Never thought of keeping one as a houseplant. That is genius.
All I can say is wow! I’ve spent way too much time trying to find a video with a detailed explanation. Thank you!
Wish i saw this video few weeks ago. Had a sweet potato in water and it got rotten
After years of studying the majestic ways of sweet potatoes, I can confidently say this is the best video ever made on the subject.
Hi From Wellington New Zealand. Just been growing sweet potatoes for the last two years. Even in our temperate climate it can still be done. One thing I would say is that when you take the slips off the mother potato, if you dont cut it with clippers but just gently pull it out, you will have roots on the bottom and you will be able to plant out straight away!
One advantage of clipping is that the roots stay on the potato and make more slips. It only takes about 3-4 days to get a few roots on the cutting if you dip it in rooting compound.
We from phillippines we love potato leaves..😊❤for cooking
I'm laid up sick at the moment and discovering this channel has really cheered me up! thank you
Oh, that huge yard, plump rows of rich soil, full sun.... what a beautiful thing.....!!!!
I have watched around 50 UA-cams on sweet potatoes and sweet potato slips (i.e., Im allergic to the nightshade family so I cant eat potatoes and substitute white sweet potatoes)...and your video is the most helpful so far. You condensed the info really well. Thank you! :)
Yes, very good video. Ejoyable too!
The leaves taste like spinach with a sweet potato flare. They pair nicely with bacon and onion.
I love that you’re making the shorter videos for a quick instruction but I also watch your longer ones when I have the time. I appreciate all of what you offer. 😊
I love this. You're a great teacher. Gratitude, from a great granny, 82 years old, in big wide beautiful Montana. At 6,200 ft elevation, on the Continental Divide. Its so cold here at night that sweetbpotatoes have to be grown inside. I know. A gardener for 60 years. It was -45 degrees below zero here this winter. And it snowed all night last night. On March 24. And it will snow here until mid May off and on. And in the old days, every month of the year. Be happy and healthy from granny in Montana. Blessings sent your way. Happy gardening.
Grandma Montana in the house ❤.
Nice to hear from you. Don't think I've ever realized how high the elevation in Montana could be -- or how cold.
I just found your channel when this video popped up on my YT feed. Love that you call it a 'familystead'!! Thanks for the info on growing sweet potatoes!
I grow Okinawa ( purple) sweet potatoes. During the Covid lockdown, I planted 3 slips, I ordered in the mail.
They grow back themselves. I like to eat the leaves in a salad or juice them.
I already have two large sweetpotatoes growing plants in my kitchen! No water or soil, I've done this several times but never put them in soil because of my limited space. I'm ready to grow my own now thank you!😊
My grandfather taught me that in Jamaica 🇯🇲 yep I can't forget those days.
Really it’s more than a thousand because you can live off one potato growing sweet potatoes for a lifetime ❤🤴🏿👸🏾🕎
Facts!!!💚🌱

Wow, I love your video. Everyone won’t be hungry if they know how to grow their own food. I found your channel today and we subscribed. Great job , showing us your technique.
EXACTLY!!!!
Seriously one of the best vids on growing slips and planting them! Thanks for the clear explanations!!
Can’t believe Americans don’t eat sweet potatoes leaves. I’m gonna make a video about it! Cooking sweet potatoes leaves..u have to eat them because I learned to cook and love broccoli 🥦.u have to do the same 😂
Sounds delicious!
Love the leaves!!
One of the healthiest greens!
This American is going to start eating the leaves.🍃
Sounds fair. Post a video with a recipe.
Watching from Kenya, very interesting I have learned something from you
Thank you Family!!! We want to visit Kenya in the future💚🌱
hello from the sunny Caribbean island of Trinidad,been meaning to plant those babies ,you've given me that push ,thank u , proud of you !
Thank you for being so thorough in explaining specifically how we grow the sweet potatoes and you do what you do to get optimal results. Great video brother! I’m a new subscriber.
Thank you soo much Family!!! Thank you for subscribing to our channel!!!💚🌱
How often should I water it
I love how you say 'water'! I'm from coastal NC, and I say 'water' just like you do! Thanks for the info on growing sweet potatoes!
I would guestimate 17 slips would cost about $20-$25. Im growing sweet potatoes for the 2nd time this summer. Im growing the orange, Japanese, and Okinawan (purple) potatoes. I was able to keep the vines alive through the winter by planting them inside and sitting them in water. Then I planted them in my beds outside on March 3rd. They're doing very well.
I love the Okinawan sweet potatos they are so sweet
Hello, did you plant them just in water? How often did you change it out when you overwinter your slips?
How long it take for to reap the potatoes?
@@nikkinoos82 I just added more water to the madon jar when it got home. But it turns out that may not be the best method as I didnt have a good harvest this time. I think its best to use fresh slips whether grown or purchased.
