{"product_id":"409597-4","title":"Sweet Potatoes 'Indosweet'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAVAILABLE FROM NOVEMBER AS TUBER AND FROM MAY AS PLANT.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe tubers are orange inside and out. The yield in our country is quite high; per plant, multiple, not-so-large tubers grow, which store well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur active grower is constantly looking for the best varieties of Sweet Potatoes 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 will 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 crucial 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! The cultivation is a little different from growing seed potatoes. It's a fun indoor activity, in a warm spot. (From May, if the weather is warm, it can also be done directly outside)\n\u003cbr\u003eYou need a seed propagator with a high lid; you can also use any container or pot that fits one or more tubers lying down. In the latter case, it's wise to make a frame over which you can stretch plastic for warmth and moisture retention.\n\u003cbr\u003eLay the tubers (horizontally) in cocopeat 809620-zaaigrond-cocopeat-briketten\n\u003cbr\u003e2\/3 buried. Keep them well-lit, moist, and warm; the tuber will produce many shoots. These can be broken or cut off close to the tuber after 5-10 cm of growth and directly inserted into a pot or swollen Jiffy-7 tablet. Every 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\nEnglish: Sweet Potato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"3 young plants","offer_id":44635724972085,"sku":"409597.4","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"9 young plants","offer_id":44635725004853,"sku":"409597.5","price":9.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409597_667e8896-7782-41eb-bc73-55ce432ce460.jpg?v=1781509207","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en-eu\/products\/409597-4","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
