Ipomea batatas (decorative potato vine on this video) are the same botanical plant as good old sweet potatoes, just prettier. 😉 Both the tubers and the leaves are edible and if you dig up the roots, you could theoretically store them and replant in spring. Not the easiest to store for several months but possible. If you are going to dig them out of your pots to replant, let them dry in a dark, dry area for a week and try them out! They are not as tasty as their store bought counterparts but still, more than edible. 🤔😉😜

Good tips.

Thank you for sharing . In Asia we love to eat stir fried sweet potatoes leaves ❤. I never know that the ornament type is edible too .

Did you know that Asian people stir fry the sweet potato vine leaves with garlic? It is delicious and good source of iron and B vitamins.

I am in zone 9B and my vine grows as a perennial. 🤗

Very nice. We would love that but our weather is a little bit colder in northern WI. We always have a stretch of -15 to -25 degrees.

@ryansmith83 10 ай бұрын

I have them outside in central Florida and spider mites LOVE them. 😢 I’m going to attempt growing them indoors as a houseplant so I can enjoy them year-round.

Make sure to use a systemic insecticide before you bring them in though, otherwise you will infect your other indoor plants. You can find the systemic here: amzn.to/3EM1GqA and miticide here: amzn.to/3Zla1et

You can also multiply your plants via vine cuttings.

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses 3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can. They propagate pretty easily.

@@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses I wonder why no one speaks of it. They root so easily!

Great information! Question: I just transferred 4 Sweet Caroline plants (2 light green, 2 jet black) from a purchased hanging basket to my own hanging basket arrangement - while the jet black is doing great, the lime green variety looks sad now with all droopy leaves. I’m hoping it’ll bounce back by morning. I did give it a good drink after planting. Do you think it’s just in shock or did I kill it?

@marilynbauer2019 Жыл бұрын

Thank you for this info, Scott. You mentioned not planting Potato Vine with Geranium; what companion plants do you suggest?

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses Жыл бұрын

You can plant them together, but give them some space. But we love mixing other potato vine varieties together or a tall plant with the potato vine like heliotrope or cleome.

So I can’t transplant these from a basket to my garden? I was hoping to do that in the fall.

One of my favorites! Unfortunately the squirrels love it too! Mid summer, they eat it all.

My house is in Ontario region. Can I bring them inside and place them in a sunny window throughout the winter? Will they survive?

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses 10 ай бұрын

Several people we know have done it successfully.

How do you know if you’re getting the trailing or the mounding variety? What do I look for on the tag?

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses Жыл бұрын

Sometimes it will say on the tag if it is trailing or mounding, but hopefully there are good employees at your local greenhouse that can help you.

@chilloften 3 ай бұрын

Yes, I finally found one and I think it’s mounding. Same with my Mandavilla-two bushing not the vining that I went shopping for. They are messing with my plants and costing me money. I love vines!

I live in Texas and left them out last night , the temp dropped to about to the low 40s. They are looking droopy this morning, will the come back?

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses 4 ай бұрын

Most likely but they do not like cold temps. Even in our greenhouses if it drops down they will droopy in the morning but then spring back to life. They will not take a frost though.

So what exactly do we feed these with? Can i use a granular plant food? 4-4-4 ? Im growing in containers

Can they be grown inside?

@SharkeysFloralGreenhouses 20 күн бұрын

Not sure on that, we have never tried. It would definitely need to be a sunny location inside though.

@PumpkinPails 10 күн бұрын

I bring mine in during the winter and they'll survive, but don't look too great until spring when they're back outside. They really do need a LOT of sunlight to be happy.
