Ipomea batatas (sweet potato) belonging to family "Convolvulaceae" can be well propagated by choosing disease free, 5-6 inches of a healthy vine preferably with new leaves on top portion of it, cut at an angle of 45 degree at a node and growing it in a jar of water until roots start appearing. Once roots start developing, the cutting should be transplanted into a soil containing pot where it will grow into an adult plant.
