How to Grow and Care for Sweet Potato - Eclipse
Planting Instructions
To grow Sweet Potato - Eclipse, start by planting slips (young shoots) in loose, well-drained soil that has been enriched with compost. Choose a sunny location with full sunlight, as sweet potatoes require a lot of light to thrive. Plant the slips 12-18 inches apart in rows, making sure the soil is warm (at least 70°F or 21°C). The best time to plant is after the last frost date, when the soil has warmed up sufficiently.
Watering and Maintenance
Once planted, water the Sweet Potato - Eclipse regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy. These plants are relatively drought-tolerant once established, but they do better with consistent watering during the growing season. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and reduce weeds. Be sure to check for pests or diseases periodically and remove any affected leaves or stems. As the plants grow, mound the soil around the base of the stems to promote the development of larger tubers.
