Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your orange sweet potato slips is straightforward, ensuring a bountiful harvest with proper attention. Upon arrival, it’s crucial to rehydrate the slips. Place the cut ends in a cup of water for a couple of days. If root development is minimal, allow them to sit in water for up to a week, changing the water daily and adding a rooting aid if desired to encourage strong growth. Once roots have formed, your sweet potato plants are ready for planting.

For optimal growth, plant your slips in loose, well-drained, sandy soils. Avoid heavy clay soils, as they can hinder tuber development. Plant the slips as deep as the first set of leaves, ensuring good contact with the soil. Water them thoroughly after planting and provide shade for at least one week to help them establish without stress. These plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Proper spacing is key for maximizing your yield: plant 10-12 inches apart along the row, with 4 feet of spacing between rows to allow the extensive sweet potato vine to sprawl. While adaptable, these sweet potatoes perform best in USDA hardiness zones 5-11. Fertilize with a balanced vegetable fertilizer once established and continue throughout the growing season as needed. Monitor for pests and diseases, though our variety offers good resistance.
