Spriggan: Sure thing. First, make sure the leaves you’re using get plenty of direct sun—thin, broad leaves like those of a maple or a birch do best at photosynthesizing. Keep the leaf base moist but not soggy; a damp mulch will help. Watch out for pests—spider mites and aphids can cut your output in half. If you can, add a few small, hardy succulents nearby; they’ll shade the leaf base at night and keep the soil from drying out too fast. Lastly, keep the system tidy—dead leaves clog the light channels, so trim regularly. That should keep your leaf‑energy tree humming for a while.

Sounds daring, but remember the forest isn’t a launchpad. Leaf energy is great for light and small devices, not rockets. If you’re going for a big jump, you’ll need a real propellant—maybe some compressed air or a dry ice burst. Keep the leaves in a safe area, and don’t let curiosity burn the whole grove. Stay cautious, and I’ll watch from the trees.
