{"product_id":"409606-1","title":"Sweet Potatoes 'Burgundy'","description":"\u003cp\u003eAVAILABLE FROM MAY AS PLANTS, WHILE STOCKS LAST. \n\u003cbr\u003eThis variety produces tubers a little further from the plant. The result: tubers with bright orange flesh and good flavor. The yield is reasonable: smaller tubers weighing 250-500g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur active grower is constantly searching for the best Sweet Potato varieties for outdoor cultivation or for the greenhouse. In May-June, he offers us young plants, and in November, the tubers from which you can grow beautiful plants yourself. \n\u003cbr\u003eWHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE PLANTS?\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you haven't grown your own plants 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, so 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 no later than before the first night frosts. \n\u003cbr\u003eWHAT DO YOU DO WITH A TUBER LIKE THAT? \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\u003ePlace the tubers (lying down) 2\/3 submerged in cocopeat 809620-seed-compost-cocopeat-briquettes. Keep them well-lit, moist, and warm; the tuber will produce many shoots. After 5-10 cm of growth, you can break off or cut these close to the tuber and directly insert them into a small pot or a 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\nAlso: Bataat\u003cbr\u003e\nEnglish: Sweet Potato\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SEARCH-NAMES-END --\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"1 plant","offer_id":44177567678517,"sku":"409606.1","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409606.jpg?v=1750793349","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/409606-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
