Caring for Sweet Potato Plants

Maintain the growth of sweet potato vines by providing sufficient space in containers. Ensure they have access to water without overwatering.

Harvest sweet potatoes after about three months when the vines start dying off. Enrich the soil with compost for healthy plant development.
