Description: You will receive a minimum of 5 fresh cuttings of about 6” in length all with rooting hormone for fast rooting Growing cassava yuca successfully relies upon at least eight months of warm weather. The plant prefers well-drained soil and modest rainfall, but it can survive where soils are wet. Cassava roots do not tolerate freezing temperatures and the best growth is in full sun. Growing cassava yuca from start to harvest can take up to 18 months. The plants are started from propagules made from parts of mature stems. These are 2 to 3 inch cuttings with several bud nodes along the length. Lay the cutting on prepared soil in a pot either vertically or place it underground horizontally and keep lightly misted in a sunny location. The plant will grow well in pots inside the house as ornamentals, Enjoy Cassava plants produce huge ornamental lobed leaves. They can thrive in the summer as an annual in most regions of the United States. Warmer temperatures promote the most rapid growth. There are several chewing pests that cause foliage damage but, otherwise, cassavas are relatively disease and pest free. To plant cassava, push into the soil the end of the piece of stem that was nearer to the ground. Plant the cuttings in mounds or ridges. Plant when the soil is quite wet, after a big rain. Plant the cuttings either straight or slanted. Push them well into the earth, leaving only 2 or 3 buds above ground. Press the earth well down round the cuttings. Then the roots that develop will be well nourished by the soil. Usually the rows are 3' to 4' m apart, and the plants about 3' apart to allow for the roots to grow.
