YEGAOL GARDEN 50Pcs Sweet Potato Seeds Non-GMO Features
-
SUN: Be sure to plant your sweet potatoes in full sun to part shade. They generally prefer full sun but appreciate some afternoon shade in hot, dry regions.
-
SOIL: Sweet potatoes prefer soil that is well-drained but high in rich matter. Sandier soil is preferable to dense, clay soil.
-
WATER: Once established, sweet potatoes will tolerate growing in dry soil. It's best to keep it evenly moist with 1 inch of water given once a week. Don't water your sweet potatoes during the final three to four weeks prior to harvest to prevent the mature tubers from splitting. Keep the plants moist, especially during dry spells.
-
Expected Blooming Period: Four months after planting to harvest.
-
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS: Sweet potatoes are not heavy feeders, but it's important to give them balanced nutrition, typically with proper soil preparation. Overfeeding tends to promote growth of foliage rather than tubers. The best approach is to add compost to the beds before planting the sweet potatoes. Alternatively, you can apply an liquid fertilizer to the soil prior to planting.
About YEGAOL GARDEN 50Pcs Sweet Potato Seeds Non-GMO
Sweet potatoes are always planted in the spring. They are slow-growing and require warm temperatures to develop full-size tubers. You can usually get three to five tubers per plant and more if you're in a warmer climate. Sweet potato plants come back every year if you live in a warmer growing zone (USDA zones 8 through 11). How to Plant Sweet Potatoes When to Plant These plants are tropical in origin, so wait until the soil has warmed up fully in spring before planting. To give them a head start, sweet potatoes are often planted in raised rows, about 8 inches high. This helps the soil warm faster and keeps them well-drained. If you are gardening in a cooler climate, spreading black plastic on the soil will also help it warm faster. Selecting a Planting Site Sweet potatoes will generally thrive in any average well-drained soil in a sunny location. If your soil is too dense or rocky, consider planting sweet potatoes in raised beds filled with sandy but rich potting soil. Spacing, Depth, and Support Plant slips about 12 to 18 inches apart with 3 to 4 feet between rows. The vines will spread and fill in, so give them plenty of room.
