- Experimenting with Cassava cuttings to get the most plants possible. You won't believe how well one method works! Stretching resources, utilizing resources to their maximum potential is not just important to third world countries struggling to grow food, it is important for all of us! In my quest to grow as much food as possible with as little money as possible, I am constantly experimenting with my plants. In this video, I play with two ways to use single node propagation. I hope this cassava experiment will help many of you in your efforts to grow food for your families.

great Video my friend, remember cassava is a root, instead of sticking it in the ground and getting roots from the end that is in the ground, lay them horizontal and you will get roots on both ends getting more roots, and more roots is more cassava.
Thanks, I love any advice I can get! I did that this year with my overwintered cuttings. I am looking forward to seeing how well they grew since they have just now started dying back. I'm going to harvest in December. I also have a couple of these little guys that lived through the winter and had the cutest little 1-inch swollen roots in the spring that we replanted after accidentally digging them up when planting the cuttings (We lost the little guys in the weeds when they died back for winter, but they had come back from the roots) I'm looking forward to seeing if the roots are the same size as the roots from the cuttings.
Greetings from Ghana in West Africa. With burying the cut cassava in the soil, what should be the measurement of the cutting please?
Hello from Trinidad.
Like you said that is amazing. And this plant is amazing too. I must admit I started off laughing at you for wasting precious time. But you were right. This plant was already in my top five best to grow in every home. It just got even higher ratings. Thanks a lot. Keep experimenting. And sharing the knowledge.
Thank you! And Hello! Sorry for the delay in replying (I demolished my phone). It was a cool experiment, and I'm looking forward to trying more of them.
Thank you!! This video sent me down a rabbit hole on roots to get for my food forest. 💜 happy growing 💜
@@JCC_1975 Happy growing to you, too! I love root crops that are easy to grow.
We love you! From Nigeria
Thank you! It's so wonderful that you found my video ❤️
This cutting of just the leaves will work because you are also cutting the “node” which is what grows into a new plant. The idea of leaving a bit more of the branch/ trunk is to give the cutting/ new plant more energy to draw from.
Totally agree 👍
Thank you i did not know that green cuttings can be rooted as well,was using mature stems only, thanks once again,watching from Zimbabwe.
You are very welcome. I'm so happy you got good information from this video!
You are delight. Thank you for aharing your successes and trial and errors. Blessings Galore from Central CA❤
You are so sweet! You have brightened my day, and I thank you. 😊
This is really good to see. Am impressed. I am about to embark on a 10 acre cassava farm to feed my pigs and this gives me hope !
That is wonderful! I wish you much success with your cassava farm.
This is just wonderful ! Thank you for these experiments love.
May the force be with you .
This is the way. 😀
thank you you are awesome ill bee doing myself thank you rock star
@@marycrosiar5571 You are just the sweetest! You made my day 💛
I just got 50 cuttings they are about 14 inches long, and I'm THRILLED to discover there are so many ways to propagate them! This "short cut" method is used in Ghana too.
I knew the study I read was trying to find ways for underprivileged areas to be able to increase planting ability. You can get so many more plants from one cutting this way. 😀
Wow this is a wonderful way to multiply food.thank you very much.
Thanks! I hope it helps people to grow more cassava plants from a single cutting.
So amazing. Thank you for your effort in doing this.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!
I love it
Thank you 😊
Wow! This is great info! I would have never guessed you could root them that way. Or that green cuttings could be rooted. I've only ever grown cassava from woody cuttings so this is super cool to me. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'm so happy you liked it! It was fun to do the experiments and now we have a lot to plant.
Love your content, one node method!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was a fun experiment!
Really helpful mama
Thank you
Thanks for the video, got value
I'm happy to hear that.
Wow thanks for sharing. Great information. God's blessings always 🙏🏾 New subscriber here.
Thank you!
Thanks. Looks like the roots only grow from the cut area. Maybe try cutting and a sharp angle to expose more cambium, or scrape the side of the stem.
Thanks for that. I will try it.
Those seedlings are all ready to be planted out in the field in my opinion. Another direct benefit of growing cassava is that the tubers open up the soil (with minimal disturbance no cultivation required) to water, oxygen and organic materials. If the farmland is poor - this is an excellent way to improve the soil with minimal input. Plant them close enough together and the cassava will shade out weeds. It is a marvelous plant for regenerative food forest farming.
