Planter Box makes plants disappear??

This has happened a couple times for me, now.

The most recent instance is this: I used the copypasto spell to duplicate a grafted cherry/apple tree. This worked fine. I had 4 trees.

When I switch to build mode, and move the trees into planter boxes, they vanish and are replaced by small piles of dirt.

I tried duplicating them again, saving, exiting, then reloading before moving the trees to boxes. Same result.
.
Previously, I had this issue with some flowers (tulips, iirc) I had used copypasto on. I was able to recover the plants by moving the boxes, plants included, into my inventory and back out again. This did not work with the trees.

I've tried to look for previous solutions but this seems like a pretty specific thing and google didn't yield any clear answers.

I am not using any mods.

  • SOLUTION: Moving the trees anywhere results in them turning into dirt piles. However! If I move them directly into the household inventory from where they appeared after casing the spell, then move them back out, they fix themselves and will go into the planter boxes without a problem!

    Took some experimenting and guesswork to arrive here.
