Plant Care & Growing Tips

For successful cultivation of your Russet Seed Potatoes, proper care is essential. These potatoes prefer full sun exposure but can also tolerate medium to low sun. Plant them in well-draining soil with a neutral pH. Ideal soil types include Chalk, Clay, Loam, Peat, Saline, Sand, and Silt. Ensure the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged; a medium watering schedule is typically sufficient.
