Nutritional & Botanical Highlights Ube, or purple yam, is celebrated for its wonderful nutritional profile and the unique compounds that contribute to its vivid purple color.
- Rich in Key Nutrients: Purple yams are a good source of vitamin C.
- Contains Anthocyanins: Like other blue-pigmented berries and purple vegetables, ube contains anthocyanins, which are natural plant compounds with antioxidant properties responsible for its beautiful color.
- Complex Carbohydrates: Purple yams are full of complex carbohydrates and resistant starch (a type of starch that resists digestion in the small intestine).
Growth Habits & Best Practices
- Impressive Height: This lush tropical beauty can climb up to an amazing 100 feet when given a trellis!
- Light Preference: Loves the sun but is quite adaptable and can tolerate partial shade.
- Soil: Keeps this plant happy with rich, well-draining soil.
- Dormancy: In winter, typically from late November or early December, plants in zones 1-7 may enter a dormant phase until around March or April. The foliage might wither, dry, and disappear, but don't worry—the roots stay cozy underground unless they experience a prolonged, deep freeze. In zones 7-11, it grows as a perennial!
- Propagation: Ube propagates from vine cuttings easily by growing roots in water or directly planting in soil using a root stimulator.
- Where to Plant: A sunny or dappled light location in your backyard is perfect, especially with a sturdy trellis or a friendly tree for the vines to climb on! But don't worry, it's adaptable enough to thrive in a sunny room inside your house, too!
Planting Guide Once Roots are Established
- Dig a hole as wide as your pot or plant rhizome, aiming for approximately 2-4 inches deep.
- Carefully remove your plant or rhizome and place it in the hole.
- Fill the hole with soil, and give it a good, generous watering to help it settle in.
- If you're in zones lower than 7, remember to bring your potted plant inside for winter protection.
- Container Planting: For containers, plant 2-3 inches deep in a good quality, well-draining potting mix.
Care Routine
- Give it regular watering, but make sure to let the soil dry out nicely between waterings.
- Keep it happy by fertilizing with a balanced fertilizer every year.
- Fun Facts: Did you know there's a Ube Festival? It's a popular annual celebration of all things UBE! Humans have known and appreciated Ube since ancient times, truly a plant with a long and storied past.
Ideal For
- Home gardeners in warm regions who love unique and visually stunning plants.
- Gardeners eager to add eye-catching and productive plants to their landscape.
- Anyone interested in self-sufficiency and growing their own sustainable, nutrient-dense food sources that can continue to grow underground for years!
🚫 Not Ideal For
- Those residing in frigid regions below USDA Zone 5, unless you can bring a potted plant indoors for winter protection.
- Gardeners who don't have enough sun or a suitable trellis for climbing vines.

Highly recommend! Best in the market bar none
Number of Items: 1
I would like to say this is the perfect mouse and probably the best mouse you could buy on the market and it doesn't even come close. You can modify the mouse however you like with a click on the app. It's truly been a life changing experience with this mouse. With that being said, the perfect mouse does have a few flaws but nothing that would make me not recommend it to anyone only just be aware of these things. 1. It's a vertical mouse, sometimes it gets in the way and your wrist will knock it over, it will happen I promise you. 2. Logitech has a Flow feature meaning you can connect the mouse to three different computers at once if need be, qyeah I'll say it again, three computers connection! Wow! Well I only use it for two computers, the Flow works flawlessly but my gripe is how it sometimes doesn't sync with my Logitech keyboard Ergo K860, unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't come with the same Flow feature meaning I have to depend on the mouse to do it and it doesn't work sometimes and I have to switch between the mouse transition button to the key board transition button which makes for a long headache sometimes. 3. Believe it or not connection is sometimes an issue, it losses Bluetooth connection often and it doesn't matter which computer I use I have the same issues at work and home so I use the dongle for straight connection. Oh wait there are issues with the dongle connection too? Say it ain't so? It is! The issue comes when you have two dongles like me, the keyboard and the mouse, and try to connect both, like I said I have two computers and Logitech will not allow for their ”universal dongle” to connect to two different computers at the same time terrible design flaw. 4. Again, this mouse is incredible but it can sometimes be a little too much incredible, I know, I know but hear me out. The mouse is flawless fast, one quick wrist jerk and that mouse pointer on the screen is jumping all over the place, it's been hard to find a happy medium with the pointer, it's either you adjust to slow it down, making it too slow, or adjust to make it fast, which is too fast, again no happy medium even though there are plenty of settings to toggle with. I believe most vertical mouse tend to be that way anyway only with this mouse you can really tell the difference and that could be a good thing or bad thing depending on your perspective, it's sometimes a bad thing for me on Excel sheets. So the final verdict is this is still the best mouse out there and worth every penny and I would still give this 10 stars if possible, it's been a wonderful experience with this mouse. Again, the negatives are not bad or to make someone not buy it and considering the other features this mouse can do I recommend anyone who works all day on a computer to buy this product I highly recommend it.

