I wanted to try my hand at growing sweet potatoes, but now I'm not even sure that I should put them in the garden. I'm trying to get starts off of my two sweet potatoes I have 5-6 starts but they are shriveling and slowly dieing please help.







Hope this helps.

Thanks

Greetings, Remove the bad sprouts and trash them, take off the healthy starts and place them in water until they root, than plant them, shading them at first. You can change the water in the container and keep the roots submersed.

If it's Bacterial Wilt the stems will be soggy, if they are dry and hard it may be from cold or water shortage.

They're dry and crispy on the ends. Thanks again and I'll do that valley.
