Beschreibung

The potato is a herbaceous, fast-growing nightshade plant with many different varieties. These differ in tuber size, shape and color, harvest time (early and late potatoes) and direction of use (from firm to floury).

Anbautipps

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.
