Watch a farmer gently push young sweet potato slips (rooted sprouts) into loose, well‑drained soil. Each slip is planted at a slight angle, with the lower leaves covered and the growing tip above ground. No seeds, no cuttings – just a cluster of roots that will soon spread into sprawling vines. Over the next few months, those vines will photosynthesize, and underground, the tubers will swell. By autumn, one slip can yield several kilos of sweet, orange‑fleshed goodness.
