Growing tips

The potato is a heavy grower and prefers deep and nutrient-rich soil without waterlogging in a moderate, sunny climate. Seed potatoes should be pre-sprouted about 4 weeks before the planting date, e.g. in an egg box in a bright place without direct sun. You should keep the seed potatoes warm until they sprout, then they can sprout further in a cooler place. This sequence encourages the formation of many large potatoes. As soon as the tuber formation begins, the potato plants need a lot of water. However, you should avoid waterlogging at all costs. Piling soil around the plants several times during tuber formation ensures that more tubers can form.
