The your potato was quite the survivor too try this out place an air potato in a box and then put the box inside a closet for five or six weeks. When you open the box, you will have at least a two to four foot vine growing from the potato.

The potato has everything that the plant needs to survive for months until conditions are right for it to start growing again.

Air potatoes do not do very well in colder weather and as such, helps to limit how far north the potato can spread here in the tampa bay area, though, the climate is just right for it to grow, making it rather difficult to get rid of.
