Hello! I love houseplants, vegetable & herb gardening; so, discovering this site was a blessing. Thanks for sharing such beautiful images of your plant life & abundant information! I'm trying some new & different things; so, I will post a few questions in the forums. I wanted to grow beautiful vines from a sweet potato (just for decorative/ornamental purposes … not trying to grow potatoes in a garden). Ironically, that experiment started on it's own in my pantry with a forgotten sweet potato (not from the organic section) that sprouted stems (see image). Sweeeeet! Soooo, NOW what do I do (& how)?
Do I …
Cut or pinch the new sprouted stems from the potato & plant them in soil?
Cut or pinch & root the stems in water before planting in soil?
Root the entire or chunk of potato in water?
I have fond memories of experimenting rooting potatoes with my mom (she was a teacher) & school science teacher; but, don't remember the details. Please lend me your expertise & experience. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Meanwhile,
EnJOY your weekend!
