Plant Details
Sweetpotatoes are vegetatively propagated by stem cuttings. Our slips will be bare-root with approximately 3-6″ in stem length. Leaves may be damaged during handling and shipping, but slips will quickly recover if roots are placed in water with light and warmth. It is important to remove the peat plug and roots to ensure new roots develop straight when planted in final container.
