The sprouted yam, placed in a flowerpot, actually climbed all over the wall and produced yam beans.

Planting Yams with Yam Sticks

Step 1

The yam stick is the root of the yam. If you want to grow yam, you can choose the iron stick yam and break off the top part, which is the easiest part to germinate.

Step 2

Clean the skin of the broken yam sticks and place them in a shallow plate or hydroponic bottle for hydroponics. Whether placed horizontally or vertically, the water level should not be too full, just cover 1/3 of the yam sticks. Keep the water clean and change the water every 2 days.

Step 3

If you want to grow it in soil, you can place the yam stick horizontally in the flowerpot and cover it with about 5 cm of soil. If the yam has already sprouted, you can expose the sprouted end above the soil surface. After planting, water thoroughly.

Step 4

For hydroponic yam, spray water on the yam sticks every day to keep it moist and promote germination. The yam will sprout after a few weeks and can be exposed to more sunlight after sprouting. The more sun it gets, the faster it grows.

Step 5

When the stems of yam grow to a certain length, you need to build a support to help it climb. Look at this climbing yam, isn't it uglier than ivy?

Growing Yams with Yam Beans

Step 1

Go to the market to buy some yam beans, pick the big and round ones, and avoid the shriveled and small ones.

Step 2

Put the yam beans in a plastic bag, spray it with water, then tie the bag and place it in a warm, diffused light place. When the water dries up, spray it. In about a week, the roots and small sprouts of the yam beans will grow out.

Step 3

After small sprouts appear, the yam beans can be planted in the soil or placed in a hydroponic bottle.

Step 4

When the vine grows up, you can build a frame for it. Wait until autumn to pick the yam beans, place them in a ventilated and cool place, and then plant them in the spring of the following year.
