I think there are multiple actions that can cause reverting and that’s why it is so hard to fix.
I have gotten used to harvesting before tending to other things with my plants too. I try to save before harvesting, before fertilizing, before tending, before going to another lot or into CAS, and before evolving. I save very often now. If plants revert I get out of my game without saving and go back in. Of course sometimes I get complacent, and forget to save at some point….. and yep sometimes 1 or more plants will revert.
I have had the reverting problem for years now.
@LaBlue0314 someone mentioned that you should fast forward between before 5 am - 9 am. This does seem to be one thing that usually works for me. Then I harvest all plants like @OmniNerd42 first, and then I save ( if reverting occurs later I can get out of my game without saving and go back in ).
These are other things people say might be a culprit……
They say ……
Don’t use the great soil trait ( I no longer use the trait ).
When the season changes even in season plants ( inside and outside ) may revert, I have experienced this.
Some say they revert if you go to play another household and the season changes.
Some say if you have over 16 plants or more, you are more likely to experience reverting.
Some say if you que up plants to fertilize more than one plant with the same fertilizer ( example Que up fertilizing Plants to all fertilize with apples rather than one plant a banana, the second plant an apple the third plant an onion, etc. ) that reverting happens. I now always use a different type of fertilizer for each if I can and never use the same fertilizer twice in a row now.
Some say if you use lower quality fertilizer ( I believe they mean a fertilizer worth less than $50 ), that you may experience reverting. I always use cheap fertilizer….. sometimes my plants revert after fertilizing, sometimes they don’t, same thing with evolving plants so I save before each of these actions.
You may want to look up other threads on reverting and dirt piles, and read through them too.
