Q.I Have Planted Some Sweet Potato Slits. The Plants Grow Great For A While Then Develop Whitish/clear Bumps On The Leaves.
What are these bumps? Are they dangerous? How do I get rid of them? Please advise. Thank you very much.

The photo blurs when I try to zoom in but it could be edema (oedema). The cause is usually a watering problem. This article will help you decide what to do:

Also, watch out for aphids and mealybugs, which also attack sweet potato vines.