They got planted not long after I made this video, I just made a long row of them 😀. Nice and sunny spot with only so-so soil.
Liked your experimental. Hace yellow casaba. My problem is my ground is sandy buy i am trying to grow them. Thanks for this vídeo.
Can you mix in some compost? Cassava doesn't mind a sandy mix (great for drainage), but it does need some compost or a more fertile soil mixed in with the sand. Good luck 🙂.
I am happy to see this for how long can it be ready
Try rooting them over winter and planting in the Spring.
Some one told me the upper greener and younger area can not grow but your video shows the opposite . Will give it a try. Wonder if it will work with soil without manure.
It should grow in most well-drained soils. My soil is mainly sand and clay, and the few upper portions of the cassava that I stuck in the ground this year in that sad soil rooted.
wow
If I grow cassava in with my okra the deer only eat some of my okra. I do this with Chaya too. The cyanide plants make it hard for the deer to find all the okra.
Awesome! We just got a new place, and I can plant cassava around the garden plot. Thank you for this info!
My name is Constant watching you from Ghana in West Africa. Your experiment is amazing indeed but I have a question. Couldn't you have planted the small stem sections directly in the field or it's not advisable?
Yes, I believe stem sections are the preferred method. I just wanted to see if this would work.
@@HappyLifeFoodForest oh I see but can the small stem cutting be planted directly in the field?
I haven't tried that, but please let me know your results if you try it. I'm not a botanist, so I don't know which methods yield more than other methods, I just know those stem cuttings rooted well for me. And hello from Florida!
@@HappyLifeFoodForest thank you
No doubt it's a great way to propagate cassava. Have you seen any difference in the time from planting to harvest when compared to planting sticks? Thanks a lot!
I didn't get to compare since this was done from one's already growing. I hope someone with larger crops can try it out.
Very intresting i like this so for how long will it be ready
I did the experiment late last year, so I let the little guys over winter. They had tiny little cassava roots when I dug them up in the Spring, and I will harvest them this Fall.
Can you please give a link to the scientific paper you read
I just spent an hour trying to figure out what it was called and haven't found it again (I read a ton of papers on Cassava a year ago and didn"t realize at the time I read that particular one that I was going to try this experiment) but I will keep looking and list the link when, or if, I find it again.
Van we grow cassava from the cassava if we don't have the cuttings, the leaves or the seeds?
I've never tried that. Let me know if it works!
what are the media components
The main thing is that the soil is well drained so the roots don't rot from holding too much moisture.
I just tried it
That's so cool! It was a great feeling to see that most of them rooted!
soil mixture component
@Dr.Ahmed.Algharib I think it was potting soil with a little compost (and a little extra perlite for good drainage so the roots wouldn't rot from being too moist). That was my usual soil mixture back then. The main thing is to provide good drainage.
@@HappyLifeFoodForest thank you so much
You are very welcome
@@HappyLifeFoodForest i try but unfortunately it's not working
@Dr.Ahmed.Algharib how often do you water them? And are they in a shady spot?
How many times did you water while trying the 2nd method?
Both methods were done at the same time and both were watered twice a week. In a shady area.
I don't recall that information. It went through the typical trauma associated with cuttings and I was more concerned with the small sections rooting than if the actual leaf survived. Leaves can die back while the nodes are rooting.
@@HappyLifeFoodForest @Happy Life Food Forest Thank you so much for answering. I can't help but notice that the leaf went from being down on the day you planted to being straight as an arrow after 2,5 weeks.
Did it experience some mild dehydration prior to standing back up? I dare to ask as I have tried to replicate the experiment and my leaves have dried considerably in 3 days 😅😅, while underground I can see the first timid sign of sprouting.
@@HappyLifeFoodForest Thanks again., you are a gem😘
It's great that you are seeing roots! Don't worry about the original leaf wilting. The ones that survive will get new leaves.
Hii. I am a Ghanaian with name Emmanuel. I'm into farming and i want partnership to help me sell my outputs to the rest of the world
Thank you for the offer, but I do not sell plants or products.
