Cassava is a woody shrub can be grown from stem cutting to produce edible starchy tuberous root crop that can be cooked and eaten similar to potatoes. Extract the starch to make tapioca.



Cassava is normally fairly low maintenance and quite easy to grow, as long as a level of basic care is provided throughout the year. Being aware of the basic soil, sun and water preferences will result in a happier and healthier plant. Cassava grows best in full sun and on light sandy loam or on loamy sands which are moist and fertile. 



Place cuttings in non-chlorine water (couple inches enough to submerse bottom part of stem) until ready to plant . 



Plant the stem cuttings few inches into the prepared moist soil vertically; the top of cutting with bud nodes must be placed upright.


Keep soil moist. New growths will appear in one to two weeks.


Depending on the temperature and care, the root will be ready to harvest in 10-18 months.


Please familiarize yourselves with planting of tropical plants to ensure plants grow properly.
