Sweet potatoes should be planted 1-2 inches deep, with the pointed end facing up.
This depth allows the roots to develop properly and the shoots to emerge easily.
Here are some additional factors to consider:
- Soil type: Loamy soil is ideal for sweet potatoes. In sandy soil, you may need to plant slightly deeper.
- Climate: In warmer climates, you may need to plant slightly shallower.
- Variety: Some sweet potato varieties may require slightly different planting depths.
Remember: Always check the seed packet or plant tag for specific planting instructions for your chosen variety.
