Sugarcane Cutting RESULTS! Which Method Worked Best?

Just a few weeks ago we did a video on how to start new sugarcane plants from cuttings. In that video we did our own little experiment to see which method of starting sugarcane cuttings worked the best. Here's the video showing you the results we had

They doing well in the potting soil, You are right, in water there are not so many nutrients as in the soil. I tried with Lucky Bamboo in the soil and are much more beautiful than in the water. Good look with Sugarcane.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Grower George yeah man I had a feeling the direct planted ones would do better, but can't be 100% sure until you test it though, right? Thanks for watching!

How big a pot to grow sugarcane in a pot?

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Bigger the better if going to grow permanently. I’ve had them growing in 15-20 gallon containers and do ok

[@rauljimenez8132]

Thanks.@@TheMoreYouGrow

Great video, thanks. I am starting sugar cane foe the first time this year. This will just be a few areas in a large back yard. Live in Coastal Mississippi, 9A, it is mid Jan, last frost is mid to lat February. Was looking for exactly this information. My question is, how long does it take from starting in pots to when they can be planted. My inclination is to start now, to be ready for planting in late Feb to mid March.

Thanks for valuable info. What r the health benefits of sugarcane Juice?

[@cyclops9125]

Should I use thick or thin stock for growing cane?

[@nirmalamontgomery2899]

How much to water daily new sugarcane in pots

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Just basically when the soil drys a bit as to not rot the roots

[@rlee6503]

What are you using as a potting soil? great video, sub'd and liked.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

It was just a general purpose potting mix. Think the brand is Sungrow horticultural mix. Nothing fancy, just about any of it will work. Thanks for watching and subscribing!

[@barbaraamason]

Does anyone know how much each joint with a bud would sell for!!

[@122419421]

hello my friend I got roots but not sprout from the bud spot what might have reason and what should I do, thanks.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

The buds might not be alive on the stalks you have. If they are alive you can plant the sections with roots and the buds will sprout in time

[@rontankersley6259]

I'm near Canton, Tx..and I need 2 canes too plant any help where I can get some .?

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

I bough my first sugarcane plant online from Aloha Tropicals. The green sugarcane I found in Bryan HEB that catered to to predominantly Hispanic population and carried sugarcane right about now

[@DaybirdAviaries]

That's just so cool. I'm going to try this...somehow....if I can find some sugar cane.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Check HEB or a specialty grocery store sometime. Actually about to do a GSG episode about some sugarcane I bought from the store. I talk about this in that video, but just make sure the buds are alive on it when you buy it

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks👍🏽

[@ialnevets]

Great video. My sugar cane has not much flesh between each node. I don't know how to call it but the internode section is short, between the nodes section ... which can translate to not much juice. Is it deficient in water or something I am not doing it right? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

[@Seabiscuit7]

Thank you so much for this video. I recently bought sugar cane from the produce section of my grocery store to eat. I was given the idea to grow it and found your video. My question is will this work with sugar cane purchased from producr? This sugar cane looks dry on the ends and the outter cane is very difficult to cut. I don't know if that effects growing from it or not. If you don't think it would work, can you recommend where can I purchase sugar can for planting? Thank you for your time.

[@Polarcupcheck]

I wonder how hydroponics would work. Sugar water might also be another consideration. Some women was rooting things in with potassium permanganate in water with good results.

[@dianaseeto9687]

Thanks for the great video. Like to know what soil mix to use for the pot and how to know which way the nodes should be facing when planting upright in a pot?

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

I just used a general purpose potting mix. As far as the nodes go, I point them sideways so that they all can grow upwards. The nodes alternate in direction along the stem, but growing them sideways will allow them to all emerge upwards

[@jamestinsley5195]

Thanks so much. My son just started the Agricultural school at Virginia Tech. To grow sugar cane you must have a market and buyers. Breweries, wineries and whiskey distilleries have sprung up every where. We even have a meadery here. Why not rum distilleries? Grow heirloom, organic sugar cane. It grows quickly and is renewable. It's a grass like you said. Don't you think this is possible? I'm in 7b and looking for cold hardy varieties. We are surrounded by water and marsh.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

There’s a rum distillery in Wimberly Tx that is cool. One of the only ones out there. Should check them out. After doing this my conclusion and recommendation of have for you is try out cane sorghum instead. The sugarcane grew ok but would never mature before winter and did not come back super reliably for me after the winter. Cane sorghum on the other hand grows great as an annual and can be grown in our 7b-8a way better and can be pressed for juice just like sugarcane

[@lucianaford2447]

Thank you for sharing your video

[@TamraDL]

This is the most helpful video I've seen on planting sugar cane from cuttings. Thanks for demonstrating/explaining about the roots, I've been confused as to which way to plant and now I've decided on laying it down sideways ;)

[@harryseibert457]

Where did you get the PACE cap?

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

I was an intern for a project called PACE while I was in jr college. It stands for promoting agriculture and conservation education. We had a 100 acre farm that we demonstrated holistic management techniques and did research on how they affected the ecology and sustainability of the farm as a whole. One of the best experiences of my life 😁

[@dorothiadaniels5433]

Good morning. I tried to grow some in shallow water. But they started to rot. My question is. Should you change the water frequently. 🤔

[@Seabiscuit7]

He suggests that potting them before planting works better than the water method.

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Yes

[@dorothiadaniels5433]

@@TheMoreYouGrow thank you

[@googiesfairyfarm4834]

I love this video. A neighbor gave me a couple of stalks of a sugar cane he says is heirloom. The leaves are actually variegated. I’ve never seen anything like it. Couldn’t get it in the ground when he gave it to me and it sat around a LONG time. As it still appears to be green and I see dots where the roots would be, also a couple of tiny buds, I stuck it in water the way you did. I know it’s late in the season but I’m going to try anyway. Thanks for the video!

[@TheMoreYouGrow]

Can’t hurt to give it a shot right?! I bet they will grow fine if you get them in some water and keep them warm