9.8/10, would buy again!
Number of Items: 1
I bought this mouse in Sept 2020 and it's been absolutely fantastic. Only now, 5 YEARS later, and under extremely heavy usage in both work and gaming pretty much every day, has it started to wear out and develop an issue with the left click button. Most mice don't last anywhere near that long under the same conditions but this thing was a freaking soldier!
Pros:
Vertical angle - this is the main reason to buy this mouse and I did notice after extended use sessions, significantly less strain on my wrist at the end of the day/night. FYI I also have a wrist wrest on my mouse pad to fully maximize this benefit. The 57 degree angle felt really good to me and didn't inhibit my usage or performance in any way.
Build Quality - Solidly built to handle the needs of the most demanding power users.
Battery - The battery life lasts a super long time and it warns you when its getting low, plus you can still use it while its plugged it and charging. Charging time is fast and I haven't noticed any significant drop in battery lifetime over many charge/discharge cycles.
Sensor - The DPI is high enough for gaming and also variable enough that you can lower it with a single button push to allow a 'normie' to use it when needed. Doesn't require a larger initial movement to begin tracking, making very fine and intermittent adjustments possible.
Scroll Wheel - Each single 'tick' of the scroll wheel is soft enough that if you need to scroll a lot you can make it go several at a time easily for faster scrolling. Also its completely silent when scrolling slowly.
Coating/Materials - The rubber grip is nice and not difficult to clean with a good spray and a microfiber cloth. The glide coating on the bottom held up very well and it still slides across the pad smooth as butter. The buttons have a matte texture to them that feels premium, which held up fairly well to being worn down.
Weight - Well balanced, not too heavy, not too light. It's not adjustable like some high end gaming mice but tbh it doesn't really need adjusting anyway.
Bells and Whistles - The multi device sync also works flawlessly and connects to the other devices very quickly when you switch with the button on the bottom. I never got to playing around with 'Flow'.
Software - Come free of any bloatware extras and doesn't appear to consume any more system resources than it needs to while running in the background.
Cons:
The price maybe? You could easily spend more than this on a mouse and end up with an inferior product. ~$90 every five years isn't terribly unreasonable for something that works this well for >8 hours a day every day. If you don't clean it regularly the coating can get a bit oily after a while, and you pretty much have to use a microfiber cloth as nothing else leaves it clean. Sometimes on a hot day it can leave your hand getting a bit sweaty, not because the mouse produces any heat (it doesn't) but because the grippy coating will absorb warmth from your hand and hold on to it for a bit. Maybe the texture on the main buttons could be a little more wear resistant. Eventually I wore off a small fingerpad sized spot on the left click button and that super smooth bit of plastic ends up feeling kind of oily even though its clean.
Final thoughts:
9.8/10, would buy again. The only thing I really wish this had was the ability to adjust the vertical angle. After some very long use sessions being able to switch to a slightly shallower angle would help to reduce the eventual strain even further. And if we're shooting for the moon here, I'd love it if you could swap out the outer body to a ventilated/open style body like GravaStar's mice to keep your hand from ever getting sweaty.

Works flawlessly for drafting use...
Color: Black, Style: Wireless, Pattern Name: Mouse
This mouse has been a great upgrade for my setup. The wireless connection is fast and reliable, and I honestly can’t tell the difference from a wired mouse. The sensor is very responsive, and everything feels smooth and precise, especially combined with the Logitech G mouse pad.
I actually use this all day at work for drafting, so precision and comfort really matter, and this mouse delivers on both. I’ve even purchased several more for my drafting team, and everyone has been really happy with it.
I also like the customizable weight system—you can adjust it to feel just right in your hand. Overall it feels solid, well made, and comfortable for long hours of use.

This is the last mouse you will ever buy
Color: Black, Style: Wireless, Pattern Name: Mouse
Just buy it.
What can be said about this mouse that hasn't been said before? This is the perfect mouse, there is no contest. I know it is a bit on the pricier side, but if you need a mouse, just get the cheapest one you can get and start saving to get this one, IT'S THAT GOOD.
The mouse glides over any decent mouse pad, you don't need to get a Logitech one. The shape is perfect for all kinds of grips and the weight system is great for customization.
The led has different brightness levels, including turning it off completely to save more battery, and the keys are just silent and satisfying to press.
Again, this is the best mouse ever, no other mouse will offer a better value for your money than this one. A bit steep, yes, but worth it.
