Sweet Potato slips are very resilient, if you see any yellowing don't fret, plant them and they will grow. It is important to know that you will be receiving bare-root slips. Sweet potato slips are very hardy plants. Make sure you keep the stems and leaves dry if you are delaying your planting after receiving them, wrapping the root end of your slips with a moist paper towel will be extremely beneficial. Be sure to keep them out of direct sunlight and wind, and keep them upright and at room temperature. Don't have enough space to plant in-ground, try growing in a 45-gallon or 100-gallon Root Pouch Grow Bag!
