Im gonna try building at the top of the world a big bridge made of asphalt and moss stone.I decided to take a slightly different route
this is my strange plant farm, 800 ft in the air and everything mined down to 0 level LOL
thanks @Yoraiz0r for making me spend 2 days sterilizing a section of the world lol
I think strange plants need a maximum 150-200 clear block radius, 700ft is WAY too much
Edit: also, 700ft = 350 blocks, so why 200?
I just pulled an arbritrary number out of the air, it seemed like a good idea at the time
This seems to be more and more clear. Reconnecting to a world seems to expose recently grown strange plants. In addition, if you are hosting your world on a dedicated server, you can do the settle command to expose them.So far I've found yet another 4 plants.
My best tip, next to building a great dirt bridge (which everyone here figured out by now) is, to host your world ONLINE and REHOST it every time you farmed all your stranged plants on the surface.
I just found nothing on my bridge (after letting my Terraria run overnight).
I rehosted the world online, and all of a sudden 6 Plants spawned on my bridges.
So for all of you struggling to find some, you might want to try to rejoin / rehost / restart your world, and check again.

Right now, i cant host(becouse of a bug), does it work if i do it on the console server? Or do i have to join for it to work?
If by console you mean the CMD looking program the game comes with, and you can download from the website as "server software", then yes. That's what a dedicated server is.Right now, i cant host(becouse of a bug), does it work if i do it on the console server? Or do i have to join for it to work?
He gives 3 dye for one plant.Okay, so I've continued looking everywhere... I've even done another world just for looking.
Not. A. Single. Plant.
Considering how many of these you need to have any hope of getting enough of the same dye to dye a full set of stuff, these plants are waaaay too rare.

Such a cooldown does not seem to exist for me. I sometimes refresh with a quick settle only 10 minutes after the last harvest and I'll have another plant.
My dirt bridge at 990 ft is capable of growing strange plants. It appears that on large worlds the limit may be in fact 1000 ft for growing dye and strange plants.
Dye plants grow on my bridge with an elevation of 990', but not on my bridge with elevation 1100'. The limit must be somewhere between those numbers, and 1000 seems probable, however I cannot say for sure.What do you mean? Large worlds need more space? (So instad of 700ft, 1000ft?)
Also, i started doing the same on another large world, i can go as high as 1020fts, and there are only 5 parts of the world that can get to ~350ft so it should be better.
