Watering Water regularly during growth, keeping soil evenly moist; sweet potato and wasabi prefer consistently moist conditions.
Best Growing Conditions Grow potatoes and sweet potatoes in sunny, sheltered positions using deep containers or fertile garden soil, keeping compost consistently moist. Wasabi prefers a cooler, shaded spot with moist, well-drained, organic-rich soil. Water all plants regularly, protect from frost, and harvest when foliage naturally dies back for the best results.
