- Beauregard Sweet Potato Slips for Planting - Grow Your Own Orange/Red Sweet Potatos (3 Slips)

I have bought slips for years and never had any show up like this. Virtually no roots, wilted even after being in water 24 hours. Not sure how many will make it. I think this is the first negative review I have ever written, but this just made me sad.

Everybody said it was super difficult to grow sweet potatoes but I’m super happy I took a leap of faith with this company. I do NOT have a green thumb but somehow managed to grow the MOST AMAZING crop of sweet potatoes! I will definitely be repurchasing next year. They had amazing customer service by the way and responded to texts and helped me along the way!!

Sweet potato plants produced very well. Potatoes Lasted throughout winter months.

Waste of $15. Received 3 poor looking slips. I’ve been nurturing these for a month with little root growth. Please buy an organic sweet potato and put in water yourself. Poor purchase

Update to update. Company made good on the product. Received 2 beautiful slips with roots starting and a stick, but at least it’s a live stick. See recent updated pics. The 2 slips are growing wonderfully and the stick was planted 2 weeks ago and has finally started to take off. Changing my review stars to 3 for the mere fact they sent dead sticks. 5 day update. Dead dead dead Day 5. Slimy and dead. You should be embarrassed to have this as your product. Moved to 1 star. Arrival day, immediately in the lukewarm water. Noting sticks very soft and soggy and small. I’m somewhat disappointed in the appearance of the slips. Thank goodness it was a small order. Your strawberries I bought off tiktok arrived same day and are big healthy and wonderful looking. Day 2.. photo day. Sticks still very soggy. No improvements. Roots look sick. Glass jar sits in window. 75 in house. 65-70 outside. Non smoking house. I’ll update when there is improvement. If they die, I’ll reduce stars to 1.

Since they do not provide any planting instructions, I thought I’d share what was successful for me. I took the slips and put them in a cup of water near a window for about a week to a week and a half. When roots started coming out (about half inch or so), I transferred to small seedling containers with potting soil and sat those containers in a cut open milk jug base with water in it (about 1 1/2 inches tall). This allows the soil to stay moist about halfway up my small containers and the roots find that moist soil. Once they have robust leaves, transfer to the ground and keep moist for a few days.

Didn't grow

I got sent 4 instead of 3, but 3 of them were cut in the wrong spot! The leaves would only grow just a hair above the roots, so they died pretty quickly. The 1 that lived is flourishing, though. I planted it May 4th and today, June 29th, the vines and leaves are about 3 feet by 2 feet. No sweet potatoes yet, but it has been less than 2 months in the ground.
