After harvesting the developed roots, get cuttings and re plant the field.
Soil temperature should be kept higher than 25°C / 77°F to ensure good germination.Planting is.done in late spring.planting is done horizontally,partially covered by soil.
Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 20°C / 68°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Cassava is a tender plant.Unpeeled fresh roots will store for 5-7 days at room temperature.2
These estimates for how long Cassava takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
