Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the Molokai Purple Sweet Potato seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and encourage germination.

Sowing:

Plant the seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in prepared soil, either directly in the garden or in containers if starting indoors.
Space the seeds 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart in rows spaced 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) apart.

Germination:

Molokai Purple Sweet Potato seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days when provided with warm soil temperatures (70-80°F or 21-27°C).
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination.

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, transplant the seedlings outdoors once they have developed several sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide consistent moisture throughout the growing season, aiming for 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) of water per week.
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain even soil temperatures.
Monitor for pests such as sweet potato weevils, aphids, and slugs, and treat as necessary using organic methods.
Harvest sweet potatoes when the foliage begins to yellow and die back, typically 90-120 days after planting.
Store harvested sweet potatoes in a cool, dry place with good air circulation to prevent rotting.

Happy gardening!
