Grow Your Own Sweet Potatoes Indoors….Year Round! Sweet Potatoes are not like regular Potatoes and are in fact only distantly related. Instead of planting chunks of the tuber in hopes that the “eyes” will sprout, Sweet Potato growers sprout the shoot end of the tuber with a mass of new vines known as “slips”.
From these slips, unlimited new Sweet Potatoes can be grown. Now, these guys are tropical and any soil temperatures below 70F will not be tolerated. I live in Canada, so after starting my slip transplants, I’ll have to keep growing the Sweet Potato plants indoors, right to harvest!

INTERESTING! I have always wanted to grow them, but our Zone 5 climate is too cool and the season is too short
I am in Vancouver BC area and have successfully grown Sweet Potatoes. This year was not so successful, they were small and skinny. It all depends on how hot our summer is as well as the length of summer. I just cut up the small ones and roast them. I have a greenhouse I start the slips in too so can extend the season
I did not have much success with my sweet potatoes. I first put them in a large pot in the garden and move them in my greenhouse in September, they are about the same size as yours . I am now thinking of putting them in the garage under my grow lights. It needs 1 to 2 more months of growth. We had a lot of cloudy days since the beginning of August, that didn't help. You are an inspiration. You are as passionate at gardening as I am.
Is there any way to do this without all the contraptions?
Those vines will fill your little tent in no time. Not sure how pruning the vines would change tuber production, might even help. I'm already rooting some vines from my summer harvest to grow this winter, and expect to have vines to root and plant out in the spring. Also be very vigilant for aphids . They love sweet potato vines and seem to be able to appear out of nowhere. Leaves and flowers are very tasty for soups, salads, or burgers.
Main concern: getting your soil hot enough to support sweet potato growth underground.
Would it work just having the pot in doors instead if using a grow house !?
I'm actually quite surprised that you can't grow them in BC in in Eastern Ontario and this was our second year of growing them outside in black 10 gallon pots on the south side of our garden. Not a huge production but we got a good 10-15 smaller sweet potatoes from 1 slip.
Woa ❤️❤️❤️
Heavy mix your soil with flour and hay and green leafs and sticks , and test in a Pot and tell me your results on the experiment…
moist only the mulch and not the soil … i'm sure you will increase the soil temperature this way…
you sir, personally, are saving my lockdown
Hi. Love this video. Any update on ur sweet potatoes? I'm starting to plant one myself indoors…
Can you share video of the final harvest?
Have u tryed diy hoop tunnel to make it hot for them what zone are u in Ontario… i em zone 4
Very cool! How are you liking the sp3000s?! I’ve been frustrated looking into them as I don’t grow the crops that most people produce with them, so it’s hard to see how well they’d perform for my needs. I’d LOVE to know your thoughts coming from a, er, traditional home gardening viewpoint.
No updates on this?
Watt Hours used per day, and total days to harvest, vs weight in sweet potatoes?
Thanks for the information! Fun to learn but to be honest its all to much and i just don't have the money or the room for indoor planting of this kind.
White sweet potatoes in the stores are about 2.99-3.99 a pound, so a 3 pound sweet potato can be $12.00 so growing your own can save a lot of cash
Sweet potatoes are one of the most expensive crops right up there with marijuana
What part of Canada are you in?
I can't find the harvest video for your indoor sweet potatoes. I would love to see it 🙂
Awesome going to do this in oregon in winter
The police would have quite a surprise finding sweet potatoes if they raided his grow tents. Ha ha
Did you make video of the final results/harvesting? Awesome video btw…
Is there a Part 2 available? How did growing indoors work?
Waw nice farming
Please keep in mind that even if something fails it is a learning experience. We are all trying to learn from you. It will save us the time and money of duplicating something that has a low success rate. This is the second video that you did not provide a follow-up or results for. I viewed your "How To Grow Potatoes Indoors – Part 1 of 3" and there is no Part 2 or 3.
Have you tried placing a plastic low tunnel over an outdoor raised garden bed to trap the sun's heat and raise the soil temperature?
Dude what happened with the update
