1. Avoid light. Avoid light, the so-called dark place. The first condition for potatoes to sprout is light. If it is isolated from light, the chance of it sprouting will become very small.
2. Dry. Keeping it dry prevents the potatoes from absorbing water and allows the cells inside them to begin to differentiate and produce germs. As long as the storage place is kept dry so that the potatoes cannot absorb free moisture in the air, the possibility of them sprouting will also be reduced.
3. It is best not to remove the soil on the potatoes. The soil can isolate the potatoes from direct contact with the outside air, avoid direct sunlight on the potatoes during the day, and reduce the possibility of them growing germs.
4. Try to store it on a higher shelf. Store them higher to prevent potatoes from coming into contact with the earth's atmosphere. Earth atmosphere is the so-called moisture and heat on the ground, which is another important factor that promotes plant germination. If potatoes are contaminated too much, they will also take root and sprout.
