Dear friends today I am going to show you how we can propagate tapioca plants from its stem cuttings by closing its ends with plastic papers and rubber bands.
The tapioca plant or cassava with scientific name (Manihot esculenta) is a woody shrub or small tree native to South America.
Tapioca is easy to grow and is used as a food crop in many parts of the world. The shrubs grow between 10 and 20 feet tall and can be attractive, prompting many gardeners to grow them as ornamental plant. The tapioca plant is evergreen shrub. Gardeners who grow the plant as a crop rather than an ornamental often treat the plant as annual, since young plants produce roots that are smaller and more tender for eating and cooking.

Most of the tapioca stems would be ruined by water intake through stems during rainy season.
I have found this technique 100 percent useful to avoid such decaying or rotting of the tapioca stems.
We need rubber bands and waste plastic bags cut into smaller pieces.
See I have selected stem cutting of tapioca plants with 10 inches in length and kept in moist area to sprout in 5 days.
The sprouted tapioca is then collected and sprinkled with water.
The plastic paper is wrapped at the top tip of each tapioca stem and the rubber band is used to tighten the wrap.
We can Make sure no water is leaked during rainy days.
I wrapped around 12 stem cuttings of tapioca plant and is ready to transfer to the garden
I made 12 pits inside my garden make sure it is in a corner of your garden or keep it in the border of our garden which gives you more beauty to the garden.
See I completed planting every stems covered with plastic paper and wounded with rubber bands.
After 2 months the growth will be like this, and we can make soil ridges near the plant to allow easy rootings.
This is my 6 month old plants where there are big roots ready for cultivation.

Commercially prepared tapioca has many uses. Tapioca powder is commonly used as a thickener for soups and other liquid foods. It is also used as a binder in pharmaceutical tablets and natural paints. The flour is used to make tender breads, cakes, biscuits, cookies, and other delicacies

Improperly Processed Cassava Products May Cause Poisoning
Cassava root naturally contains a toxic compound called linamarin. This is converted into hydrogen cyanide in your body and may cause cyanide poisoning.
Ingesting poorly processed cassava root is linked to cyanide poisoning, a paralytic disease called konzo and even death
