Plant tree in greenhouse?

No, it was a Money Tree. They're always in season. It didn't even plant. It reverted to fruit form. It may be the balcony ceiling. I tried it on a taller balcony elsewhere and it was fine. You'd think at least medium height would be enough clearance, but it only seemed to work at an apartment with high walls.

I had they happen (seed unplants itself) with tree seeds if you have them in a room without enough height or if your planter is too small (they need the square planter). Also, if it is a cow plant seed it will need more space around it - especially in front.

Yeah. It was a square planter. I guess most apartment balconies just aren't tall enough. It worked just fine on one with the tallest walls. I wonder, for city dwellers if it's possible to plant and harvest on public land (like the park). I know wild plants won't let me evolve them. If I can garden properly in a public area, maybe the city wouldn't seem so unfair for gardening. It's something I've thought about but haven't tried yet.

Just add a garden plot to the city park and it should work fine. No different than garden plots at any other park!

Garden plot? Not sure what you mean. I don't recall any gardens in the parks.

I'm having a similar issue but with an apartment balcony in San Myshuno. I'm pretty sure you can grow trees in a planter box if you put it in the centre, but when I tried it said the plant "failed to germinate". Not sure what's wrong.

You're getting that message because there's a roof over the balcony so the tree won't be able to grow. In order to grow trees indoors you need to have the tallest walls. The balconies count as indoor because they have roofs over them.

I was able to grow a money tree on a balcony in SM, but I used the planter bowl (holds a single plant) rather than a planter box (holds 4 plants or one tree). Grew fine for me. And I still had out of season plants so the balcony doesn't count as indoors or "sheltered" for some reason -- not sure if that's a bug or not.

You can create gardens on any lot -- just go to any community lot with dirt and plant your stuff. I think you have to go water them yourself but if you put in a sprinkler that would work as well. I'm not sure if you can plant in the "public areas" or only on actual lots.

You're right balconies don't count as a room unless they have a fence. How far from the wall did you plant your tree? Planters may have to be close to the edge of the balcony to grow trees.

As far as I'm aware you can only plant your own plants on the lot spaces and not on the "outside" neighborhood area. In fact, Hare Square, a park that came with Windenburg, has garden plots with plants in them already planted!

Although there was one time where I had a glitch that this piece of trash became a trash plant but was in between the border of my house lot and the neighborhood, so it counted as being in both but I couldn't remove it, so I let it die slowly and was able to trash it then.

I didn't see any planters at Hare Square. I went there for a Garden Gnomes Club meeting yesterday and looked around for club activities to do. I couldn't find and frog logs or cultivatable plants. All I could do for Club Points was go fishing. paradiseplanet is right about not being able to plant outside of lots it seems. I tried planting a Christmas Rose on open soil and after my Sim placed it on the ground, I couldn't interact with it at all, even to pick it back up. Maybe it will grow on its own like his Trash Plant, if I'm lucky.
