alot just drown them trust me im a garderner myself and i love sweet potatos so just drown them with water
actually, they don't need any more water than other plants and when the tubers are forming in the late summer, they will not form large ones if there is a lot of water. Dry soil grows the best and largest sweet potato tubers.

Why does your potato look like its sprouting popcorn?
Those are called the "eyes" of the potato and sprout when the potato isn't as fresh any longer; these are called seed potatoes. You can actually plant the potato "eyes" (or the whole potato) and they will grow more potatoes, but you have to do it at the right planting time for where you live.
