Purple Japanese Sweet Potato Slips for Planting - Grow Your Own Purple Sweet Potatos (10 Plant Slips)

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.

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!

They arrived in perfect condition. Hopefully,weather permitting, will plant tomorrow.

6 out of 10 were healthy enough to sprout. The others are leafless slips that are trying to rot. For the price I don’t understand why they couldn’t send all good looking slips. But I’ll have all the slips I can make myself next year I guess.

I thought purchasing potato slips on line would be a simple task but have learned it's a total and complete waste of money. These slips ( 3 - 4 inch sticks with no roots and maybe a small leaf of two have been in soil for 5 days. I am still watching to see if the roots are developing. THEY ARE NOT. I put markers by each slip to identify them because they are so small. Nothing is growing. I think this is another place I would not recommend. Unlike seed potatoes slips should show some signs of life. These do not and after 5 days they look exactly the same as they did when I took them out of the plastic wrapper in the little brown envelope. I would highly recommend that you not wast your money!!

Kinda my fault made big seed order. didn't realize these were in a wet towel by the time I got to them. They were black. washed them off and got them in water. Roots looking good grew well in the paper towel. hopefully not a total waste. Would like a better warning saying get me out I need air. Not everyone knows how its coming and or ignorant to the process
