Upon arrival, it’s normal for the sweet potato slips to appear dry or wilted due to shipping. The condition of the leaves is not critical as long as the stem and roots are healthy. To rehydrate, simply unwrap the slips and place them in a cup of water for a couple of days. For slips with minimal root growth, leave them in water for at least one week until new roots form. Remember to change the water daily and consider adding a little hydrogen peroxide or rooting hormone to encourage robust root development. Ensure the slips receive ample sunlight to aid their recovery and stimulate new leaf growth.

Once your sweet potato slips have recovered and established some roots, plant them in your garden in loose, well-drained soil. Bury them deep enough to cover the first set of leaves. Water them thoroughly after planting and provide shade for about a week to help them establish, especially if they have weak root systems. Consistent watering is key; ensure they don’t dry out in direct sun. Enjoy the rewarding experience of growing your own fresh, delicious sweet potatoes!
