Hi. Either from filling a boat order that offers them as part payment or occasionally from treasure chests. You'll never get ahead collecting 'stairs' though. It will always be the thing you're waiting for! The only way round this is to upgrade without them and see how much it wants to charge you for the missing 'stairs'. (Cost in gems).
Hope this helps.

How do I use the jade and ruby treasure chests? I bought 4 and can't find them

They're a rare item. You can't buy them with gold. If you have enough gems you can buy them that way. If you can't/don't want to buy them, you can find them in treasure chests, in treasure dives, or from pets, if you have any. I've even gotten storage expansion items from critters, crabs, clams, jellyfish... good luck!

You remove the trees by using an axe. You can earn an axe by opening a treasure chest to fulfill a boat request or to buy the at the bazaar with pink stars.

The potions come from the big purple octopus, occasionally from the treasure chest hermit or purchase at world market

There are several ways, none really better than the others. 1) From turtles & otters when you collect sea resources from them, 2) From clams when you tap them, 3) From other players via the market (FYI, the most expensive option), 4) In treasure chests (random dailies & relationship level ups), and 5) In treasure dives (this can also be an expensive option). All are sporadic, in my experience. I know it's not easy, but be patient, and stay diligent.
Once you get to the point where you have a little wiggle room in your treehouse storage, and you know you have recipes coming up that you'll need to buy from the bazaar, keep extra in your inventory. I'm at level 35 now, but for the last 10 levels or so I've had no less than 12 pearls in my inventory at any given time, and up to 24 on a couple occasions. That way, when a recipe unlocks, hopefully I've already got on hand what I need to buy it.
Good luck!

You have to trade for them, find them in seal dives, or find them in treasure chests. Same with all the other storage expansion items.

You have to unlock the powder keg recipe at the bazaar, then buy it, obtain black powder from Dreadbird, the market, or a treasure chest, then finally wait 12 hours while the blacksmith does his/her magic.

It's a very rare item. I got 1 in a trade with Dreadbird, 1 in the market, and I think I got another in a treasure chest.
