As kids, my sister and I grew several of these vines from sweet potatos set in a jar of water. The sweet potato produces vine-like stems that resemble the philodendron plant. Place the sweet potato in a container of water. Keep the top 1/3 of the potato exposed by placing toothpicks into the sides. The pointed end should be down in the water. In a few weeks a vine with several stems will begin to sprout. Sweet potatoes like a bright, sunny location and require care like green house plants such as ivy. Fertilize about once a month. If the sweet potato vine gets too long, cut it back a few inches to force the vine to get bushier. If you want, your sweet potato vines can be planted outside in late May to produce sweet potatoes that can be dug and eaten in the fall. If not, it will just die, and you can do it again...