You are so right. I planted sweetpotatos last year for the first time. They did really well. We had SP to eat all winter. I really enjoyed pulling them up . I bought my slips to start with this spring. I got them really cheap. Then I took some of my SP from last year and put them in water and some soil. Doing my own experiments. The soil method is so much better. Its 7-12-23, in NC . I'm getting ready to plant another batch of SP slips. This has become my addiction. Hope you have a great harvest .
🙏👍
I did regular rosette potatoes in a cardboard box. It was so cool. I've been watching UA-cam gardening for months and just now coming across your page.
I have actually kept those cuttings or slips in water over the whole winter period and they survived. Then i just plant them in spring. Instead of trying to store sweet potatoes and then first sprouting them and then take slips from them and then root them. I just take the slips and put them in water and then keep them in a spot where its not that cold and they survive through winter. Then i just plant them out immediately just before spring. Works like a bomb
Best video on growing sweets. Can’t wait to see the harvest video.
Really informative video! I have another way to further increase multiplication of plants a lot. Your idea of several indoor house plantings like a hanging baskets with two or three sweet potatoes planted in each hanging basket and they will create ALOT of pretty looking vining foliage. You can cut long sections of the vines off say one to two weeks before planting time and cut each stem that sprouts from the main vine and each one will have a node and that is the node that will create roots when the vine lays on the ground in the rows. Once you create these cuttings you basically are creating slips. Gather them and put them in a jar and in one to two weeks you’ll have more slips to plant. I also saw a video where the farmer took one row of vines and cut sections of say 3 sweet potatoe stems all together and just planted them into the prepared row to increase planting big time. Basically one row can turn into many rows of propagated sweet potatoes.
I appreciate your powerful teaching about sweet potatoes. I love them , that is one of my favorite vegetables. Thank you. I grade you Excellent .
We could solve hunger in the US if everyone planted a good food scrap garden.
Great information on sweet potatoes. Thanks for the comparison, and it makes sense. I am going to stick to potato in soil from now on. Take care
I think that you are amazing and the way that you speak to people is just so genuine that you make me feel good and I thank you for that and I joined your channel God bless you
Great info. We plant tye Murasaki “purple sweet potatoes are more prolific and even invasive (which is a plus). The purple potato vined everywhere in our backyard.
MINE TOO!!!!!
Thank you for the great information , very informative
Thank you for watching Family!!!💚🌱
Impressive! Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post this important information.
Thank you for the infornation😅 I have a lot of clippings now. I have been growing a sweet potato for A Long time and had no idea you were supposed to take the clippings off so so yes I have a lot of starters😂
Very nice educational, clear , informative, humorous video. Thank you.
You are so thorough with your instructions. You have motivated me. Thank you so much!!.
You are encouraging so many people out here to live the real life brotha! 👌🏼👍
Also just subscribed to your channel. Best wishes!!!!
Great work! Aloha from Kona, Hawaii 🌺

So glad I came across you on UA-cam, will being a sweet potato and start my slips!!!! Thanks 😊
Thanks so much for sharing!!!
No problem Family💚🌱
I enjoyed your video! It was relaxing watching it and I love your garden. Thank you for all the good information.
I just ran across your video and you are the best video for sweet potatoes that I have listened to and I've listened to a lot trying to figure out how to grow slips and how to plant the sweet potatoes and you made it so simple for me thank you so much I am now a fan
Box, that's a good idea, i have a lot of boxes from online ordering clothes and shoes hehehehe. Thank you.
I love listening to your voice!
Thank so much, i never know you can grow sweet potatoes this way.
I love growing things that I can eat the leaves of. You are so right about that!
I'm sooo glad I found your video! You answered all my questions in a clear, easy to understand way.
Thank you!
Thanks!! Can’t wait to plant mine this year. Went to start them tonight. Also cannot wait to try the leaves.
This is great! Last night I started pulling my slips off of my start potato. They were already rooted! just by covering them a little bit in some soil. Soil on the bottom but a bit of soil on the top.
Into the water they went and they'll root more.
Thank you so much for posting this video.
That's the leaves i want because I can cook and eat it fresh ❤
Great video! Greetings from Canada
Ok I'm inspired to try this. Thanks man!
I love these potatoes and i really engoyed you teaching
There is no reason for the world to go hungry with this knowledge.
You can also grow them from cuttings. Roots will come out anywhere it branches out. Take a cutting with leaves and put it in water. You will see roots in a week or two.
Fantastic video! Straight to the point !
Thank you as always! I do want to attempt to grow sweet potatoes soon so this video is saved to my playlist💚🌱
I grew murasaki sweet potatoes last year, purple on the outside and light colored inside, since we're a little more north, and they can take some cool weather. I really like the flavor of them. I have my slips going for this year. Next year I will start my slips earlier I think.
