Planting Instructions
Soak Heirloom Non-GMO Dioscorea Alata Yam Seeds for Planting in warm water for 24–48 hours to enhance germination. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Space seeds 4–6 inches apart and plant 4–6 inches deep, placing the sprouted end upwards. Ensure soil temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C) for optimal growth.
Sunlight & Soil
Grow in full sun with well-drained, loamy soil enriched with organic matter. Ideal conditions include temperatures between 75–85°F (24–29°C) and a well-distributed annual rainfall of 1200–2000 mm.
Watering Tips
Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Best Season to Grow
Plant during late spring to early summer, after the last frost, when soil temperatures are consistently above 70°F (21°C).
Harvesting Info
Harvest yams 9–10 months after planting when the leaves yellow and die back. Carefully dig around the tubers to avoid damage. Cure harvested tubers in a cool, dry place before storage.
