormr.

I have grown saplings in all types of pots.

[Xccoortri]

Dont' sapplings sell higher then cuttings? And if this is a deffinite way to make sapplings...I could start making a slow fortune here...would take a while but I'd be slowly turning in a profit each time...

[Kafeen]

Yeah, on Ramuh cuttings are about 4k, saplings about 12k.

[chibbi]

I'm looking into dong htis. So it doesnt matter what day you plant and harvest on or what the moon phase is? Just check the plants everyday and dont feed it when it says you can give it a crystal?

[Kafeen]

Just stick 'em in a pot an leave 'em to grow. From what I've seen and tried as long as you don't feed them it won't fail.

[Caspian]

I just started planting tree cuttings too. From what I've read there isn't a whole lot to it. Plant it, check it everyday (I was in dunes for a cpl days and forgot to check it and it nearly died.), and don't give them any crystals and you should be fine. The only reason I can find that its not done often is because it takes about 2 weeks RL before they're done growing. But based on the AH prices when I bought the tree cuttings, I should get about 20k gil profit on each tree cutting.
Good luck to everyone on it.

Oh yeah....I went to Pikko's Pots for most of the information. I don't remember the url, but do a search on threads here for "gardening for profit" and it's in that thread somewhere.

[Kafeen]

It wouldnt have died unless you left it for a long time. If you don't give it a crystal you get the message 'It isn't looking to good but I'm sure it'll be ok now you've had a look at it' and you'll get that for a while then once it get's over it its fine again until it wants another crystal. Just don't feed it, it'll live.

Here is Pikko Pots! It is the really good website, especial for beginner. :)

Couple of things about growing saplings that I learned.

I used all Porcelain pots, thinking it would make the yield 2 sapling/pot, but that turned out to be false. It's random 1-2 saplings, and any pot can be used.

During the crystal feeding period, the moogle will say your plant isnt doing well. Dont panic, he's only saying that because it wants a crystal. Ignore him, and proceed as usual.

Check it at least twice daily if possible for best results (ie. more saplings)

Prices crashed a lot while I was growing them. When I started cuttings were 5-6k each, and saplings were 12k each. When mine were ready for harvest cuttings had gone down to 3k each, and saplings to 8k each :( They have still not gone back up, and I don't know if they will. A stack of saplings was 120K +, now only 75-80K.... very depressing.

Here I search the internet for you and find you guide so that you improve your gardens

http://ourgardengang.tripod.com/lasagna_gardening.htm

It is very helpful I hope I make new friend from you!!

Here is part of the guide, to show how much informative it can be!

"ASPARAGUS

Many gardeners shy away from this tasty crop, mainly because it's difficult to grow through traditional means. Not so with lasagna gardening. I still remember the first year I planned my asparagus patch. Turned out to be one of my best vegetable trials yet. For fun, I grew a tray of plants from seed, started indoors in February. In early spring, I added the small seedlings to the assembly of roots--one, two, and three years old--that I had accumulated to plant together."
