potato plants produce flowers, fruits and seeds. Yet they never grow from the seeds. why?

Potato plants can be grown from seeds but the potatoes produced in this process are usually very small in size and fewer in quantity. They are mini tubers, not full size potatoes. To obtain good quality bigger potatoes the plants should be grown from the cut tubers with ‘eyes’ or buds.

Potatoes are generally propagated from tubers(potatoes). Seed potatoes are small or under-ripe tubers with one or more pronounced eyes(buds on the side of the tuber). Any potato with living eyes can be used to grow a potato plant.

One excellent method for propagating potatoes from ripe tubers is to cut the potato in half, making sure that a few well-formed eyes are on each half. Place each half in a shallow bowl with water and set it in a sunny spot until visible roots develop. Once roots are present, transplant into a small mound in sunny location and encourage growth with light liquid fertilizer and regular waterings.
