How to Grow Sugarcane Successfully
Growing sugarcane is not that difficult to accomplish, that’s if you know the secret!
Buy a piece of sugarcane from your grocery shop. The secret is buying that is greenish brown in colour (this also depends on variety!). Make sure that the piece of cane has at least two nodes
Apply grafting wax to the top end of the cane to prevent disease and rot.
Plant the cane stick in a pot that is prepared with potting compost and has been watered down lightly.
Place in a warm area as that’s sugarcane preferred conditions, and water from time to time so that the plant does not dry out.
Wait patiently for about two or three weeks. Here is my sugarcane plant after a month with a ratoon (stalk) in my kitchen in London. For those who don’t know, the outside temperate in the last month must be averaging about 5 degrees Celsius (41 degrees Fahrenheit). My Photos:
If you followed the above and found success please send me your photos with you name and location and I could publish them on this site. Good Luck!
