How to Grow Yam Seedlings From Leaves and Vines. A step by step guide 

please when do I know it time for harvest (my yams)?

​@@justobiiu7231 it's time to harvest when all the leaves are going dry and brown.

Can I administer this to one planted on a bag?

Thanks for your kind words my brother, the most suitable yams will be selected over October to January and kept on soil till January when yams start growing. They will be indoors and they should grow fast. By spring the leaves will be ready for cutting and planting. These leaves in the video are from my old plant and are not likely to survive...I think they can sense their dormancy time. The original yam is still in the soil. My regards to the family, Lilian

Wow, thank you!Many kisses and hugs back to you/ I'm oh so uplifted to read from you. thanks so much.

Can I cultivate the leaves of 7months old yam planted at farm

So nice of you and very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to see this alternative way of growing yams that is much slower but guaranteed to give bigger healthier yield.

Thanks very much for your feedback.It's appreciated. I have been trying to improve on dips in my voice and my camera range. Thanks for the kind compliment and best of luck.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback. I will work hard to bring usable verifiable and adaptive content always. Thanks so much . I pray you're both having a lovely sunday. Take care.

Great is your lectures I am in that business and this your informative lectures will help me a lot in my yam business. God bless you in every department of your life.

Thank you! Cheers!

Glad to read my video was helpful! Thanks

Oh yes, I'm looking forward to your move. ...and you are very welcome to question me on the yams and taro. I like them as wel and taro leaves are medicinal. Just great reading from you. Lilian

Indeed very informative. This is the greatest secret of growing yams that is diseas resistant. Thanks for watching.

Good to know. Thanks for coming along. and yes yuo could look out for the yam.

Also how many months would it take to grow these yam seeds.

Wonderful!I will be so happy to hear your testimonies . Take care and God bless.

If you start growing in January you will have usable leaves by March . The leaves will root and produce yam seeds by harvet time in September October. i will say ten months and you will have hundreds of yam seeds from a few yams. Please do a selection of good quality yams.

Amen Thanks and warm love back to you and yours. Have a lovely week

Thanks, much appreciated

Yes, it's really interesting to produce hundreds from one plant.

Thanks so much. Happy Sunday

Awesome! Thank you! I'll be visiting your garden Kristie is my good youtube friend.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

Thank you too Always nice to see you.

Glad it was helpful! Watch this video of the same title I made, if you want how to do it like the researchers do it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rSDBN7DLKHc.html

I'm so glad it has been helpful. The yam will thrive if grown undercover. Thank you for your message.

So nice of you. Thanks and welcome. See you in a mo

More to come! Thanks for being here briefly.

Oh yes, it just gives a relatively smaller seed but bearing this in mind I'll be on my toes with planting asearly as possible hence the prepping in the next three months. Thanks for being here.

Hurray for a useful class. I will try it.

Thanks so much, always glad to read from you.

I will ike to read about your success. Best of luck.

Thanks for your reply. I have a year plan of doing 5k yam in a bag this year and a million yam in abag by 2027. Your detailed presentation of propagating seedlings from leave have really been helpful in ok overcoming the issues of seed availability

So nice of you to visit. Oh not suitable for places with short summer months. I appreciate your very specific understanding that the yam needs a stretch of warm months.

Thank you so much sis. I'm glad too. much more love to you. God bless.

Thanks for visiting

Thanks always slim

@@LiliansGardens yw

You are so welcome!

Thanks and welcome

Yeah

Thanks for watching.

Noted.

It is very interesting and reduces occurence of diseases in yams.

Thanks for visiting

Thank you so much!!

Oh yes it is claimed to be more nourishing, but then the practice is being discarded. If I cooked yam with the skin on I wonder if anyone would eat it. I wiss roast yam too. Thanks for watching.

@@LiliansGardens If they don't want it with the skin, you could remove it after cooking. It should be easier to peel as is the case with banana cooked in the skin.

Oh yes, the skin will be easier to remove . They will just find it strange because the practice has been long thrown out.

Thank you

Thank you very much for your kind words. You gladden my heart.

