Can you really make 100 pounds of sweet potatoes from one sweet potato? Millenial Gardener's Method
I was inspired by the Millenial Gardner's video showing how to turn one sweet potato into 100 pounds of sweet potatoes. So I wanted to try the method out for myself. Who wouldn't love to have a hundred pounds of sweet potatoes grow for me this summer?!
I didn't try any exotic varieties, I just ordered a small bag of organic sweet potatoes from Walmart and popped them in soil.
From grocery story to giant sweet potato slips In 50 days, I have many, many slips, some as large as 8-inches. I can't wait for the weather to warm up, so I can get these growing outside.
Thanks so much for the easy-to-follow method, @TheMillennialGardener , here's to the next 200 pounds of sweet potatoes.
Here's a link to the original video detailing the methodology, you should check it out, and his channel, because he's awesome sauce.

Does this bear same amount of fruits like grafted one?
How did they do? I have a Pakistan mulberry and a Shangri-la and I want to do this this year!
I have found the best way to release the roots from dirt is to put it in a tub of water and carefully massage them. It is much easier on the plant and the dirt releases much easier.
The latin binomial should inform you as to why your water props failed. Euphorbia pulcherrima. They're a thin, flat-leaved succulent. Most of them die after Christmas from overwatering. They're more closely related to Tanzanian zipper plants than they are to pothos or other houseplants. So use the same kind of gritty soil that you would use for echeveria or cactus, let the cuts callus over for a day, and then plant them in dry gritty soil and wait 3 days to water them. They should have enough root stubs to take in a little bit of water. Don't water them again until they tell you (drooping).
This worked perfectly for me! Thank you for your advice! 🌸
So happy to hear it. Wishing you continued luck!!!!
I used to have these at my old house. My neighbor just trimmed theirs and now I have a bowl full of clippings in water. About to do this myself. The process is pretty much the same for most plants, but I still look for videos to be sure there is no "gotcha" in one variety.
Very cool. I haven’t found a gotcha with these. If anything, these are a bit easier than average. How are the cuttings doing?
@@backyardnursery7008 I just got back home from a 10 day vacation at the beach. Didn't have time to stick them before hand so I left them in water and they still look good. Got to get them stuck in some medium so I can cover them and see what happens. Hopefully I haven't waited too long.
I was watching videos where these seeds need to be put in a freezer , your way is different .
Cold stratification does help with germination, most times. I was just trying to keep it simpler, and faster
@@backyardnursery7008I've actually read that mulberries don't actually need cold stratification..
This will work just fine and most people will have no issues, but best practice is to sterilize the pruners with rubbing alcohol prior to use and always put the rooting hormone (not always necessary) in a separate small container before dipping so as not to contaminate the original container with any disease that may or may not be visible in the mother plant at the time of taking the cutting.
I do not own a moose.
Me either!!
Thank you
I had a large one growing at the front of the house. Had it for about 7 years. One summer was really humid and I was away for a week and came home to find it had dropped dead. I was so distraught.
I’m so sorry. That stinks!!! Will you ever replace it?
@@backyardnursery7008 I bought a smokebush instead and it seems to be doing great. I might try a sandcherry again but I'll have to find a suitable spot for it.
Here in the UK, the vineweevils love this plant and always appear to target it, every year
Ugh, sorry about that!
Have you tried air layering instead? From what I've seen wineberries seem to tip-layer exetremely slowly when compared to most other brambles and in nature reproduce mostly by seeds. I wonder if air leayering works better in their case.
Good question-I haven’t tried it yet, but I might
@@backyardnursery7008 I'm trying it that year, but the results will be there in a few months. My experiences up untill now only confirmed that the tip layering results are disapointing. Digging a whole plant out, removing all of 2 yo growth and planting every cane (with some roots) in different places worked much better every time.
I've heard people say not to push the cutting all the way down, because water might pool at the bottom of the soil and cause root rot. What has been your experience?
Water pooling does drown the plant and cause rot. Rot is my number one nemesis for any propagation. However, it seems to me that lack of drainage and too much water in the dirt is more the problem than depth. I do also ensure a node or two are above the soil level. Let me know if this helps or if there is more to discuss. Thanks!
