How to grow tapioca plant at home.
1. Cut a stem from a tapioca plant to a length of 8 to 14 inches and remove bottom leaves from the cutting.
2. Plant the cutting in a container full of potting soil. Make sure that at least one leaf node is under the soil and that the stem is planted 6 inches deep. Place the cuttings in indirect sunlight and keep the soil moist.
3. Transfer the tapioca cutting into the garden or into their own small pots when they have rooted, waiting until spring if planting them directly in the garden. Tapioca seedlings that will be grown in containers can be transplanted any time after rooting. When planting outside, plant the young tapioca seedlings where they will receive full sun or part shade. Tapioca will grow in almost any soil conditions; however, till soil before planting and add loam to heavy soils if you plan to harvest the tapioca roots. Working the soil will make it easier to dig the roots at harvest time.
4. Feed the young tapioca plants with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer shortly after planting. Perennial and evergreen tapioca plants should be fertilized each spring.
5. Water the tapioca as needed to keep the soil moist, if desired. Tapioca is drought tolerant and rarely requires irrigation when grown as a decorative plant but produces a better crop when it is not allowed to dry out.