Oh ye, this way we get more new yams from a single yam head.

I appreciate your encouraging comment very much . i will carry on with the mission. My link got cancelled because no one responded to it for months. I will try to set it up again but in the meanwhile you could purchase directly or in a shop. Thanks

6 weeks, 42 days.

I'm glad to read from you Lisa. I hoppe you have warm weather to grow the yams.

Great tip! Oh yes, the potash in ashes is great to improve the soil as well. Thank you.

Much appreciated

Thank you 🙂.

Don't we all learn great lessons from boring situations? This is an educational video, not entertainment. ...and you learned something. Your comment is actually quite interesting.

Watch the growing leaves here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gOlm2PR2NE8.html

All aspirin in the shops

Start it in soil and replant in 42 days.

Thank you very much. I will post more videos on this.

You can cut so many if the yam plants have largenumbers of vines. Yams always grow a lot of vines.

@@LiliansGardens tbanks

Only one or the other is required... not both.

Sure I 've pinned the measurements in first comment above.

It is best to plant the yam a couple of months before the rainy season. If the rains come in March then plant your Yam in January. The yam should be watered twice/thrice a week until the rains come, by this time the yams should have sprouted. Yes you may plant in part shade and stake upright. It ismy pleasure , thank you too.

Yes,. The leaves have to be rooted in a humid and shady location.

Glad it was helpful!

@@LiliansGardens 👍

Thank you 😋Iya laje. I'm always happy to see you here and there.

Thanks for your comment. I was earlierinformed the mixing of the stock solution is not clear so I have written it out in a pinned comment above.. Mix as a ratio of 2;1 in 100mls. This stock solution should be diluted 1:250. If your area of concern is not the stock solution you may let me know. .

@@LiliansGardens Thank you so much for making out time to respond to my comment concerning your video quality, output and finishing. That is really interesting. I'll keep you updated. Remain blessed and keep on the good job.

To increase the plant's resistance to disease.

Try over and over . It works so keep trying .

Those are good as well. They will actually work better.

Yes it does. Five months is the duration sunshiny spot is necessary.

The vines have grown into a yam plant , it's not yet mature enough to harvest. I am also impatiently looking forward to the seed yams.

The cut yam will grow vines The farmer can use the vines to produce some seedlings while the main yam is growing aswell.

Yes I will do that very soon. Earthworm manure is the best manure . Cow horse and poultry manure are also very good though they must beallowed about one year to rot down so they do not burn plants. About a small handful of manure per plant at start of season. I will make that video soon.

@@LiliansGardens Thanks for your quick response. I have access to pig manure can it be used in yam bag farming as well? Thanks.

Ten months . The yams will be seedlings . Replant these for another ten months

NPK is the content of common fertilisers. It may have any other name ... All fertilisers have N P K

Glad to hear that!. Thanks so much.

Acetylsalicylic acid commonly known as Aspirin is a prototypical analgesic with the chemical formula C9H8O4. It is also known as aspirin or 2-Acetoxybenzoic acid.

The head is asure way to get a quicker harvest but food is reduced as a result. Secondly the head roduces one new yam but the leaves will produce 300 new yams in two years, It's a long er option.

Hello friend, I will send you the links to my other video you mentionedon growing yams, I have made a few of them . Also I will upload the yam harvest.😊

Thanks I'll visit you back. Away right now. When I return

Thanks for your kind comment. You may plant the yam in November/December and keep an eye on it properly so it does not get damaged by pests. It will only start growing in January...you can almost set your clock by these yams. If it's already a growing yam the leaves will turn yellow and fall off... it's still alive but will go dormant and reawaken in January.

@@LiliansGardens ouk ma, even being planted in a sack bag and getting watering at the good time

@@hanaojobo3447 During its off season yit needs less water if the leaves have fallen off. It will return in January and you will get a much larger yam at harvest time 8 to 10 months later.

Seedlings in six montha...Six months.

It's to get rid of soil on the skin completely. Soil harbours nematodes and other microornisms whichare harmful to yam specifically.
