Propagating Potato Vine

Mark Anderson I repotted a potato vine that was overwintered unde

lights but wasn't doing very well. When I took it out of its container, the entire container was filled with root tubers. This could have been th reason the plant didn't look good.

So I separated the tubers and stuck each into a separate container. If everything goes right I should have a lot of potato vines this year. My problem is that after more than a week it doesn't look like anythin is happening. Is there something else I needed to do or should I just be patient? Is there a way to check the tuber to make sure it's eve alive to grow into a new plant? I'm in Zone 5 Chicago and the last fe weeks have been kind of cold outside.

when u separated the tubers were u able to keep much of the root bas to them? if not then it will take time for the tubers to establish ne roots. i would just be patient and wait and see what happens. good luck and hope they all come. cyaaaa, sockiescat

Did the tubers already have eyes? My earliest potatoes came up three weeks after planting, the last couple are poking out now, 8 weeks after planting.
