Good to know! Glad I don't need to start more slips for next year.
Just pulled in a handful of sweet potato cuttings from my aquaponics system yesterday. They're going to be living in my fish tank this winter. It's always fun watching them throw roots.
Yup make excellent aquatic plants! Fish complete that circle of life
Do you keep them indoors all winter in water and just changing the water until next spring ?
Also trimming roots. Sometimes if I have diseased roots I’ll cut the top off and use that to start over
Wow this is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
I'm glad you didn't cut out the dog! That was my favorite part. He looks just like my girl! Red tris are the best!
Indiana here.... I've already taken three healthy vines, that are a foot long each and rooted them in a vase. They will continue to stay in the vase until spring (April). I don't recommend changing the water in the vase. There's nutrients in the water that you don't want to dump down the drain. Just keep watering the vase as needed when the plants drinks it up. Enjoy your new winter house plant.
Very nice! Great information, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for teaching me about plants!
Thank you for sharing. I am ready to over winter my sweet potato vines 😊
❤❤❤❤
I'm a retired teacher. I would always tell my students that repetition is the key to learning.
I was trying to figure out how to overwinter my sweet potatoes. I'm in zone 9b. I believe this will work. Thanks for this video.
Sure thing! I’ve noticed that sometimes they have issues and leaves start falling off and I just take a cutting from the top and let them form new roots when that happens.
Have you ever had any SP plants come back without replanting?
In Arizona zone 9 I did every year. On my Missouri homestead I’ve only had standard potatoes come back the next year
thank you teach
Thank you for this video. If I understand you correctly, I can keep them in water for the next 4 to 5 months over winter before planting them out next season?
Yup just don’t forget to change the water and trim the roots if necessary.
Aah! Trim the roots! I didn't think about the huge mass of roots that will be developing. I will make sure I trim them. I already have some vines in water, but your video and subsequent clarification made the next steps much clearer. Thanks again and thank you for the quick response.
Hello...I was watching several of your videos and noticed that you have cassava, elderberries, and grape plants...I am wondering if you will be willing to share cuttings of the plants...I can share seeds of chile piquin (Puerto Rico) and cuttings of longevity spinach. I can pay for the shipping if you are willing to share cuttings. Please let me know.. these is the perfect time because is not hot for the plants to be shipped out...thanks.
Sorry I don’t do any shipping. If you’re local I’d be happy to give you cuttings but just thinking about going to the post office gives me anxiety.
@@thechaosgardener I feel your pain...i had times i can not get out of the house for a month or two due to high anxiety. I had cassava plants but the artic freeze we had in Houston killed almost all my plants -about 85 percent of them, and since i am senior and very low fixed income getting back to have more edible plants has been a challenge. Thank you anyway..blessings to you and yours.
Lovely video so end puppy
I’m really motivated to keep mine. I just went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of sweet potatoes which turned out to be all rotten….. which is going to get worse;
So, I finally got My sweet potato slips growing….. and now it’s August; I have several grow lights so I plan on using them because they’re not big enough to produce several nods, at least grow them until I have several nods; I also have the heating pad’s which work well for producing slips from sweet potatoes in dirt;
How to keep them from rotting. Mine are rotting
Fresh water every few days. Consider a few drops of hydroponic fertilizer once a week
@@thechaosgardener thank you so much
@@thechaosgardener why don’t you put them in dirt once they start rooting?
@degan9403 you certainly can. I just don’t like fungus gnats and potted plants in the house seems to spontaneously breed them so I try to go hydroponic indoors if possible for propagation
Yup, been trying some in my cold water fishtank as Australia cools down fast. Hoping they might do well enough to grow in Spring.
Awesome! Watch out for spider mites. I had issues with them this last winter infesting my sweet potato cuttings
I considered doing this but was worried they’d get too big before spring. Thanks for the video.
If they get too big you can always take cuttings of the cuttings and root them so you have fresher cuttings. Another trick is to prune the roots if they get too overgrown. Sweet potato vines are very forgiving
