Water Ipomea batatasTenere Umido
The Ipomea batatas Needs regular watering, but we suggest letting the soil dry between one watering and the other; let's take action every 2-3 weeks , remembering to water the substratum well with 2-3 glasses of water . 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.

Light Ipomea batatasPosizione mezza ombra
It prefers partially shady locations, where it can be reached by the solar rays only during the coolest hours of the day. We suggest growing the the Ipomea batatas in a place where it's sheltered by frost; when all dangers of late freezings are gone we can locate them outdoors.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.

Pests 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.

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