- Hi Guys! Here's a really simple way to grow sweet potato slips. I prefer using soil to grow them instead of water. It makes them grow faster than water too! Be sure to watch my other videos on how to prepare for your harvest as well. Enjoy!

Check out my updated videos on growing SWEET POTATOES! ua-cam.com/video/DDct9rvUjms/v-deo.html
For those that don't know you can eat sweet potato leaves, they are comparable to spinach and many people grow them just for the leaves and not the SP to use in salads or as wraps like lettuce or anywhere you would use spinach.
Wow! Thank you! Gonna try 😁
in sinigang 🙂
Harvesting to much greens will result in less and or smaller potatoes though
We asean we love them
@@rbellionrises9851 just cut off some of the ends of the green shoots after a large amount of growth covers the ground. The vines will put out multiple growths at the end like trimming upright plants.
My grandpa gave me a cardboard box of sweet potatoes from his garden (to eat) but I left them in on top of my rain barrel for several weeks and forgot about them. When I discovered them I figured they wouldn't be any good but to my surprise, they had all grown some tubers. I had 8 of them so I made 8 mounds from my compost pile in a large circle about 20 feet in diameter. In a few DAYS, all of them had tons of leaves growing. They have been in the ground now a month and are growing out of control. The vines have run across the ground to the neighboring mound and have sort of connected. It looks really cool. I had no clue how to grow them but it seems like I did exactly the right thing.
I would like to thank Wendi Phan for this great concise, quick moving video that explains HOW to cultivate sweet potato, sharing several techniques, as well as her clever suggestion that sweet potato can make an attractive ground cover with attractive flowers.
Thanks so much for your great video - and all the printed info too! Wish I had known about your video before I tried to grow slips on my own. You seem truly happy and it is a joy to see your happy face.
Great job, thanks for including all the info i needed in a concise way, and not burying the 4 important things in an hour long video of fodder and chat, keep growing! Keep teaching! You’re good at it!
Thank you. Happy Holidays to you!
A few weeks ago I bought a sweet potato at the grocery store. I kinda forgot about it. Then when I decided to eat it, it had shoots all over it. I was ready to pitch it but then I felt guilty and cruel because it had so many shoots. You can tell it was so determined to live so I planted it. :)
+dmarcus1260 Yay! You won't regret it when it's time for harvest. :) Sweet potato leaves are edible too! Checkout my other video on how to cook them. Happy Gardening!
Thank you!!! This worked like a charm!!! 😁👌
Waaay more effective than the toothpick and water method!
This is the fifth video I’ve watched on growing sweet potato slips - going with this one.
Thanks!
This is the best video on growing so.
This is the best sweet potato video I have seen on the internet. Yes, they are part of the morning glory family. I love morning glory 's. I planted scarlet one's this spring and waiting for them to soon bloom so I can take pictures of them as I do every year. You do a beautiful job. Thank you for sharing.🥰🌺
Thank you! That sounds fun! I always enjoy the flowers on mine too. I love the multipurpose of this vine. :D
Best video I have seen on planting sweet potatoes by far. Thank you!
I was just looking at the video to find out how to regrow my plants I've never grown sweet potatoes but I have subscribed and absolutely loved how you walked us through very easily and very swiftly thank you for putting your opinions out here they helped many of us
Finally,someone who accurately showed obtaining slips etc. well done , thanks
Thank you. I’ve grown sweet potatoes from slips before, but never from the actual potato. Lot of people here in Hawaii grown them.
Awesome! I’m going to plant my “slip” now!
most informative, useful sweet potato video EVER!!!
Really really good. Just what I needed to see about growing sweet potatoes.
Great info, thanks Wendi! I was going to go the water route but soil seems better having listened to you.
WOW I had NO IDEA!!! Morning Glory Sweet Potatoes!! I am so excited to start!! Thank you!
Been growing sweet potatoes for 4 years and buying my slips. I've looked at other instructions but this was the best I've found! Great job! No more buying slips for me. Wife was tired of my water jars too. Will try dirt to grow next season.
Glad you find it helpful! Depending on the sweet potato, some may take longer than others to sprout so be patient. :) Good luck!
Great video! I just started my gardening channel and recorded my how to grow sweet potato vid, but haven't posted it yet. I usually do the water method, but it was neat to see your success with the soil method. Love that you understand and know about the manure from cows being GMO. Great seeing other fellow gardeners caring about their soil health. Loved this!
