How to Sow and Plant

Soak seeds for 12–24 hours before sowing to improve germination.
Sow in well-draining, fertile soil after last frost or when soil warms (spring to early summer). Provide full sun.
Plant seeds about 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) deep.
Space plants about 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) apart to allow tuber development.

How to Grow

Use well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH ~5.5–7.0), ideally sandy-loam or loamy-sand for good root formation.
Keep soil moisture moderate — water regularly especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging as roots may rot.
Provide full sun exposure for best growth; cassava needs warm, frost-free conditions.
Mulch around base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Ensure enough space beneath — roots grow deep and wide. Best in open ground or large containers / raised beds with depth.

Tips

Cassava thrives even on poor soils and tolerates drought — a smart choice for low-effort cultivation.
Avoid waterlogged or poorly-draining soil — excess moisture can cause root rot or poor tuber development.
Harvest when roots reach desired size (8–12 months), before they become overly woody.
In hot climates, plant at start of rainy season for best moisture; mulch well to retain soil moisture.
