Patrick's survival guide

Professional foodie

Need to know what 5-star restaurants are in your vicinity at all times? Sounds like you need a friend like Patrick… Plantsome’s very own walking Yelp guide. No matter how exquisitely Patrick dines, he won’t snub a steaming hot side of fries, nor a street ‘dog. The more food, the better. The only thing he won’t tolerate is a picky eater—unless, of course, you’re eating what HE picks.

How to care for Patrick

The Ipomoea Batatas, otherwise known as the sweet potato vine, is a vining outdoor plant that comes in a variety of stunning colours. The perfect ground cover, basket filler, or focal point, it does best in full sun and will produce richly coloured leaves. The sweet potato vine prefers moist, well-draining soil, but otherwise is a fairly easy care plant. Pruning and fertilizing can be done on an as-needed basis. The Sweet Potato Makatea produces potatoes with orange skin and white flesh, and is a delicious edible plant! When harvesting, only brush off the dirt before storing. Wash the potatoes before consuming.

How do you measure height?

Good question! We measure the height from the top of the plant to the bottom of the pot (including the pot itself).

Oh no. I am sold out! :(

Got a gift card for my birthday in the gift box (Fred the air plant was much larger than expected!) and after much though and deliberation given how large their assortment is, chose three plants to order. All three arrived earlier than expected and in fairly good condition, in very well planned packaging that even included a heat pack. They were a bit smushed but they seemed healthy - no pests - and are doing well now. The only problem I had was with just how full the pots were which made them a bit difficult to transport and water especially since they were pretty large given their pot size; definitely have to repot them within the year. Oh and the ceramic pot I ordered as well came and looks very cute! It's a touch small for their nursery pots, they fit inside but with a bit of a lip over the top, but otherwise look great. Definitely would recommend and plan on buying more in the future :D Read less

I ordered 2 plants in late January 2022 which were posted to me in the Okanagan. They arrived within a couple days with a heat pack that was still emitting heat. They were well packed and look healthy. Thanks for the gift of green in the dark of winter! Read less

So stoked on our order! It came in quick, in great conditions and the plants are lovely. They also use cardboard and brown paper, which is great! There was no plastic in the packaging. They even added 2 succulents as a gift in our order. Kelsi, one of their staff member even reached out to me to make sure I didn't make a mistake because not all the pots I ordered fit the plants I ordered (it was for some plants that I already owned, but how sweet?!) First time we purchased for Plantsome and definitely not the last. Great experience!! Read less
