{"product_id":"409607-1","title":"Sweet Potatoes 'Murasaki'","description":"\u003cp\u003eDELIVERABLE FROM MAY AS A PLANT, WHILE STOCKS LAST. \n\u003cbr\u003eA vigorous grower with long runners, the yield is reasonable with beautiful, cream-colored tubers with a delicious taste. This variety is not suitable for outdoor cultivation, so a plastic tunnel or small greenhouse will provide a solution.\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. 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 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 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 NOW? \n\u003cbr\u003eJust put it in the ground outside? No! Cultivation is a little different from growing seed potatoes. It's a fun indoor activity, in a warm place. (From May, the task can also be done directly outside – in warm weather)\n\u003cbr\u003eYou need a seed propagator with a high lid; you can also use any container or pot that can accommodate one or more tubers lying down. In the latter case, it is wise to make a frame over which you stretch plastic for warmth and moisture retention.\n\u003cbr\u003ePlace the tubers (lying down) in cocopeat 809620-zaaigrond-cocopeat-briketten\n\u003cbr\u003e2\/3 submerged in the soil. Keep them 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 directly insert them into a 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":44177458921525,"sku":"409607.1","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/409607.jpg?v=1750789437","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/409607-1","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
