I finally got around to taking some cuttings from my 'Blackie' sweetpotato vine on Wednesday. Yesterday (Friday) I checked the glass they are in and discovered they have roots an inch long already!! Talk about instant gratification -- no wonder kids love them in school...
Hope I don't get overrun this winter when I'm keeping the potted cuttings on the enclosed porch for next spring. ;-] I generally leave my other house-type plants and sturdier orchids outside until the night-time temps drop to the mid-40s, usually sometime in October. I move them back out when the night temps are steadily above the mid-40s in the spring. Have never grown this plant before, and have no idea how tender it is -- any suggestions as to how long I can leave the potted cuttings outdoors this fall would be much appreciated. TIA!
Happy trails....
