Sweet potatoes with vertical cultivation: raise the vines for a greater yield in less space.

Sweet potatoes, appreciated for their nutritional richness and versatility, represent a challenge for gardeners who have to deal with limited spaces. However, a new technique has emerged: the vertical cultivation of sweet potatoes. This innovative method focuses on the elevation of vines while maintaining traditional growth in the soil, offering a promising solution for growers with space limits looking for higher yields.

Revealing the vertical growth

Vertical gardening has revolutionized the way we grow crops in limited spaces. In the case of sweet potatoes, this technique consists in promoting the growth of the vines upwards, while allowing tubers to develop conventionally in the soil. By raising the vines, growers seek to optimize sun exposure, a crucial factor to improve photosynthesis and ultimately increase the plant’s energy production.
