Time to root Sweet Potato Slips

Time to root Sweet Potato Slips if you are a Sweet Potato lover!


The first photo is the one I just started for Sweet Potato Slips!

The remaining photo are from last year!



We need to root Sweet Potato Slips (a sprout that is grown from a sweet potato) in a glass of water. This is so easy and simple.



1. Pick a cup or jar (or containers) of your choice

2. Go to organic grocery and find one sweet potato that will fit in your cup (Yoonok's tip--do not buy Regular sweet potato due to the high possibility of treatment).

3. Put a sweet potato tuber into water, pointy end down.

4. Place the jar (or containers) near a window or any other warm area with plenty of sun.

5. Soon you will see little slips growing from the eyes of the tuber. This is an amazing process. This is life! I guarantee you will enjoy! I so love watching little sprouts coming! To me, this is a magic!

6. Have happy sweet potato babysitting and change water once a while (once a week will be good) with the 2/3 above the water.

7. Happy waiting about 6-8 weeks.

8. Sweet Potato Slips will be ready to plant!

Once, I get enough Sweet Potato Slips, I will go over how to root Slips in order to plant in your garden!