Great tutorial! Thank you for the detailed instructions! I feel more confident now, after watching your video. Happy Gardening!
Very good teacher
You are BRILLIANT my brother and stay blessed for sharing yo AMAZING tutorial😊
Great simple video, thank you
Thank You. Learned so much from this video.
I enjoyed your enthusiasm and appreciate the information! Thank you, young man! ❤
Loved your video. It was the first one that I saw for sweet potatoes, and I believe i was very lucky as you gave all the information that I need. Love and blessings to you 💝 🙏
I had zero idea that the leaves are edible (or how to start the seedling in soil). Glad I ran into your site.
Wow. I know I grew sweet potatoes in a box last year but only got about 8. This year I purchased a used rototiller and plan in the ground sweet potatoes. Thanks for the tip! I have a few from last year I didn’t find in my storage till they started sprouting. So I’ll do the box this year when it warms up. Thanks
Sooooh thankful. I wanted to plant sweet potatoes this year and you solved my query about how to grow slips. God bless you Bro.
Excellent information and explained in a way that is totally sensible to first plant one large sp to get all those baby slips. Excellent information. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
Looking you from Spain.
Thank you for showing us how to plant potatoes from store bought. I didn't know how to until watching your show.💓💓😄
Great info well delivered. I am excited to try that this spring! Thanks!
MAN, THIS WAS A GOOD INFORMATIVE VIDEO!
THANK YOU 😊
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦
I have tried for 3 years with no success. I am going to try your method. Thank you!❤
Omg you made this so easy!! Thank you!!
Excellent video! I just found your channel and am so glad! Your video is thorough, well thought out, and very well done. Thanks so much. Im getting started today, and looking forward to following you. Blessings from Texas.
Something of note too, when you start your own slips they are MUCH healthier. The travel and shock in a box really roughs up ordered slips.
I ordered some and made some of my own and the difference was night and day between the two. One covered the entire trelis I setup before the others even started sending out secondary runners.
The head start they get will make a big difference come harvest time.
I have tried 3 varieties now in 10A.
The ones I sprouted from dark purple thin varietys are insanely hearty. These ones tended to grow in long thin tubers and they ran *everywhere*. You really had to go searching for them as they dont tend to develope just under the planted slips. Some even invaded nearby beds underground. They will regrow if you miss even a tiny undeveloped root underground. They come back like weeds in the bed I planted them in originally. I barely had to replant them at all, as they just came back from scraps I missed when harvesting. I filled a couple of ''bald spots'' in the bed and the rest just replanted themselves. They're insanely sweet/rich flavor Id compare to cake. They are good baked, but would probably be best for sweet deserts.
The second variety I sprouted were labeled Murasaki sweet potatos on their stickers, but I found in the tropical section of publix marked as ''boniato'' instead of the sections with sweet potatos/russets. Apparently they sometimes order these instead of true boniato during some off seasons. These Murasaki were developed in Alabama and are hearty white fleshed sweet potatos mimicing japanese varieties. They grew insanely fast, and seem well suited to hot humid Florida. They even out grew even the ravenous purple varietys. I'll find out in a few weeks if I like their taste. I hope so, as they seem perfectly suited to the environment here. Their fast growth makes me believe I can get 2 harvests a year if I time them right.
I ordered slips for some organic white soft flesh varieties and they seem to struggle alittle more than the other two. Either from the shock of shipping, or maybe the Florida heat is abit rough on them. I really think they just had a bad start from the get go and will be interested in sprouting my own slips and seeing if they fair alot better next season.
Same zone! How’d you make yours?
THANK YOU, I SUBSCRIBED, THUMBS UP
Wonderful information about growing sweer potatoes! I'm going to use this method next March or April. Thsnks

Thanks for sharing. Purple sweet potatoes and the red sweet potatoes are my faves.
What about growing sweet potatoes in containers Will it yield as much for those of us that has limited space or living in HOA that tells you can't have a garden
Yes, you can grow sweet potatoes in containers. Just make sure you grow them in a big container to get a great harvest Fam💚🌱

❤❤❤ Thank you. Excellent video..
We eat them every week! It’s a staple.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I feel silly for buying slips by mail last year. They were wimpy and never did produce. This year will be much better.
My goodness, you are the best in growing sweet potatoes, I will start mine tomorrow. I sold. Thank you for your very informative video.Blessings to you.
Thanks for sharing this information. You did it so well. I have always wondered how to grow sweet potatoes. 😊
Thank you for sharing.... Love gardening
Great information growing sweet potatoes. I did the potato in water method. Have so many slips that I planted, so excited to see results.
Thank you!
