I bought a manioc root (tuber?) to plant, it is coated in wax. Is that a problem for planting? Scraping it off could cause serious damage I'd guess?

How deep should it be planted?

Thanks!!

Follow-Up Postings:

Manioc (cassava) cannot be propagated by tubers. It is propagated by cuttings.

Here is a link but there are many other pages...

Here is a link that might be useful: Cassava propagation

Thank you!
I don't think I can get stem cuttings in Canada, darn it anyways.
