It is better to plant the cut pieces of potato with the eye pointing upward so that it can help in sprouting of the bud.

  • Each eye of a potato acts like a bud from which a plant will be formed.
  • In order for it to sprout, the eye of the potato shall receive more sunlight so that it can sprout.
  • This is the reason that the eye in a cut piece of potato is planted upwards.
  • It is only after sprouting that roots and shoots will grow from the eye of the potato.
