huh, i swore sims could take cuttings from the starter version of the bizarre plant, but just checked and that doesn't seem to be the case
just checked that with my sim who already has several cuttings from wild plants in a slightly glitched instance of strangerville. shady acres has the tiny pods, which can't have cuttings taken, the downtown area has the second-stage plants that can be nurtured and cuttings can be taken from those
and yeah, what kara said about nurturing. it has the plant grow into the third-stage version, which lets your sim harvest a single fruit from it. each plant can only be nurtured once every 24 hours, and that's a set 24 hour period, not 24 hours from last time it was nurtured. so, if you nurture/harvest just before whatever the reset time is (i want to say it's the 5 am like for regular harvesting, but don't recall), you can basically do it twice in a row
Until I used the shift-click cheat, I didn't even have the option to nurture - I just had 'talk' and 'research' and occasionally 'fertilise'. I still wasn't able to graft to the bizarre plant, just take cuttings, but I grew a growfruit tree, and once it got big enough to have the 'graft' option, I grafted my cutting from the bizarre plant to the growfruit. Waited another couple of days for the growfruit to grow up again and voila! Four perfect bizarre fruit on my growfruit tree.
I have completed my perfect plant collection - aside from the vampire and pets plants (since I don't have those packs), I now have perfect specimens from every plant.
