Sweet Potato Vines In A Mason Jar

RE: Sweet Potato Vines In A Mason Jar Post By Dana in PA (Guest Post) (07/22/2008) I tried the sweet potato in the mason jar thing. I used the tooth picks and changed the water every other day and kept it in a sunny window. But after a week the part that was immersed in water rotted! What did I do wrong?

I didn't cut an end off and the potato rotted!""

I just moved it to a window that gets more direct light, but does anyone have another suggestion? lavell1 @ comcast.net (remove spaces) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sweet Potato Vines In A Mason Jar Post By gail2656 (Guest Post) (07/17/2005) I grow them every year with my kids in school...they enjoy watching the vine grow Report Spam or Abuse RE: Sweet Potatoe Vines In A Mason Jar Post by FrugalFriend (23) | (12/31/2004) Contact You put the end that is "pointed" down in the water in the jar. You can grow these in your kitchen window or anywhere else in your home, where there is natural sunlight. Once you put the potato down in the jar, only about half of the potato should be in the water. You don't ever have to plant these. From what I could tell, they could live indefinitely in the jar. I hope this helps. Report Spam or Abuse
