Planting and Care Instructions for Sweet Potato Slips

Upon arrival, your slips may appear dry and wilted; this is normal after transit. Unwrap them and place them in a cup of water to rehydrate for a couple of days. If minimal root growth is present, leave them in water for at least a week until new roots form. Change the water daily, adding a little hydrogen peroxide and/or rooting hormone to aid the rooting process. Place the cup in a sunny window to acclimate them to full sun. When the slips have recovered, plant them in loose, well-drained soil as deep as the first set of leaves. Water them well after planting. If not hardened off, provide shade for at least one week until established. Keep them well-watered and avoid letting them dry out. Enjoy the process of growing your own delicious and nutritious orange sweet potatoes!
