This is my first garden. Took me a long time but I got the sprouts..... Broke them off and stuck in water... Now I have wonderful roots on all my slips. Planting a 100 gal pot this upcoming weekend..... I'm so excited!!!!!
I didn't either I just grew them in the laundry basket and set it at the sunniest window. same with my potatoes. Just think of it as house plant while growing it. I put the large transparent trash bag in the laundry basket as lining. potting mix and the slips of the sweet potatoes. If you have a porch you can set them in the porch. anything can be use as a container, used cup or used pencil tray those can be use for micro greens. even the soda bottle can be use for growing lettuce.
I’m in the process of doing this and it takes a lost longer than 7 days to get to their “7 day mark”. This process takes about 4-5 months from first putting the sweet potato in the water to when you get the slips to plant.
Rapid start... general hydroponics, works wonders on all new starts. Also provides very necessary trace elements for cole crops works for both soil and hydro. If your in america also they spray you potatoes sweets and regular to stunt growth... basically they dont want it growing in storage and transit. Go to local farmers market buy local organic ones that haven't been hosed with poison. Hope this helps whoever...
I think may be the temperature and humidity is different? Since this vegetables grows fast in Vietnam in my case too, and this one does grow very fast here.
If you would of put the bottom ( fat end) in the water all the slips will grow from the bottom under the water with all the roots already on them . Then you can cut away from tube. But... very nice job . Thank you 😊
Climate is a big factor here. If you are not in a hot and humid climate, your potatoe will not grow this fast. Put on a heat pad for gardening. Keep in the warmest, most humid place you have! Otherwise do not become discouraged when this takes a lot longer than the video. 💕
Patricia Cain When? .. Do you mean we can cook the leaves from the slips? Or off of the vine while the sweet potatoe is growing or after we harvest sweet potatoes we can also cook leaves? Does your suggestion include cooking the stem?
If you want something that will stay green forever, don't get a crop plant that is supposed to be harvested. Get a plant just for decoration. Succulents are good, easy to grow and thrive on neglect. A jade plant, even an Aloe Vera plant you can even use that for medicinal use, to soothe burns and stuff.
This is a very slow way to get sweet potato slips! If you lay a sweet potato on its side on some moist medium it will start producing slips and each slip will have roots. At 6-8 inches long, you cut them back 2-3 inches and let grow for another few days. Then you simply separate the rooted slips from the "potato" and pot them up. Takes half the time your method does. Also, anywhere that the sweet potato vine touches the ground it will grow roots and produce more potatoes, so trellising should not be done.
@@leeLee-nh1vv The sweet potato is the FOOD for the slips to grow, so over time it will be used up. BUT, if some of the slips are allowed to stay attached to the sweet potato, and grow to maturity, at some point they will feed the 'potato' along with producing more 'potatoes'.
@@leeLee-nh1vv - Something to understand. If you are using a sweet potato from the grocery store, they sometimes won't sprout, they will just rot. This is because many producers spray them with a growth inhibitor. Look for one that already has some small nubs (eyes), they should do okay. BUT once you get one to grow, save a potato from that plant for future growing. If you are in a growing zone where you get freezing temps, you can bring them inside and grow them over winter if you give them plenty of light. You can also grow several varieties; there are purple, red, white, orange, and combinations of those with different inside flesh colors also.
Выращивала батат в Беларуси (1 штучку на пробу), очень красиво растет, даже маленькие бататики получились, очень вкусные, внуки сразу съели. Сейчас посажу больше и раньше.
Sweet potato plants grow really fast!! I used to use coffee cans (#10 can), to grow them in my apartment. But watch out of you put them on a table next to where you sit in the evening tio read our watch tv, they creep over to you over the course of a few hours if you're close enough. Lol
Hola hermano mío un saludos especial mente para ti Soy Roberto monney Des de Haïti 🇭🇹 felicitacion para ti mi señor por su trabajo suerte y Paz okey muchas gracias 🙏 siempre ATI
The easy way to plant sweet potato is, cut the leaves and even the top tinder part. Plant straight to the soil and regular water and sunlight it will grow much faster than this. And more branches come out.
Just put potato in a big pot with compost you will grow many potatoes from one the more you plant the more you get, in 3 months in hot weather, this is all unnecessary. It’s the same way to grow any potato. No need to do all this stuff in n the video.
I cut the top and bottom off my potato, wrapped them in wet paper towel and put it in plastic bag. After about three days I notice roots forming on one and leaves on the other!!! Gonna give them a couple more days then transfer to a pot.
