{"product_id":"409597-2","title":"Sweet Potatoes 'Indosweet'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAVAILABLE FROM NOVEMBER AS TUBERS AND FROM MAY AS PLANTS.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe tubers are orange inside and out. The yield in our country is quite high; each plant produces several small tubers that store well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur active grower is constantly looking for the best sweet potato varieties for open ground or for the greenhouse. He offers us young plants in May-June and tubers in November, from which you can grow beautiful plants yourself. \n\u003cbr\u003eWHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE PLANTS?\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you haven't grown plants yourself from a tuber in winter (see below), we have young plants available from May to plant out (after the last chance of night frost). The fast-creeping plants need space; plant them 40 cm apart and 80-90 cm between rows. Large raised beds are beneficial for soil warmth and thus for yield. Regular watering is very important during dry periods; professional growers often use drip irrigation. Harvest at the latest before the first night frosts. \n\u003cbr\u003eWHAT DO YOU DO WITH SUCH A TUBER? \n\u003cbr\u003eJust put it in the ground outside? No! Cultivation is a little different from growing seed potatoes. It's a fun indoor job, in a warm spot. (From May, if the weather is warm, the job can also be done directly outdoors)\n\u003cbr\u003eYou will need a propagator with a high lid, or you can use any container or pot that fits one or more tubers lying flat. In the latter case, it is wise to make a frame over which you can stretch plastic for warmth and moisture retention.\n\u003cbr\u003ePlace the tubers (lying flat) in coco peat 809620-seed-soil-coco-peat-briquettes\n\u003cbr\u003e2\/3 under the soil. Keep it well-lit, moist, and warm; the tuber will produce many shoots. After 5-10 cm of growth, you can break or cut these off near the tuber and put them directly into a pot or a swollen Jiffy-7 pellet. Each cutting will root very easily.\n\u003cbr\u003eThere are also other methods, for example, in water; just watch this video on YouTube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-START --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNames:\u003cbr\u003e\nLatin: Ipomoea batatas\u003cbr\u003e\nDutch: Zoete Aardappel\u003cbr\u003e\nAlso known as: Bataten\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Sweet Potato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"1 tuber for many plants","offer_id":44564552155189,"sku":"409597.2","price":4.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 young plants","offer_id":45193748873269,"sku":"409597.4","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409597.jpg?v=1753206292","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/409597-2","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
