Sweet Potatoes 'Bonita' / 'Belle'

AVAILABLE FROM NOVEMBER AS TUBER AND FROM MAY AS PLANT.
This variety stands out for its good yield of white tubers with a firm texture. The tubers easily reach a weight of 500-600 g.

Our active grower is constantly looking for the best Sweet Potato varieties for outdoor cultivation or for the greenhouse. In May-June, he offers us young plants and in November, tubers, from which you can grow beautiful plants yourself.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE PLANTS?
If 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 pipes. Harvest no later than before the first night frosts.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SUCH A TUBER?
Just put it in the ground outside? No! Cultivation is a little different from growing seed potatoes. It's a nice indoor task, in a warm spot. (From May, if the weather is warm, it can also be done directly outside)
You will need a propagator with a high lid, or you can use any container or pot that can accommodate one or more tubers lying down. In the latter case, it is wise to create a small frame over which you stretch plastic for warmth and moisture retention.
Place the tubers (lying down) in cocopeat 809620-seed soil-cocopeat-briquettes
2/3 buried. Keep them well-lit, moist, and warm; the tuber will produce many shoots. You can break or cut these off close to the tuber after 5-10 cm of growth and directly insert them into a pot or a swollen Jiffy-7 pellet. Each cutting will root very easily.
There are also other methods, for example in water, just watch this video on YouTube.
