How I Grew Sugar Cane & Made Rock Crystal Candy

[@lucid_dreams420]

Love how passionate you are about growing plants and fruits. Flying out just to get sugar cane is WILD to me. 😂 They're everywhere in Puerto Rico. This makes me value more the land I live on. ❤

[@growithjessie]

awwww. thank you so much. it makes my world to know i inspired you in some way. 💚

[@tristanjacobson]

I hope to start growing all of the things I can/want to grow soon! This is one of them! Thank you for sharing! I too share the dream of having a farm with a giant garden!

[@growithjessie]

thank you so much for stopping by and watching! you gotta start planting the plants!💚 update me if you do!

[@stardustfactory8311]

I love how much you loved your plant journey ☺️

[@growithjessie]

Im almost 52 and i live in Indianapolis Indiana and when i was 5 my dad went to the city market ( around Christmas) he came back with sugar cane, starfruit, and a coconut and a pomigranit. In 1977 this was a big deal. Lol he knew of all thease things because he was in the Navy and went over seas and had this stuff fresh from the sorce. The only reason he went to the city market at that time of year was because he always found and bought big bags of assorted nuts in the shell. At Christmas time they had a really cool wooden container that held the nuts and had a stand for the nut crackers and nut pics. They would put it on the center endtable in our family room by the fire place. So from that year on, and for several years after we always stopped at the city market around Christmas time to get exotic fruits and nuts.🥰

2nd comment: maybe you can try growing syrup sorghum. Sorghum is a grass commonly grown for birdseed and animal feed (also called broomcorn) and there are varieties used for syrup, as well as varieties with kernels that can be popped like popcorn

[@growithjessie]

thanks soo much for your comment. I will try that!!

[@birdnird]

@@growithjessie you might try Baker Creek seeds. Their “Mennonite Sorghum” is an heirloom syrup variety. They no longer carry the popping type. You can also try a seed savers’ exchange. A third option is to plant sorghum from wild bird seed (the big round red seeds that get eaten last), and see what you can squeeze out of a grain variety

[@acgray1972]

The crunch is so different and so satisfying

[@SaultoPaul]

Come get some Louisiana sugarcane, girl !! I wonder if the different canes have different flavor.

[@growithjessie]

ouuuuuuf i gotta!!!

[@rigovaldez2469]

My dad brought a few stalks from Mexico back in like 2015 and those stalks are to this day still producing tons of cane and it’s a spot that’s about 3’x2’ and it produces a massive amount we use it for a Xmas drink called PONCHE

[@growithjessie]

omg. how did he plant them?

[@queenveezey]

JESSIE THEY HAVE SUGAR CANES AT NATIONS IN HAMILTON . I also saw them in Toronto . Many times , I worked DT off Spadina 10 years ago . I’m 37 . Anyways if you search nations hamilton Ontario . It’s probably your fave place . Have you ever tried to grow those sponges ? They look like giant cucumbers growing but it’s a natural sponge

[@growithjessie]

STOP OMG IM RUNNING

[@rigovaldez2469]

Also it usually isn’t planted really deep it’s kinda beat superficially where you can kinda see like the top 1/4 of the stalk and it will sprout way faster we’ll where it grows well it like heat and lots of water in good draining soil

[@growithjessie]

thanks for your comment, this is helpful

[@evan8463]

If you ever get a decent amount of sugarcane, it might be an interesting experiment to try to make gur/panela with the juice

[@growithjessie]

i gotta try this!! gotta look for it again

[@calebhardy7867]

YAYYY I WANT TO GROW THEM

[@growithjessie]

you should!! update me if you do!

[@calebhardy7867]

@@growithjessie OKAY!!!! I WILL

[@satwikdas]

sugar canes grow from the top apart of the sugarecane plant nt the bottom part where you see those roots i grew them like 12 years ago when i wass in class 6 for school project so yeah i also did the same mistake by planting the bottom part and it went all fungus and dies so plant a soot with 1-2 leaves or nodes thats will form roots after wards

[@growithjessie]

this is so cool to know. thank you so much for sharing

[@urfavlatina_mae]

I tried to grow sugar cane once but I failed but it was a fun experience!

[@growithjessie]

it's always fun, but it's definitely all trial and ERROR

[@NocommentaryGaming678]

Jessie try putting them in water sometimes water propagation works best ive tried it it works

[@growithjessie]

omg no way!!!! going to try this just nervous itll mold over

[@JackofWhitechapel]

Try asian markets or super store grocery stores. In Saskatchewan its easy to find at the right time of year.

[@growithjessie]

i actually found it in an asian market!!

