These sweet potato slips are renowned for their smooth, orange skin and impressively high yields, making them an excellent choice for both enthusiastic home gardeners and small-scale farmers. This particular variety is highly valued for its natural tolerance to common plant ailments such as fusarium wilt and internal cork, which contributes to a robust and productive crop. You can anticipate a generous harvest in approximately 90+ days from these vigorous, vine-type plants. The vibrant, uniform orange flesh of these sweet potatoes is notably darker, promising a rich flavor and appealing appearance.

Our sweet potato slips demonstrate strong resistance to prevalent diseases, including soil rot, root knot, fusarium wilt, bacterial root rot, and Rhizopus soft rot, ensuring a healthier growing experience. Before planting, proper rehydration is crucial. Upon arrival, unwrap the slips and place them in a cup of water for a couple of days. If root growth is minimal, extend the soaking period to one week, changing the water daily and adding a touch of hydrogen peroxide or rooting hormone to stimulate development. Ensure adequate airflow by gently moving the slips in the water and promptly remove any signs of rot. Place the cup in a sunny window for several hours of daily sunlight exposure.

Once the slips have recovered and show clear signs of new growth, they are ready for planting in your garden. Select a location with loose, well-drained soil, and plant the slips as deep as the first set of leaves. Water thoroughly immediately after planting. If the slips haven’t been hardened off, provide shade for the first week to help them acclimate to the garden’s sunlight intensity. Consistent watering is essential to prevent the soil from drying out, ensuring healthy development of your sweet potato plants. Enjoy the profound satisfaction of growing your own delicious and nutritious sweet potatoes right at home!
