| I got a sweet potato from the local grocery store a few months ago and forgot to eat it, as I'm often wont to do. Anyway, so right now it's got a couple vines on it, some leaves... overall looking pretty nice, though it's not growing as fast as it was outside.
However, I haven't actually planted it yet. I just... have a leafy Ipomoea batatas tuber sitting on my desk.
HOW do I plant it? Do I NEED to detach the slips? Can I just bury the tuber as a whole? And if I can plant the whole tuber, can I only bury like half of it and get some sort of caudex thing going on?
Also, I think a part of the tuber started to rot or dry out while it was still in the plastic wrap in the pantry. It's not spread particularly far, but if I need to plant the entire tuber, can I just cut that part off first or something? |
