Potato plants grow at different speeds. It depends on the type of potato! But i am actually a potato farmer so i know alot about growing potatoes. It takes about a month for them to grow but then about a week for them to be ready. So about a month and 1 week! But it really depends on the type of potato

I hope that helped you!

it depends on how many "eyes" the potatoe that you plant in the ground has. these are the little nodules on the potaoes. so you might only have 3 or 4 or around a dozen.

What are the little round fruits that the flowers from the potato plants grow into and are they used for anything?

Those little "fruits" on the potato plant are exactly that - they are the fruit of the plant and, like all fruits, contain the seeds to grow new plants.The potato plant is from the same family as the tomato, Solanaceae, so those little fruits are the equivalent of the etable tomato that grows on the tomato plant. The potato fruit, however, is poisonous, as are all the above-ground parts of the potato plant, so do not attempt to eat them.You can grow potato plants from the seeds but it is a bit of a waste of time since the plant grows easily from the "eyes" of the potato tuber itself, either whole or cut up, provided there is at least one eye on each piece that you plant.

Will divided potato produce more plants than a whole potato?

When a potato is beginning to grow eyes appear on the skin, if planted it is the eyes that grow.If you can divide the potato with eyes on both pieces then yes you will get a plant from each piece.But don't divide them too small, in the early days of growth the plant 'feeds' on the food stored in the potato.

If you pick a potato does it die?

The straight-forward is answer is no, at least not straight away... The potato is a tuber and, as part of the plant's root system, has the ability, like many plant roots, to regenerate the plant if it is removed from the root system. A simple way to demonstrate this ability is to take a potato and leave it in a dark drawer/cupboard for a couple of weeks. The potato will grow shoots (known as eyes) as it attempts to find light and soil to grow. If you then plant the potato it will grow into a potato plant again. If the potato is left out of the soil too long it will eventually dry up, begin to rot and then it will die.