Thank you. I have a spirae with white cluster of flowers. I will try and propagate for some friends. it's such a pretty bush
Love it!! Keep me posted!!
I have a shoot growing where i previously removed a sand cherry tree as it was very old. Will the shoot grow into a replacement? It has grown 3 inches and is about 16 now.
It’s hard for me to say, definitively, that it is a sand cherry and will regrow, but theoretically yes. As long as there are living roots you can regrow a tree. It seems possible it could also be a seedling.
These route well in water too
I take off all leaves and it seems to root quicker as all the energy goes to roots I think
Love that tip, thank you, Ross!
@@backyardnursery7008 I am no expert just tried lots of diferent ways. Some with no leaves, some with some leaves and some with all leaves and then stems with no leaves at all had more roots at the bottom so I will stick to taking all leaves off. Love doing cuttings save so much money and will have about 50x more plants now for free I just have to be patient but I find gardening fascinating. Love your videos
In your first video you did three ways of propagation, but in this you only addressed one of them and I saw in one of the other questions and answer the water. One didn't work for you this time, but what about the ones where you used longer pieces of stem?
The one I showed was the one that rooted and performed well. The taller ones stayed alive long but never rooted :(
Thank you.... but you left hand is blocking the actions you need to more your camera to focus on your actions.....
Noted, I will work on that.
Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative and i like your follow thru and showing how well the plants are doing..you should look into taking master garden classes thru cornell in your area..
Great suggestion
As a master gardener with 35 years experience loved your saying dirt blanket ,altho i would say "soil blanket", i quite enjoy your videos.. and look forward to more of your videos i like how you say your saving non rooted ones for experiment to see if they will grow..
Thank you, Natty!!!
I do the air layering method where I just take a lower branch, strip some leaves and bury it 5-6” and forget about it for a few months. Once rooted I cut from the mother plant and transplant. I have done your method with a variety of other plants. For me the latter method is easier because I don’t need that many plants or supplies and I don’t have to worry about them if I go on vacation.
Love it!!
thank you - great video
Glad you liked it!
Hi! Can I water propagate these?
I never have, but probably
I had a handful of cuttings that I forgot about for a few days. I went ahead and put them in water and they had roots in one day! Once the roots are about an inch long I’ll pot them up and see what happens.
Yes! I just did and planted in a pot with soil. I'll find out how well it works.
I unfortunately attempted to pre-drill without appropriate training. I accidentally opened a hole to the next dimension. Apologies everyone.
What have you found in the new dimension? Also, I appreciate the heartfelt apology. I think we all do
Hey mate if you twist to the left they come off easier
No way, is it really that simple? I can’t wait to try it!!!
thank you! can you please tall more on how to transplant them into garden soil or top soil?
Sure thing. Transplanting is the “easy” part. Now that they have roots, it’s as simple as putting them in quality soil (I like making a homemade mix), and keeping things just the right amount of moist.
That being said, you want to be sure that it doesn’t dry out and also the other extreme, not too wet. That is the hard part of the easy part
Sorry I might have missed it. Do you cover the cuttings to keep moisture in or feed / water from the bottom with the top off?
Yes I do! That’s an important part and sometimes a tricky part. The humidity helps, but then also creates a chance for mold…and then you need to acclimate the cuttings to “full air” once they’re rooted. So try to open the dome periodically to let some fresh air it…and when transitioning out of the dome once it is rooted, it’s about increasing the fresh air time each day for several days
Thanks for this video! Can I tip them now (late Feb) in zone 7?
Yes you can! Probably a great time (even with me being a little late). They will wake up, sprout and put down new roots
How do you plant the sweet potato slips after they sprout? Do you cut the potato to separate? Do you plant the in the ground afterwards? Im in the Trooper, Montgomery county PA area. When would i plant the slips?
Howdy Neighbor! Last year I cut the stems above the tuber when the vines were around 6-8 inches. Some I transplanted to a small container to root before transplanting, others I cut and transplanted directly (just poke the shoot into soil). 8 in total, all rooted well. You want to plant outside after evening temperatures stay above 55 degrees. So right around June 1, for us near Philly, take a look at the 10 day forecast. Don’t forget the weather could be off by a few degrees, so plant when the coast is clear of 55 at night for sure.
