CUTTINGS FOR SWEET POTATOE VINES




I READ SOMEWHERE THAT YOU CAN BRING YOUR SWEET POTATOE VINE PLANTS IN FOR THE WINTER IN WATER OR DIRT. I AM PRETTY SURE THEY ARE ANNUAL. RIGHT NOW I HAVE CUTTINGS OF STEMS WITH SOME LEAVES AND STUCK IN WATER, OVER TWO TO THREE DAYS THE PLANTS START ROOTING. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL SURVIVE FOR NEXT SEASON. I ALSO HEARD THAT GERANIUM PLANTS CAN BE BROUGHT INSIDE IN WATER OR IN DIRT.

I KNOW THESE PLANTS AREN'T TOO TREMENDOUSLY EXPENSIVE BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GET A FAST START FOR NEXT GROWING SEASON. IF THEY ALL SURVIVE I WILL HAVE BIGGER PLANTS THAN MY NEIGHBORS. YOU KNOW NEIGHBORS COULD BE SO ANNOYING. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO ONE UP ON YOU.
