Update no one asked for: Had to put on the ‘ol thinkin’ cap to address this conundrum. My feeble brain devised cutting larger than hole swatches of old, cheap fabric pots (have a few of these that were throw ins on grow shop purchases etc). Then fed them up/tucked by hand to essentially patch from the inside. I’m going to give ‘em a MaxiGro drink tonight, so I just need it to not gush out the side ;)
Did a pretty thorough patch (cut two squares to double it up). Fingers and toes crossed. No, I’m not entertaining transplanting it yet and don’t really want to if it can be avoided. The plant in here (critter chose the PBB container - nice one) is already about 3’ tall, so as long as it ain’t super porous and holds, inclined to ride it out.

Who knows about propagating sweet potatoes? I'd really like to grow these out. The rest of it was delicious View attachment 5402608
I've planted them twice before, sitting on a tobacco planter - same spacing. Much longer cuttings though.
In your case, you could bury them about 4" to 6" deep and 12 to 18" apart, hill slightly once up and let it's vines spread and root - fruits on the roots! It's a hardy plant.

At the end of the day I challenged the sister of the kid beside me planting to a foot race in my boots. $20 was on the line. I wanted it to be 50m and she negotiated for 60m. I lost to a 10yo in the last 7m or so and parted with $20. She is a champion swimmer, I knew better. Fun to engage all the same and she was quite proud. Earned it.

I had raced her 14yo cousin 5 years earlier and beat him in a 40m dash. He pouted, said some shit and sauntered home. Neighbours - good times.

It is but it's my rubber plant lol. My great gm called it her rubber tree because she didn't trim it and let it just bend, get heavy and weighed and rest on the floor and grow up. Please let me keep my name for it lol!
Found this beautiful one in a nursery when I was just wondering around other day. In a room with other exotic plants. Gotta ask how old.
