Tried growing a garden in planter boxes in a basement. Most of the plants died off after a while, I think it was grapes that held on but never grew fruit. When I moved them up to the surface they almost immediately started growing fruit and thriving.
Biggest surprise of my basement garden experiment was that the mushrooms all died.
@JustMeAlb hmm; I've done basement gardens several times & have never had any plants die. Though if I remember right, the last time I did I got "failed to germinate" messages when trying to plant in a planter pot or box. Had to plant them outside *then* go in to build mode to move them to the basement. Was a right pain.
The case I mentioned could have been related to a glitch I've seen occasionally where a garden will grow to full but not seem to progress, they don't grow fruit/flowers and don't need watering etc, until the game is exited and restarted. Happened to me just last night, for several in game days the plants didn't show any change except declining quality, then after I exited and restarted the game all the plants had fruit on them and looked in bad need of watering.
In the case I mentioned earlier it's possible I did something that cleared this glitch, don't recall all the details, just assumed sunlight was required for gardening. And I recall that traveling away from the lot and back often clears glitches like this, I just tend to exit the game and restart to preventatively clear other glitches that I may not yet have seen happening.
