Posted - Oct 05 2007 : 11:45:28 AM I found a sweet potato in my basement this fall that had sprouts. Jokingly my mom said to put it in a jar of water. lol So I did. I don't think my sweet potato knows what time of year it is. Although it is still in the high 80s/low 90s here. I guess I will try making a cold frame with some straw bales and plant it to see what happens.

Posted - Oct 08 2007 : 11:34:57 AM So to keep it as a houseplant all winter I just leave it in a jar or water or do I put it in a pot with dirt?

Posted - Oct 05 2007 : 4:46:44 PM My mother in law always "plants" a sweet potato in a jar in her window. She hung a tension curtain rod for the vine to wrap around. When it gets too big she cuts it down and starts over.

Posted - Oct 05 2007 : 2:20:42 PM You could always trim off the vining parts to keep it small until spring and planting time :D

Posted - Oct 05 2007 : 2:06:09 PM I thought about that Alee, I'm going to have a growing light in my basement this winter. But since it is a vine plant I didn't know how much room it would need. This is going to be all experimental. lol

Posted - Oct 05 2007 : 12:19:16 PM Wow! Maybe you can put it in a window indoors and make a houseplant out of it!
