Growing Potato Plant Time Lapse - Sprouting Eyes to Potatoes (90 Days)

Time lapse of growing eyes of potatoes into harvestable tubers over 90 days. The eye was cut off of a store-bought russet potato that stayed forgotten in its storage for a while. It was then planted in a container with potting soil. The plant was growing fast with strong roots and blooming into lots of flowers. After 90 days, we decided to harvest tubers and their size is really pixie cute. It probably need a larger planting container, to begin with, in order to achieve the typical russet potatoes size.

That's crazy how from just a small piece grew such a large plant and had so many potatoes

أظن أن هذا النوع من الفطر غير صالح للاستعمال البشري 😊😢

Thank you, at last found a sensible answer 90 days, was wondering how and when, thanks so much, easy to understand clip.❤

Had half a bag of giant russets sprout on me in early spring. Prepped my raised beds with fresh, fertile soil and planted the 12 russets. Three weeks of typical Chicago “spring” weather (snow/rain/hot/cold) later, and the plants are already huge. Can’t wait to dig em up in August!

[@fah6601]

Did you plant them quite shallow or closer to the top?
I'm trying to grow potatoes and was told to plant them shallow and cover the leaves with soil everytime the leaves sprout through, but the last time I did that, I got to the top of my pot and then the leaves just stopped growing and died

[@yamanmustafa7574]

British weather has been the same this year. Planted some white maincrops about 100 days ago, had ok results with the ones I pulled 10 days ago, will wait a few more days to pull the second lot out.
Coincidentally, I planted russets that chitted in the cupboard about ten days ago!

How was the harvest?

[@thomaslewis247]

this is one of those many time where i think “what the heck were our ancestors thinking when they decided to eat that?? lol

[@johnlewisbrooks]

It's amazing how fast these grow lol!

[@Itsjessxx]

I have just planted some potatoes I found growing in my cupboard and im so excited for them to grow 🪴

[@yair5043]

update?

[@Itsjessxx]

@@yair5043 they were quite small potatoes so they gave me small potatoes when I harvested but was super cool to grow my own. I highly recommend to do the same if you have old potatoes growing eyes in your cupboard

[@johnsheetz6639]

It's kind of cool kind of ghetto, but I grew some on accident throwing skins out the back door of the trailer. They were damn good too

[@StarsheyNZ]

@@Itsjessxx If you want bigger potatoes from smaller potatoes, just make sure they have no more than 2 eyes on them so that all of the energy goes into growing those two sprouts, otherwise, it uses all the energy to grow all the eyes resulting in smaller potatoes, which is still cool, just a tip is all :)

[@Itsjessxx]

@@StarsheyNZ omg I never knew that! Thank you so much for telling me 💕

[@toptier2800]

damn thats a big ass plant just from one slice

[@thedannyjenkinsman]

Excellent, well done

[@BasilLevski]

Love the video.

[@hmr1122]

Don't harvest right after flowering, potatoes should be harvested when the green dries, that's the sign that the plant ended it's cycle, until then they still grow.
Of course there are some special types of potatoes you want to harvest early before they develop thicker skin or you prefer the smaller ones.

[@SicilianNubian27]

All this came from just one?! Is that the reason you use such a bigger container ?? I’m sorry but I am just so in awe! And excited to try!!

[@eLapseTime]

Yes, all came from one. You should use a bigger container. A 10-gallon + container works better.

[@sadman9758]

Amazing

[@handyjayes1]

Lol.. 😂... that was crazy! Looked like it was taking over the world!!

[@RafiqulIslam-pi7yb]

I didn't know that potato have flowers

[@obiefunandulue3466]

they also have fruit!

[@lucchesi87]

@@obiefunandulue3466 which is poisonous AF

[@JayTX.]

​@@obiefunandulue3466 they got root

[@SirSkippy87]

Not only do they have flowers they turn into what looks like a green cherry tomato that contain the seeds of the plant. No good to eat though! Not surprising since potatoes and tomatoes are in the same family!

[@flopsuma]

Every single plant has flower. I mean how else would they be supposed to reproduce.

[@RoseVerdict]

Now I want to grow my own potatoes! *diy mashed taters here i come*

[@disguisedcat1750]

No sun… need more light

[@junglexi473]

Only water it on the first day?

[@eLapseTime]

Nope, I watered it frequently but only shown the first time.

[@ANImE_X_EdItZ120]

I have 14 days potato plant

[@Kindog1223]

That’s weird, when I grew mine it grew straight up with less leaves

[@dcc3328]

Why theres fungus

[@marulucido2367]

Because it's a sign the tubers are ready to dig up!

[@josephkionisala2013]

Why there’s a fungi

[@marulucido2367]

It's not fungi, the foliage is dying because that's a sign that the potatoes are ready to dig up!

[@helo6824]

​@@marulucido2367 at the 12-20 day section, there were some mushrooms erupting from the soil

[@braydenalexis6053]

Various species of mushroom help to boost plant growth! their mycelium allows for easier absorption of nutrients resulting in stronger plants!

[@Ie1222_]

Aaaand he harvested it too early.

[@tusharjharia8346]

What steroids you used to grow them? 😂

[@jefferyfengplayz1150]

I’m sorry for giving you a dislike but I cannot see anything it’s just a black screen video

[@eLapseTime]

Just checked. Nothing wrong, the video works normal.