Nice video. Glad to find you've kept it simple & easy. I will be getting my slips ready this year. Thanks for sharing!
Morning Glory Family!!! Thank you.
The e best harvest I've had is when I laid down clear plastic covering to heat the soil up. I previously used black covering.
It's obvious why clear is better.
That was so quick, simple and to the point with no BullShiite. Thank you for making this video. I subscribed.
Fantastic video and so informative!!
You’re so knowledgeable! Thank you!!
Always glad to be helpful. Happy Gardening!
Great info - and sweet personality!
Thank you!
That's brilliant! I didn't realize you can grow them from the shoots afterwards.

Thanks so much! I am new to your channel! 💚
Thank you... you are awesome.., planning to plant one in my garden 😊😊😊
Very informative video. . I have some purple and normal sweet potatoes ready to do this. . thanks!
Very helpful video - thank you!
thank you for sharing. always excited with your videos along with john kohler, jake mace (veganathlete).i put a whole sweet potato with little slips half buried onto the ground for my nieces. i want to introduce them to gardening. sweet potato had a history in japan which stave off famine; thus, saved unlimited lives. unfortunately, the irish didn't get same the opportunity.
never though about chicken manure is link to gmo (i'll be stop using it)
Pat Luong I love watching John Kohler! But which gardener doesn't? :) I'll have to checkout veganathlete though. It really is unfortunate that the Irish weren't introduced to sweet potatoes like in Japan...they are very tasty and nutritious. That's so great that you are getting your nieces interested in growing food -- it is so important! Most of America don't know where our food comes from.
USDA standard for organic products for gardens is different than for food. Fertilizers, or soil conditioners can be labeled organic as long as it does not have synthetic materials directly added to the product. Check the ingredients list on the bag, if it's labeled chicken then it is not from organic chicken. Got to be careful...they are tricky. :)
Ireland is too cold for sweet potatoes.
This is a very nice video. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
I am in southern california zone 10b. In my zone, they grow year round. The vines never turn yellow to indicate that it's ready to be harvested, instead I have to keep track of when I planted which one when, so I know when to harvest. Just before harvesting, I started new plants from vine cuttings and still get the tubers. I also found that the vines that just get harvested can be replanted and will produce some more tubers.
Yes same here in zone 10 south Florida. I've used vines that had flowers on them and got a lot of tubers. Maybe it's a zone 10 thing? 😂
Superb explained
You mentioned that you cannot grow sweet potatoes from vine cuttings, but I proved that you can. After I harvested my first container crop, I decided to save some of the cuttings. I put them in water and they rooted. When the roots were about 6 inches in length, I planted them, and I now have my second crop of container grown sweet potatoes ready for harvest in about two weeks. I dug around in the soil yesterday and there are sweet potatoes in there. This was an experiment to see if I could use the vine cuttings, and it worked.
She's right, they can be propagated via vine cuttings.
Is one method more prolific, experimenters?
Chris SunRider yes, slips are more prolific
How long to get purple sweet potatoes or they’re all same .
@@dryaddyad7757 I've seen no difference between vine cuttings and slips.
As long as they are healthy, are planted in good soil and given the nutrients and moisture they need, they should do well.
Thank you for sharing this!i love to sweet potatoes too.
LEARN ALOT WITH YOUR VIDEO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND RESEARCH.
Very nicely explained, thanks and God bless.
Never grew sweet potatoes, the video was very helpful.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Wow ang galing naman po
Just came across your video Wendi it was excellent
im glad that i saw this bc i was about to bury the entire potato haha
Love the flowers
Thank you for this video.
I should have known you 3 years ago 🤠 but anyway good to see you today ! I'm in tx. Thank you for teaching.
I had no idea that’s how you grew sweet potatoes.going to try this in our garden next spring.
Thank you Wendie
Omg thank you for this video! I realized I planted them wrong (buried too deeply) and immediately went to save them. Thankfully they're okay 🙌🏻
@Jason Padilla They did! Wish I could post photos on UA-cam. I had to make a trellis for it and its got vines growing everywhere.
@Jason Padilla Wish I could see what's going on underneath the soil but I gotta wait a few more weeks to find out
@@bethrivera867 It takes 90-120 days to harvest, depending on variety. (3-4 months of hot weather)
