How long do potato plants take to grow?

Potato plants can take anywhere from 60 to 120 days to grow, depending on the variety of potato and the growing conditions.

Early season potatoes, such as fingerlings and red potatoes, can be ready to harvest in as little as 60 days. Main season potatoes, such as russets and yellow potatoes, typically take around 90 days to mature. Late season potatoes, such as blue potatoes and purple potatoes, can take up to 120 days to grow.

The growing conditions can also affect the time it takes for potato plants to grow. Potatoes grow best in cool, moist climates. In hot, dry climates, potatoes may take longer to mature and may produce smaller yields.

Here are some tips for growing potatoes:

* Choose a variety of potato that is suited to your climate.

* Plant potatoes in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.

* Water potatoes regularly, especially during hot, dry weather.

* Fertilize potatoes every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer.

* Harvest potatoes when the vines start to turn yellow and the potatoes are firm to the touch.
