Thank you all for watching! Propagating sugarcane doesn't have to be a lot of work. Yes, you can plant sugarcane in trenches like farmers do, but you can also plant them on a small scale in pots to later plant in your yard. Grow sugarcane from single node cuttings and you'll get LOTS of sugarcane plants!

Grow sugar! Woo! If you get a rarer variety I would always start it right into a pot of dirt. Water can be too risky with rotting. But once you get your own stalks & plenty to regrow you can be less careful.

Excellent video! A plethora of knowledge on rooting / starting out sugarcane! This is exactly what new comers need!

@vidard9863 7 месяцев назад

I think that the reason farmers prefer 3 or more nodes is simply to give the plant more energy at the start of the season, and to guarantee a fairly consistent field with questionable handling.

@OrganicMommaGA 7 месяцев назад

Love the idea of this! Even not knowing what variety it is (by buying it from the international market or something) would be a fun project that could be expanded every year, Sugar cane looks very much like bamboo and I wonder if sugar canes can be used similarly to bamboo (for trellis or small building projects) if they are not as sweet as they should be for some reason? hmmm...

@davidthegood 7 месяцев назад

They are weak at the nodes, so they wouldn't hold up. Termites like to eat the insides, too.

They always sell sugar cane at the fair. And there’s usually a donkey going around in a circle grinding it into syrup you can buy. I always thought, if I grew it, I’d just lay the whole cane in a trench. I like your single method better.

I'm visiting my daughter in South Africa. She lives in an area where sugar cane is farmed on huge scale. The climate is semi tropical. We have had days of solid rain 24c and tomorrow the sun will pop out and it will be a terrible humid 33c. The sugar cane grows about 5' tall and when they harvest it, it is piled into huge heaps and put on fire. There is a mill that works 24/7 and it has been there for 70 years that I know of. Good luck with your planting.

@davidthegood 7 месяцев назад

I remember them burning the fields in Florida.

@gardengatesopen 7 месяцев назад

Why do they burn the fields? Somehow I've missed this part of the sugar cane education you've taught me David! They burn after harvesting I'm assuming... And guessing it's not a perennial? Except I thought it IS a perennial... Are they just burning the excess weeds and stuff to clear the ground? Why are they burning the fields???

@The_ABG 3 месяца назад

They burn before harvest to get rid of the dry waste and snakes 😅. Makes it cheaper to harvest and process. Afaik

@Mrbfgray 7 месяцев назад

Just started growing sugarcane couple yrs ago, last yr around now cut down my only, say 18" diameter clump, before 1st frost. Buried sections (horizontal 4/5" deep, 2 or 3 buds each) of cane around perimeter of property, maybe 1/3 to half came up late spring greatly expanding my 'green walls', or beginnings of them. Original clump is back to about the same as it was prior to harvesting. Love that it's fairly drought tolerant and 'thrives on neglect'. (9a, farther N. Commifornia)

@Mrbfgray 7 месяцев назад

Note: I tried two types, the other "giant sugarcane" never did much and didn't survive 1st winter, point being--either research types for your conditions or try multiple varieties.

@davidfarm8095 6 месяцев назад

my grandfather use to grow lots of cane and turn into molasses. My job was collecting the cane from the field. then feeding into the cane mill and watch juicer run into cook pan it wind through till come out cooked. taste so good at breakfast. thank for bringing the memory back for me. I wish I had pay more attention to his gardening experience. thank again David.

Years ago, in the late 1950's (before Castro), my dad was stationed at then NAS Guantonimo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo), and we'd get raw sugar cane cuttings to chew on... When I was stationed at Pearl Harbor,HI, in 1980 I lived off base. The Hawaiians that grew sugar cane would burn their fields at harvest time. If the fires were near power lines, it would cause ionizing heat around the power lines and cause power outages. Such fun! My memories of sugar cane! One other note you referenced Jag of Daisy Creek Farms just a few hours north of me. I follow his YT channel, too. 😉 😊😮

Fungicide is very important for planting, you have a better success rate and not too much saturation before sprouting.

@zmblion 7 месяцев назад

I don't know about sugar cane I don't live in the right climate to even try unless I want to try and have it as a houseplant. But with all the house plants I've propagated over the years I find it way better to have at least 3 nodes. I mean most things I am trying are small and don't have as much energy but I just feel it is safer to have more than one node. I've lost a lot of plants trying to break them down so far. But as long as it doesn't rot I suppose sugarcane has tons of energy to push through. I wonder if some wood ash wouldn't help it not rot as a precaution?

@davidthegood 7 месяцев назад

I agree - usually we use multiple nodes for safety. I was happy to see how well they did with single nodes. Ashes aren't a bad idea.
