- Soil requirements: Red potatoes prefer well-drained, loose, and slightly acidic soil with a pH level between 5.0 and 6.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good aeration to promote healthy root development.
- Sunlight needs: Red potatoes require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Red potatoes need consistent moisture, especially during the tuber formation stage. Water them deeply once a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant red potato seeds is in early spring, after the last frost date. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Depth and spacing: Plant red potato seeds (or seed potatoes) about 4 inches deep and 12 inches apart in rows that are spaced 30-36 inches apart. Ensure the eyes of the seed potatoes are facing up.
- Germination time: Red potato seeds typically take 2-4 weeks to sprout, depending on soil temperature and conditions.
- Maturity time: Red potatoes generally take about 70-90 days to reach maturity after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest red potatoes is when the foliage starts to yellow and die back. This usually occurs in late summer or early fall.
- Harvesting tips: Use a garden fork or spade to gently lift the potatoes from the soil. Be careful not to damage the tubers. After harvesting, allow the potatoes to cure in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area for about 1-2 weeks before storing them. Store the cured potatoes in a cool, dark place with good air circulation to prolong their shelf life.
