Plant Care Tips
Sunlight: Sweet potato plants thrive in full sunlight. Ensure they get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal tuber development and vigorous vine growth.
Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist, especially during the early growth stages. However, avoid overwatering, as sweet potatoes prefer well-draining soil to prevent rot. Reduce watering as the plant nears harvest.
Soil & Fertilizing: Sweet potatoes prefer loose, well-draining, sandy soil rich in organic matter. Fertilize with a low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage tuber growth rather than excessive vine growth. Incorporate compost before planting for healthy yields.
