Yes, the potato vine, specifically the leaves and stems of the plant, is considered toxic. It contains solanine, a glycoalkaloid that can cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and even more severe health issues if ingested in large quantities. However, the tubers (the actual potatoes) are safe to eat when cooked properly. It’s important to avoid consuming the green parts of the plant.
are sweet potato vines toxic to house cats?
plant it
A sweet potato grows in the ground as a tuber. It is a vine plant.
The Dutchman's pipe vine is poisonous to the Richmond Birdwing butterfly larvae. The butterfly lays its eggs on the vine, but when the larvae emerge and begin eating the vine, they are poisoned by the toxins.
Probably not. I have included two web links to help you make sure. See the related links below. There is also a vine called Potato Vine which is a member of the Solanum family and it is toxic, as are the vines of the sweet potato.

To grow a purple sweet potato vine successfully, plant the vine in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. Water the vine regularly, but avoid overwatering. Provide support for the vine to climb, and fertilize it occasionally with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest the sweet potatoes when they are mature for best results.
I have been told that the greens of potato palnts are poisonous to horses. I am researching this now and will report back. Yes the green parts of the potato plant are poisonous. The potato is a member of the nightshade family. They contain solanin which is a nerve toxin that is very toxic even in small amounts.
Yes, this is because the potato plant itself is poisonous. The only non-poisonous part of the potato plant is the starch inside the tuber. You are not even suppose to eat the potato peel. And under non-circumstance are you to eat of the potato fruit. Because the potato bug can eat the potato plant it inherits its poisons. Keep in mind though that "poisonous" does not mean "venomous". The potato bug may be poisonous to eat, but it is not venomous, meaning it cannot bite you and inject venom into your body. The only way you could ever be harmed by a potato bug is if you ate enough of them to become sick from their protective poison.
no there not poisonous it just a potato that's not fully grown yet .
A potato can become poisonous if It has been left out in sunlight for to long and shows greening or discoloring under its skin. This is because potatoes are meant to be stored in a cold and dark place (as they grow underground). The sunlight causes a chemical reaction that can become poisonous in potatoes.
