Cassava Plant Care Cassava plants produce huge ornamental lobed leaves. They can thrive in the summer as an annual in most regions of the United States.

 Good cassava plant care should include the use of a slow release fertilizer in spring. Keep the plants moderately moist. To preserve the plant, move it to a pot indoors before freezing temperatures. Overwinter cassava in a warm, well-lit location and transplant outside when soils heat back up.
