Purple Japanese Sweet Potato Slips for Planting - Grow Your Own Purple Sweet Potatos (3 Plant Slips)

6 out of 10 were healthy enough to sprout. The others are leafless slips that are rotting. For the price they should send all healthy slips. UPDATE 4 1/2 months of growing and no tuber growth at all. These are weak slips that will not produce tubers. Very disappointed for the price. Don’t buy.

As others have noted, the slips do look like small twigs. Ours arrived well packaged and still moist. Gotta put them in a cup of water for a couple weeks to let more roots and leaves develop before planting in the garden. Instructions say to not plant until at least two leaves have grown. Ours have been in a cup of water for at least 3 days and show significant root growth and leaf development. We received 13 slips for our order of 10. A couple may not grow, but it’s too early to tell. I am pleased with this purchase and hope they like my garden growing conditions.

These slips were barely alive and only had a couple of roots. I sprouted some more roots on them before transplanting but it was barely enough material to get the roots to sprout and not enough to keep sending nutrients out for growth. Poor quality!

Excellent quality!! I received 3 sprouted pieces, cleaned up the dead leaves and put them in the water, and one week later I have beautiful new leaves and roots!! Will wait for a bit longer and put them in the soil, can't wait!! Excellent value for money, growth rate as expected🙌

We’re barely alive

It was my first time growing purple sweet potatoes and I was impressed. I had a nice crop for my first attempt and the potatoes were delicious. I will order from this place again in April. It was a good value considering purple sweet potatoes are almost $4.00 per pound. My crop was mixed with regular sweet potatoes and i received a good beautiful spread.

Delivered in a paper envelope. Although thick, plants took some beating. Would be better protected in a small sturdy box. Potato Slips are short. One of them barely has a bud emerging. I’ve bought way better and longer slips from other sellers. Followed directions and placed them in water. Hopefully will thrive once planted.

I purchased these slips at the same time as my murasaki sweet potatoes purchase. These had some roots growing and 1 had a leave, so I had high hopes. I put them in a mason jar and swapped the water out daily. So far there hasn't been any growth, but the skinny slips don't look very strong and a couple are looking like they are dying. I'll update if any of these grow.
