Growing Guidelines
Sweet potatoes thrive in warm, sunny conditions with well-drained, sandy loam soil. Plant the slips after the last frost when the soil temperature reaches at least 60°F (15°C). Space the plants 12–18 inches apart in rows or raised beds. Water consistently during the initial establishment phase, then reduce watering once the vines are well-developed to encourage deeper rooting and prevent splitting.
Harvest & Storage
Red Haruka is ready to harvest when the leaves begin to yellow, typically in late summer or early fall. Carefully dig the tubers to avoid bruising. Curing is essential to maximize sweetness: store the harvested sweet potatoes in a warm (80–85°F / 27–29°C), humid environment for 7–14 days. This process converts starches into sugars, resulting in the signature sweet taste that Red Haruka is loved for.
