When planting cuttings for saplings, do the pots have to be checked every game day for 20 real days? or every 24 hours for 20 days?

Ok I hope this post helps all of you new sapling growers out there.

First and most important, saplings can only be grown from tree cuttings which are dropped off Gobbues in various areas. Getting these drops can require some patience even with TH2, so be patient and eventually you will get lucky. I struggle with the argument of it being quicker to farm other things for gil and then just buy the cuttings to plant. By this argument, it would also be quicker to skip the cutting stage and move right into saplings (if you plan to grow ores). Decide which is best for you. I personally enjoy being self sufficient.

Now then my experience has shown that the day on which the sapling is planted makes very little difference. Remember, in planting a cutting, you are guaranteed a sapling result. As for pot, porcelain will decrease the grow time by a little. As for whether or not you should run out and buy all porcelain when your MH is already full of a different type of pot? Unless you plan to become a full time grower, don't bother. The time shortened is only about a day, and doesn't effect the results. I initially bought 4 porcelains replacing 4 of my bronze pots. I had a good string of drops getting 6 cuttings in one day (about 2 hours). I decided to go ahead and plant in my bronze to compare the difference in yield. There was none. I acquired 2 saplings from each pot. Of note, not all the plants were planted at the same time. I waited to see if I could find more porcelain pots for superstition sake. Eventually I went ahead and planted them.

Eventually you will be prompted to feed a crystal. DO NOT FEED CRYSTALS IF YOU WANT SAPLINGS!! No crystals are required for saplings, just time. After about 20 days, your harvest will be ready. Before harvesting, examine the plants! There are two different messages that can be generated.
"Kupo! This plant is ready to be picked, kupo!"
"This plant has grown so big and is ready to be harvested, kupo!"
(These are para-phrases as I can't remember the exact wording, but this is close enough to recognize the correct message you're looking for)

I have never received less than 2 (yes 2!!) sapling when harvesting after the the moogle says the first message. Remember you can examine the plants more than once to get the right message.

Well, there it is folks, the secret to hq harvest is out.

Okay I read all the posts. Just to make it perrrfectly clear~ what am I supposed to plant to get tree saplings? And what crystals am I to feed them to make them grow? is there a particular day i should plant them? Oh, and do I need a special flower pot? should I be a Taru to garden? should I garden with my gear on, or should I strip all my armor and garden all natural? any help on this subject would be kind. >^-^<

I got 3 of this harvesting Tree Cuttings, planted on Arcane Flowerpot and harvested Darksday 98%. None crystals used.

will oak table give me a bosti have 7 maple and 3 wokbenches in my mh and i am gonig ot try to grow them and i know oak is alot better then the maple and workbench will that help my odds of a better harvest? ps i have mogchant ment gardening already

as in 2-3 weeks you mean vanadel time?

Anyone know where to find recipes for the elemental ores? I'm working on getting goldsmithing up and will one day be making the gems and I REALLY dont want to have to shell out 100k+ for EACH SYNTH. And in response to the last post about erasing the recipe list that was on here earlier, this won't be stealing anyone else's profits...if I can't grow the ore, I won't be using it in synths until I can and I'm not going to be selling these.

Seeing as each of the seed types are affiliated with an element, are saplings also affiliated with one?

I went to that website about gardening, that had the spreadsheet, pretty nice stuff

anywayz, I got ice ore in a rather odd way

i planted some saplings in a Brass pot, no idea which day, then I fed no crystal the 1st time, then i fed it a ice crystal on iceday the 2nd time, then I harvested on iceday and got ice ore :D

i also had another saplings growing, which I gave no crystal, then 1 fire crystal on firesday, then harvested on the same day as above, and got 3x reishi mushrooms out of it


I think that ice ore harvest is very o.0

I've been tring to harvest Ice Ores for 2 months now and none yet. I plant on Darksday,fertilize on Iceday and i end up with 9-12 Platum Leafs. Can anybody please tell me what i'm doing rong.

you can grow these in almost any kind of pot ( i'm refering to cuttings) jsut leave them there and check em 2 or 3 times a day and grows saplings, then you can sell for small profit or garden with the saplings.

If i plant the cuttings on Iceday should i feed them ice crystals on iceday as well...? i am very interested in gardening and have started taking notes on what i do. If anyone has any suggestions on what i should do to get the best results, please send me a response or e mail me at
crimzendeth@verizon.net thanks ^^

Incredible, Just incredible.

I don't know about what drops Tree Saplings, only Tree Cuttings (Goobues). As far as why Tree Saplings are valuable? You can use Ice Crystals + Tree Saplings and grow Ice Ore. It takes a VERY, VERY long time but check your local AH under Goldsmith for Ice Ore and see the price. Well worth if to me.

I found out today that there is a maximum of 10 pots you can grow at a time, I did not know this, and thought it useful information for all that were wondering.(Information attained on another thread and may be incorrect. I have not tested this information yet.)

Here are some results for you guys to chew on for Tree Saplings:

Planted 6 Tree Cuttings in 6 Porcelain Flower Pots: I don't care what day I plant/harvest. And I did not feed them anything at all.

I wake up in the morning, check pots, go to work, come home, check pots, Play, check pots, sleep...

Results: From the six pots, after about two weeks or so I got 9 Tree saplings. NO FAILURES. And I picked em on random days at random times and all kinds of moon phases.

Strangely, I have one still growing... It's been growing for a little under a month now... I am tempted to call a GM on it...

Furnature during the time I was growing this batch:
6 x Porcelain Flower Pots
2 x Workbenches
1 x Maple Tables
3 x Flower Stands
1 x Bronze Bed

Moghancement: Gardening

I now have a wall lined with Maple Tables and 9 pots. Going to get one more pot and grow Tree Cuttings in four, and Tree Saplings in four.

I'm sortta bragging, but I think this information would be relevant in the future for any one thats going to plant and try to attain the same result as me.

my settup looks like this now:

10(max) x Porcelain Flower Pots
2 x Workbenches
4 x Maple Tables
3 x Flower Stands
1 x Noble's Bed
