How to grow sweet potato leaves

1. Planting time

Sweet potato cultivation requires a warm environment. It can be planted in spring from March to April when the temperature is more suitable for growth. It can be transplanted in May to June.

2. Choose Seed Potatoes

Before planting, you need to choose suitable seed potatoes. They should be mature, plump, and full, free of pests and diseases, and preferably grow strong, which is more beneficial for later growth. This is very important because the seedlings will grow from the buds of the seed potatoes. If there are diseases and pests, it will affect the later growth.

3. Prepare the soil

If you are planting at home, you can choose to plant it in the ground or in pots. If you are planting it in the ground, choose suitable soil for planting. If you are planting it in pots, you need to prepare the soil, which can be mixed with garden soil, river sand, leaf mold, etc.

4. Planting

If you plant on a sunny day, you can choose to plant in the afternoon instead of at noon. It is relatively simple to plant. You can cut off the stem segments or sprouts of the seed potatoes and then plant them in the soil at a depth of about 5 cm.

5. Post-maintenance

After planting, it is necessary to carry out post-maintenance to ensure good growth. Do not place it under the scorching sun first. Wait until the growth is stable, and then give normal maintenance, making sure to ensure the application of water and nutrients.
