Sweet Potato 'Erato White'

AVAILABLE FROM NOVEMBER AS TUBER AND FROM MAY AS PLANT.
This is a productive variety, you harvest large tubers resulting in a high yield. The tubers also form a little further away from the plant. They have a pink skin with cream-colored flesh. Due to its short growing period, this variety is certainly suitable for outdoor cultivation. You can get an even higher yield when growing under glass or plastic. In short: highly recommended!

Our 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.
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 favorable 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.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SUCH A TUBER?
Just put it in the ground outside? No! The cultivation is a little different from growing seed potatoes. It's a fun indoor task, in a warm spot. (From May, the task can also be done directly outside – in warm weather)
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 frame over which you stretch plastic for warmth and moisture retention.
Place the tubers (lying down) in cocopeat 809620-zaaigrond-cocopeat-briketten
2/3 buried in 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 close to the tuber and place them directly into a pot or a swollen Jiffy-7 pellet. Each cutting will root very easily.
There are other methods as well, for example, in water; just watch this video on YouTube.
