@felixxx hmm.. you know quineaker lives in a place with a different weather than ours - so his formula may need some tweaking on it.
I've grown them successfully as you can see in this post and I started in February too - put them on top of the sink and only used tap water. Eventually it's going to rot - it's normal man. I got another one growing in the greenhouse now. Its pretty slow though because its been cold this year - shoot ! Stupid unpredictable weather! haha
Good luck anyway

The climate shouldn't really make much of a difference, when I just try to make it grow roots (?).
I've tried all sorts of exotic fruits.
And Texas isn't like the tropics, really ...
It's just an experiment.
do you have willow trees around you?
if you do, cut some of the young tips of it, boil it and let cool
cut the sweet potato into half and let it soak there for three days
the willow juice will serve as an organic growth hormone kind'a boost
then you can directly plant your sweet potato to the soil and just water 2x a day
good luck anyway .. even if you get to grow them, you will have to grow at least 5 to achieve a huge harvest
that's the annoying part about growing them here
if we were in Spain or in South Italy we'll have more luck
Did you check the video by quinneaker ?
I wanted to plant those slips not a whole fruit.
Yeah, got willow trees.