@@backyardnursery7008 Oh, so you don't cut into the potato and remove the root system inside? Or is there no root inside?
Right, no roots anywhere, when you cut it. You cut the stem of the plant, put it in the dirt, and the stem grows roots, and eventually sweet potatoes!!
You may want to explain what growth medium you have in the tray in case one hasn't seen your previous video regarding the other cuttings in the tray.
I do fig pops in a cold room (45f) over bottom heat (76f) dark room to get roots before leaves. I cover them with frost cloth which gives ventilación and keeps the warmth in. As they start to send out leaves, they go in my greenhouse where they get light. I enjoyed your video.
Love it, that sounds like a great way to do it. Do you have a fig “collecting” problem, like I do? I just keep making baby fig trees
I can't throw any trimmings away. I have over 120 trees in ground and a few in pots. I am rooting a bazillion this year! I'm in 7b.
Hello, I just found your channel because I purchased a ‘Japanese Holly’ and was doing research on propagating it. Because of your honest humor of your new channel, I decided to check more of your videos. Again, because of your honest humor on this video (cup blocking the hidden secrets 😂), I subscribed. I want to let you know, I like how you put ‘Update’ on your update videos, it really helps if looking for an actual up update. Which brings me to....I would love an update to the ‘Japanese Holly’. Now as for this experiment on your fig starts. My curiosity question is (would be), the two that started (two varieties cut in two) growing roots, were they both the top portion or the bottom, or even one of each? Good luck to you and I look forward to your future videos.
Well, thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it. I think you may be on to something, the two fastest were both bottom cuts, distinct varieties.
It is interesting. I m wanting seeds or plants of purslane, how n where do I get i
Hopefully someone seeing this can help you, @gertrudefernandes2184. I purchased mine in the summer at Lowes, just walking through. They are annuals where I live. It was an unplanned purchase for me!
@@backyardnursery7008 Thanks my dear. God bless you n your sweet family. I m from India, Mumbai.
What ingredients Are in the poinsettia rooting compound? I’m trying is plain water. Maybe in a few months, I’ll clip a few branches and try in soil the way you showed… they grow huge and easy.
The active ingredient is Indole-3-butyric acid.
The next step in your process shall be keeping these newly rooted cuttings growing throughout the year. Excellent Video. 👍 😊
Thank you. I appreciate that. I think I have to control my focus and stop moving on to keep growing more plants. I’ll add this great idea to the list and see if I can get a good example or two
How did the water cuttings go? I couldn't find an update on that method
Thanks for the question and follow up. My water propagated poinsettias did not make it, unfortunately :(. I’m testing and learning here.
Thx for this video… I know I’m late but I’ve been trying to keep my poinsettias for years but just did not think they would thrive … my girlfriend told me that she have a huge one that she leaves on her front porch… she’s had it for two years now … it’s a beautiful dark green foliages during the summer months … I’m watching from Georgia in the US … it get pretty hot here in zone 8 or 9 I think
I know what you mean. It gets cold here so people keep them indoors. Sending you good vibes for success this year!
Have you tried rooting in sand? Might be better success rates
That’s a great recommendation, thank you
Thank you, these are $40 in my area but I have some free ones already in my yard
That’s great, will you propagate them? Let me know how it goes! Hoping it’s as easy for you as it was here.
same here I take off all new growth and propogate and let it grow more for me on the mother plant

We know you were kidding :0)
Hahaha, thank you!
So the more woody sticks got the best results?
It’s a Goldilocks thing. Not too soft, not too hard.
Whats the best time of year to do this?
That video is late fall (you can see the leaves turning), but to your question, best time is probably late winter, just before Spring

How do I trans plant a small holloy and what do I use.
I cut very small pieces like only 1 node down and 2 leaves up, that s all and they root 100%
So amazing!!!!
you think you can just plant them with the pulp still intact and they will still germinate as long as its kept nice and moist?
Great question. I have not tried. That’s one way nature does it, so it should work. One thing I worry about is having extra reasons for mold and rot, which is the biggest problem I have. Let me know if you try it
Good to know..
