Hi this is Peggy. So sorry you are having problems with your sweet potato plants. Hope this information is helpful. Why are my sweet potato leaves turning yellow?
Wilt diseases – Sweet potatoes with yellow leaves might be the result of verticillium or fusarium, two of the most common sweet potato diseases. In either infection, the plant begins to yellow at the base and works its way up the plant. These fungal diseases can be spread by infected transplants.Apr 4, 2018

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
