You're doing a great job! Rooting them in a bucket or wet newspaper before planting will greatly speed up their growth. The ones you planted in the big pot is definitely overcrowded. Sugar cane puts out a massive root system and needs a lot of room and water if you want big fat stalks. You probably planted enough cane in that 1 big pot for 4 big pots! A 4-6" piece of cane would need a 5 gallon container minimum, and it will outgrow that after the 1st year.
Thank you for the feed back. That's great information. Have you grow sugarcane before? Did you grow them in a container or in the ground? Ho long does it take from planting to harvest? Thank you
@@GardenloveHomestead Yes, I grew sugarcane for years in the ground, and then transplanted them into containers when I redid my garden space. I've rooted them many times to give away to friends. I eventually got rid of them to make room for other plants. The final plant was a 1ft section I moved from the ground and put into a 25 gal fabric pot. It was very difficult trying to keep it watered enough. I did a very heavy pruning of the roots during the transplant and it still managed to fill half the pot in 1 year. From planting to harvest, it takes over a year. Depending on variety and local weather. Sugarcane likes hot and humid weather. They will finish between 12-18 months. They'll let you know because the constant green growth at the top will stop and the leaves will start to dry up and go brown. The stalks should be over 5 ft tall by then. They need lots of water, and often! Water them at least twice as much as you would any other plant. 3x isn't out of the norm either. They decline quickly if exposed to drought conditions. One other reason I got rid of them is because they attract termites (who love to build nests up inside the stalks). Make sure you sprinkle some insecticide granules around the perimeter of your sugar cane beds. Don't plant too close to fruit trees or your house. They also attract aphids like no other! Those sweet green blades of grass at the top of the canes can get completely covered in aphids and mealybugs if you don't spray often.
Yay, Im glad ypu saw it here first. Its my first time growing them I'm super excited about it. Their growing so well. I'll keep you posted with more updates. Thank you for watching 🙂🤗
Me too lol. I guess we will see if they grow and how well they grow. When I first get the sugarcane on my last video when ai mentioned I picked the free sugarcane. I had a few comments that said they have successfully grown Sugarcane's in containers 🤗🙂 we will see. Thanks for watching 🙂
I've never had them as juice. That sounds yummy. Ive always used it during the holiday to make a drink called ponche. A fruit tea. Its soooo sweet and delicious. Maybe ill show the recipe this Christmas season. Thank you for watching 🙂🤗
Omg this is great.. I tried growing sugarcane last year but they didn't make it... And just today I planted my new black surinam cherry tree... Do u have those growing in ur property?
Oh nooo, I wonder why they didn't make it. I hope mine work out. I do have acherry tree and I pretty sure I have a video on it. Its growing in a container. Its a Stella Cherry. I hope you find it 🙂🤗
Great video. I am also growing sugarcane in containers in the UK.
That's awesome! I moved place, I need to find some sugar canes to grow in our new place. How tastybwete they?
Nice to see you growing these ms d
Thank you, have you grown them before?
@@GardenloveHomestead yes and we started back this year as well
Sugarcane is amazing! 🤤🙂

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Kindest Regards, Lady Cheryl ❤️❤️❤️
Yay thank you for watching 🙂🤗

I have never seen anyone growning super cane at home before.Its fascinating to watch how it's done
Yay, Im glad ypu saw it here first. Its my first time growing them I'm super excited about it. Their growing so well. I'll keep you posted with more updates. Thank you for watching 🙂🤗
Hello Diana! This is my first time seeing sugarcane in pots. I usually see them in fields. Keep us posted on ho they turn out🌞
Me too lol. I guess we will see if they grow and how well they grow. When I first get the sugarcane on my last video when ai mentioned I picked the free sugarcane. I had a few comments that said they have successfully grown Sugarcane's in containers 🤗🙂 we will see. Thanks for watching 🙂
sugarcane runs and makes more,just like bamboo ,so be careful where you plant it in ground
Not true sugar cane is not invasive bamboo is stop with the wrong info please
how does the soil did not went down along with water? what did you do
I love sugarcane, one of my most favourite juice.
I've never had them as juice. That sounds yummy. Ive always used it during the holiday to make a drink called ponche. A fruit tea. Its soooo sweet and delicious. Maybe ill show the recipe this Christmas season. Thank you for watching 🙂🤗

Wow! I want to try this now!!! Please update us
Good morning, I'll definitely be making several update videos. Thank you so much for watching. Have a blesses and safe 4th of July. 🙂🤗
How big is that pot?
Most of my pots are over 25 gallon pot.
Omg this is great.. I tried growing sugarcane last year but they didn't make it... And just today I planted my new black surinam cherry tree... Do u have those growing in ur property?
