Glad to hear your sweet potato slips are doing so well! You want your slips to be about 6 to 12 inches tall when you begin the rooting process. If yours are much longer than that, you can certainly trim them back (do so below a node). But, if your slips are long enough, you can also divide them into multiple sections to root. If they are leggy and thin, it might be best to cut back to where the slips are thicker and more firm and just root those ones.