[@nazihafouda8342]

I love gardening too

[@growithjessie]

i do too

[@MrScorpyboyz]

I noticed that the buds needed for it to grow leaf is already been removed, dont think it will grow without it

[@growithjessie]

i thought those little triangular shapes popping out of the sides of the sugar canes were nodes. am i wrong?!

[@AkazasSecondWife]

I LOVE sugar cane but sadly it's most commonly in winter when it's in Saudi Arabia (where i live) but it grows A LOT in Thailand like 107 000

[@kolerebooted5658]

Omg I actually had a dream where i tried sugar cane and i woke up right after and i was like "I need to try it tho" So I look it up and i have no clue where to get it and i give up. Later that day you posted this 🤯 that's a shocking coincidence

[@growithjessie]

OMGGGGGG that is hilarious haha

[@1ntwndrboy198]

I found out that the pothos plant puts out a root growth hormone in the water when hydroponicly grown. Then you can use that for starter plants 👍

[@ollyeccles]

I found starting it in water in a warm place worked for me - I’m in the Uk. It died as soon as I put it in compost. Think it wasn’t free draining enough.

[@growithjessie]

do you need a lot of sun for that?

[@ollyeccles]

@@growithjessie It had minimal sun as in winter, just under a grow light for a few hours a day

[@diffenbacia-gardening]

I wonder I you could bake with it?

[@growithjessie]

it would probably be amazing for baking!!

[@davidzhang8764]

sugar cane is so amazing on a hot summer day, peel the skin off with your teeth for maximum authenticity

[@growithjessie]

AGREED

[@babarsuhail5678]

We eat sugar cane cubes here in Pakistan. Its called gandayri. They sell it on carts on the side of the road. My dad used to bring it home when we were kids but I i havent had one in a long time.

[@growithjessie]

i love that so much!!!!!!

[@KittieriRavynVlogs]

I first had sugar cane on a field trip in elementary school. We went to a farmers market and the guy had a fruit and veggies stand at the front of the market. He cut us all a piece off for us to chew on while we walked. It was a good memory

[@Holasoydora345]

Wow

[@growithjessie]

thank you so much for stopping by my channel 💚🌱

[@guidoylosfreaks]

I never realized I gave for granted sugar cane availability living in Mexico all of my life.

[@growithjessie]

awwww. it’s never too late! go grow it and update me if you do!💚

[@azariahroberts5956]

I love sugar cane never used a knife to peel it tho usually use my teeth

[@michael.demello12]

When I was a kid we had a Hispanic family across the street that we would hang out and play with. There mom introduced us to sugarcane wich we tried and also horchata 2 things I love to this day

[@birdnird]

As an undergrad I heard about a university researcher stuck on an island without potable water, who kept himself hydrated by eating sugarcane until the next plane/boat out

[@growithjessie]

I would definitely believe that in a heartbeat!

[@rigovaldez2469]

If you had a whole stalk you can literally plant the whole stalk horizontally and that whole stalk will forever grow sugar cane you just keep curing stalks and they keep growing tear after year

[@Alieombaba]

Lol you didn’t get a juice try too 😅 do you not have Asian markets over there? They have so much tropical fruits at Asian markets including sugar cane. And sometimes you can get them to order it in.

[@davieskihunyu6116]

yeah well in india we just chew through the whole sugarcane cane......its hella fun to do that

[@Gimpstrength]

I live in south Louisiana, I’m surrounded by sugar cane as far as the eye can see lol

[@LaineyBug2020]

Lol, now do beet sugar!

[@growithjessie]

ouuuuuufffff what is that?!

[@rigovaldez2469]

You planted them wrong …. You’re suppose to plant them horizontally in the ground that’s how you’ll get multiple stalks from each piece the way you did it takes longer for them to grow and may not grow as good

[@growithjessie]

THANK YOU FOR TELLING ME THIS. I NEED TO TRY AGAIN

[@spazn3905]

Lol as a California (los Angeles) native…. U could find sugar cane in Mexican or Asian stores everywhere. So funny u went to a juice store to buy one 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@PipmasterD]

Your videos are so informative, there is a debate that cane sugar taste better than corn syrup. I do not see why it is a debate cane sugar taste way better. For example Coca Cola in America is made with corn syrup and does not taste as good as Coke from Mexico which is made with Sugar cane. That is if you drink coke.

To save everyone the time, no. The sugarcane did not grow.

[@rigovaldez2469]

Because she planted it wrong it doesn’t get planted like that it’s meant to be planted horizontally with the ground not like a normal plant it doesn’t get planted the way it grows but I get it she never seen this or know anything about it the way she planted it the buds probably just rotted and it has to be planted actually kind of superficially you should be able to see the stalk a bit
