Cassava ‘Variegated’ (also known as Variegated Tapioca, Manihot esculenta) is a bold and tropical foliage plant, admired for its deeply lobed, hand-shaped leaves splashed with creamy white, soft yellow, and green variegation. The star-like foliage creates a striking, architectural look, while the bright variegation adds a vibrant, high-contrast effect. Its open, airy structure gives it a light, modern tropical presence. This variety thrives in bright light to full sun, which enhances its variegation and encourages vigorous growth. It prefers a well-draining soil mix and moderate watering—allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fast-growing in warm conditions, Variegated Cassava can quickly become a statement plant, especially in outdoor or high-light indoor spaces. Light: Bright light to full sun (enhances variegation and growth) Water: Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings; avoid overwatering Growth Habit: Upright, fast-growing plant with deeply lobed variegated foliage Pet Note: Toxic if ingested raw by pets or children With its bold leaf shape and bright variegation, Cassava ‘Variegated’ is a collector’s standout—perfect for adding height, movement, and tropical energy to any plant collection.
