Im not sure if this is a bug or not or if I'm doing something wrong.
Here's what I've experienced.
Firstly, the fireblossom plant itself spawns very rarely in the underworld for me. That alone provoked me to attempt to set up a farm for it.
Second, I've only had one naturally spawned plant drop seeds. One seed exactly. So I took that very delicate treasure of mine and tenderly transported it to my home base, where I prepared a flower bed of ash blocks 6 wide and two high on the ends.
Next, I planted the seed. Day after day I checked the progress of my seedling. But the fireblossom did not bloom. I read in the notes on the wiki that the flower must be partially submerged in lava to bloom.
So, I dumped a bucket of lava and boom, it bloomed immediately.
I harvested the fireblossom and once again I was awarded just one seed. So, I decided to change my strategy. I took that one seed and placed it in a clay pot.
Days and days in game went by. Actually, realistically, several RL days went by. The fireblossom finally blooms. I harvest it, with my Staff of Regrowth, still no seeds.
What the heck?
So I make my way into the underworld once again. Bearing my Staff of Regrowth, now reforged to be "lucky". And sporting my newly crafted Platinum Watch. And I carefully combed through the entire biome.
I found a cluster of fireblossoms blooming, all scattered within 4 blocks of each other. I struck the first one with my so-called "Lucky" Staff of Regrowth, at 3:50pm (just to be safe). No seeds.
I waited until 4:30pm for the next. No seeds. Then 5pm. Nothing. Then 6:30pm. Nada.
I'm a little confused. Is there something more efficient I can do?
I thought any herb will grow and blossom in a clay pot. All of my other herbs grow faithfully and yield an excessive amount of seeds. More than I can realistically plant.
Thoughts?
