Upon arrival, your sweet potato slips may appear dry and wilted, which is normal. The key is to ensure the stems and roots are healthy. Unwrap them immediately and place them in a cup of water to rehydrate for a couple of days. If root growth is minimal, leave them in water for about a week, changing the water daily. Adding a little hydrogen peroxide or rooting hormone can help stimulate root formation, encouraging strong sweet potato vine growth. Provide airflow by gently moving the slips around in the cup, and place the cup in a sunny window to acclimate them to full sun and encourage new leaf growth.

Plant your sweet potato slips in loose, well-drained soil as deep as the first set of leaves, ensuring they are well-watered and shaded initially to prevent sun damage before they are fully established. These sweet potato slips are ideal for a variety of climates, thriving in loam soil across USDA zones 5-11.
