    I want to grow sweet potatoes. Is it possible to plant those tubers that are sold in the supermarket? How to properly prepare them for landing?

      - If you are sure of the quality of these tubers, then they can be used to obtain cuttings, which are planted to get a crop. Often, the tubers from the store behave unpredictably, their growth is weakened, the cuttings are sluggish, and there are few of them, since the tubers are treated with growth inhibitors.
      You can start sprouting your sweet potato tubers in March, but it is better to start sprouting those from the store in February.

      Before sprouting, be sure to soak the tubers in a fungicide or biofungicide solution (for example, Fitosporin-M is excellent). Dip half of the tuber cut side down into a container of water. Make sure that the liquid covers the tuber by only a couple of centimeters. Change the water once a day. After about a month, the cuttings can be separated and planted in the soil.