I'M SORRY BUT WHEN I PLANTED ONE WHOLE SWEET POTATO UNDER THE GROUND, IT GROWS MANY OF THEM, THIS SWEET POTATOES BECOMES ROTTEN SERVING ALSO NATURAL FERTILIZER AND THEY NEW SWEET POTATOES COMES FROM THE ROOTS ITSELF, WHICH CAN GROW MANY AT CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM ONE ROOT BUT SINCE THERE ARE MANY ROOTS THEN MANY WILL GROW. SAME PLANTING PROCESSCAN BE DONE IN ANY BUCKET, THEY'LL GROW ALONE...YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THOSE STEPS!!! I LIVED IN A FARM IN CUBA AND GAINED THAT EXPERIENCE NATURALLY!!! BLESSINGS!!! 🥰🥰🥰😇😇😇
Trồng khoai lang như trên để lấy rau ăn hay lấy củ, sau đó chăm sóc thế nào,& giá thể trồng ra sao??? Nhờ bạn chỉ giúp cụ thể vì không phải mọi người đều hiểu như nhau. Cảm ơn bạn đảo có những hướng dẫn, để mọi người học hỏi. Cảm ơn bạn . Xin Chúa chúc lành cho những gì bạn đã chia sẻ cho mọi người.
What time of year did tot start your project? Did you change the water in the jar often, or at all? Did you add anything to the soil? How often did you water them? Why wasn't this info in your video? Thanks for the insight.
All I saw were 'plants' that MIGHT yield Sweet Potatoes. It would have been best to continue 'taping' the growth in SUCCESSION and then shown us the harvest of ACTUAL Sweet Potatoes from that grow bag. People are too QUICK to put up videos.
WOW!!! I've never gotten that type of results in 7 days. Not even after 15 days. I've tried it multiples times. I'll keep experimenting until I find the solution.
I think the 7 days with that kind of growth was a complete exaggeration. I tried it several times following his steps. I was very lucky to get few little roots after 7 days.
@@patpick5587 Just like spinach. Chop them up and boil lightly with some butter and your favorite spices. Goes good in soups, too. You can also eat raw. I've eaten them in salads and on sandwiches. Blend them into a smoothy. Different varieties have different flavors. I especially like the leaves from the pink skinned, white fleshwd varieties.
@@patpick5587 Yep, they make a good stir fry veg. Just chop them up to a size you prefer (3 inches is good), throw in some other veggies (or eat them on their own) and your favorite spices and you have food.
If you're doing this to grow food....put each slip in its own container so there is room for the potatoes to grow otherwise what was done was a waste of time unless all you desire is a pretty plant but not any food.
I love your channel , reminds me of growing up going to my grandma's house , she had all your plants! We do same techniques as you also ,i binge watch your channel✊
Did you change the water every three or four days? It can develop bacteria. Please watch other videos. It takes a long time for the first plant to come. When It comes. It will keep coming. Then, You can pull the plants off gently and place in water for rooting. You can put the plant that has rooted in a bucket to grow sweet potatoes. It will take months, but I grew them last year. It is hard work, but fun seeing and understanding the food process.
I read that grocers/distributors spray sweet potatoes with a sprout inhibitor. So frequently soak and wash the potatoes in distilled water. That is the closest water to rainwater you can use unless you keep a rainwater barrel under the roof gutter pipe. Then put the potatoes under a warm light (if it is winter) when the sprouts come out about 6 inches long you can simply break them off from the potato and put them in a glass of water. Then a bunch of roots will grow and then you can plant the slips in sandy loam. But I like to use a short barrel to plant them in because you will never find all your potatoes no matter how you dig. The roots go everywhere.
Hello, does anyone know what was I the water bottle they used to water the slips after planting? It looked like there were herbs in the bottle. To promote good growth or to keep bugs away?
@Here Beforeyou Actually, I only found out about it a few weeks ago. I haven't tried them yet. It looks legit. Other types of plants that I have actually tried, it was usually best to get young leaves.
Two potatoes shoots are enough for one backet of the size u used. So that they get enough space to produce the tubers. Enough sun shine is required too.
@@2008betwixt we still require 2 potatoes in one backet. It doesn't matter how many shoots come out of the two as some tend to be less shoots than others. The more the shoots the greater the possibilities of having more tubers produced if a right condition is prevalent.
