How to take care ‘Pink Frost’ Sweet Potato Vine plant
For the most part, sweet potato vines are independent and will take care of themselves, but here’s some helpful hints for best results.
While full sun is ideal, sweet potato vines accept partial to full shade as well. Their leaves may be differently colored in full shade conditions than they would be in full sun.
Well-drain is perfect for the sweet potato plant. If the ground is soggy for too long, its root system can develop rot, which will kill it. Otherwise, fertilizing is really not necessary provided that your soil is well-balanced. You can fertilize on occasion to spur rapid growth, but otherwise it’s not necessary.
Moderate watering is best. You want to keep the soil moist, but not wet or soggy.
Sweet potato vines spread quite rapidly, so regular pruning is required. Pruning can be done at any time of year. It’s most needed during the spring and summer months when the weather is warm and the plants are growing fast.
If you are trying to train your vines to fork out and create a thicker ground cover or to promote a mounding pattern, try to trim just above a place where there’s a pair of leaves, as it will encourage the vine to split in two at the leaf buds
