Renae Breskovich on May 18, 2015hi - they are extremely hardy - soil must be vey loose - gently spread roots and cover with dirt but do not pack tightly. Water t condense the soil and you should be able to split/divide the plants as they get too large. Don't be afraid of shears to keep shape/length.Helpful Reply

Teresa generas on May 20, 2015To grow a sweet potato vine in water you simply submerge half of the potato in water. Use tooth picks to hold the upper half of potato above water. Keep near a window with filtered sun. Roots will start to grow on bottom half of potato that is in the water. After a few weeks beautiful vines will develop. Then you plant them in soil.Helpful Reply

Kimberly Mitchell on Jun 13, 2015These plants are very hardy. If the roots are already established just simply transplant to soil, either in the ground or planter. They do require a fair amount of watering the leaves are very thin. Even if left to dry out they will come back quite healthyHelpful Reply
