How To Grow Potatoes In A Pot Step By Step

It is possible to grow a potato plant from a shop-bought potato, though results may vary. Choose firm potatoes showing small buds or eyes and place them in a bright, cool spot to encourage sprouting. Once shoots appear, cut large potatoes into sections ensuring each piece has at least one sprout and allow them to dry for a day before planting.

Growing Potatoes In Growpots For Strong Crops

Plant your sprouted potatoes 10 to 15 centimetres deep in soil or compost. As the plants grow, continue adding layers of compost until the container is nearly full. This layering encourages extra tubers along the stem. Water evenly and feed every two to three weeks with a balanced potato fertiliser such as 14 14 21 for steady growth.

During cold weather, protect your plants by moving the pots indoors overnight or covering them with garden fleece. Regular watering and feeding help maintain consistent growth and flavourful new potatoes. These growpots for potatoes are reusable and can be easily cleaned ready for the next growing season.

Questions About Potato Grow Pots For Growing Potatoes In A Pot

Can I grow potatoes from supermarket potatoes in these pots?

Can I reuse the grow pots every year?

Yes, they can be reused each season. Clean thoroughly with mild detergent and allow to dry completely before storing.

Do I need to add drainage material at the bottom of the pot?

Start planting in early spring when the risk of frost has passed, and continue harvesting new potatoes throughout summer and early autumn.

Tips for Growing Potatoes in Pots

• You can start harvesting up to 2 weeks earlier by pre-sprouting, or ‘chitting’ the seed potatoes. Place them in a light, frost free location with the bud end upwards. Egg boxes are ideal for this as it stops the potatoes falling over. This can be done from February.

• The process can be started in a greenhouse but once the potatoes have sprouted they should be moved outdoors.

• Potatoes cannot withstand frost. If there is a chance of frost, move the pot indoors overnight, or cover with garden fleece.

• Use ‘early’ or salad potato varieties.

• Re-plant in August for a Christmas crop.

Replace the inner pot, leaving more to grow. Harvest again in 10-14 days.
