Plant tree in greenhouse?

I have a greenhouse with a dirt floor. I planted strawberries and snapdragons which worked just fine. Then I planted a plantain and an apple, and they disappeared.

Is it because they turn into trees?

    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.


    This is my first time visiting the park in this save:

    Here you can see the two planter boxes (with plants already in them) here in the winter snow. Perhaps you weren't looking near the chess tables? I didn't notice them there the first few times either because they're tucked out of the way.

    That is gorgeous. I wish I was more creative

    My sig pic? Thank you :) I am Usually really bad at doing gardens so I forced myself to work on them, this was my first attempt, took me forever lol.
  • I'm trying to do a Fallout challenge. I'm trying to grow plantains/apples in my hydroponics bay, but they don't germinate. From the responses on this thread, it seems like I should branch of another room specifically for the trees, give it the tallest walls, and it should work. Any other tips for indoor growing? I'll be doing a lot of it...

    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.


    When I get that message, it goes on to read that you should try planting in a larger area.
  • I have two greenhouses and trees grow just fine. Still, I recommend planters for tidy and organized setup.

    The medium or tall walls are the only real requirement to grow indoors.
