Frost? It’s been a really late summer arrival in my state and a ton of rain.
stress can do this. Too much or too little watering. Too much sun, too windy. They are not picky plants but do depend on certain amounts of sun & water. Are you growing them in the same place or pot? A few Leaves will turn yellow and die off. Pinch the yellow leaves off. This a natural cycle of decorative sweet potato vines.
Depends also on the type of sweet potato plant you planted. There are several different types (google them) Some leaves are variegated, some are pointy, some are pink, green, red etc. You can pinch off a piece & stick it in the ground (water regularly) and roots will form.
Hope this helps
