Unfortunately, with the newest update, floating plant, or plants that are simply not put on the ground, can no longer survive the trip to elder. They are no longer able to be targeted by area spells, which normally would not be a problem, however there is not one targeting spell for killing pests. Now vases are quite possibly the most useless things you can own, as you cant put it anywhere you couldnt already just use a soil spell. I suggest to design the area spells to only affect items on the same level as the targeted item. This way we can place plants on items like tables, or the such. If this is possible i would love to make my plants go to new exciting places in my house.
