How to Grow A Potato Vine Plant

If you want to grow a sweet potato vine plant, all you need to do is to follow the next steps. Is easy and inexpensive to grow, and is a very sweet decorative plant for any home. This solution can pe perfect for a kitchen windowsill.

How to make:

Take a sweet potato that has several eyes.
Stick four or more toothpicks or shortened skewers into the middle of the potato. Suspend the potato in a wide-mouth glass jar resting the toothpicks on the glass rim to support the potato. Fill the jar with water until it covers some of the eyes on the bottom of the potato.
Place the jar in an area with filtered light and watch the roots grow and the eyes sprout.
When the plant has developed a good root system and has grown at least three leaves on each sprout, move it to a pot and cover the roots and the potato with soil.
Clip the ends of the vines when they reach eight to 10 inches long to encourage a bushier plant. Fertilize the plant on a regular basis and enjoy the beautiful results.

Looks just like one of my favorite hanging plants on the patio. I purchased it from an estate sale and just love it. I’m sure that is what it is. I am going to plant some more.

  I bought a couple of sweet potatoes to try this out, after about a week and a half, I didn’t see any eyes, so I baked one of the potatoes with cinnamon. another week later and the second one finally developed eyes. teeny tiny little burgundy ones.
