Irrigation Ipomea batatasTenere Umido
These plants favour quite regular watering, usually 2-3 glasses of water ; we advise in any case to irrigate every 2-3 weeks , when the soil is dry. Before harvesting and using them, let’s be informed on the balsamic period, rather the period in which the active principles are present in a greater quantity in the plant we have chosen.

Temperatures Ipomea batatasPosizione mezza ombra
For a balanced development of the the Ipomea batatas , let's choose a partially shaded place, where it can enjoy direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day. The Ipomea batatas can't tolerate freezings, therefore it is best to grow it in a cold green house or in an apartment; during late Spring we can place them outside, when all risks of freezings are unprobable.Let’s remember that a large part of the leaves of the medicinal plants can be used for alimentary use, therefore let’s use insecticides and anticryptogamics for agricultural use, far from harvest season.

Care Ipomea batatas
The Ipomea batatas develops bulbs or tubers. It has a climber development, for a correct development it is best to place these plants near a support on which they can develop themselves. This plant in the winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 1,5 m high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Adversity Ipomea batatas
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Ipomea batatas
These medicinal plants prefer slightly heavy soils, with an average drainage, and too humid.
