floridabeachhunter Thanks so much I've been watching your channel for a while now and have learned quite a bit again thanks very much !!!!!

My sugar cane cutting hasn’t sprouted

sean ralston For the striped Hawaiian varieties- kensnursery.com/?post_type=product&s=Sugarcane+ & Home green- greenplanetfarm.com/products/sugar-cane-cuttings-4-pack. I hope this helps. I would provide if I had them but I don't yet. I just have Florida Red, Asian Black, & PointOfJava. Let me know if you could help me out with the varieties you have please!

Yes. I’d like to know that also. I just bought a 9 foot stalk today. Please and thanks.

That's a good suggestion. I have some canes I'm doing that with right now.

you know what I've been doing a lot of research and ppl think that its best to start them out in water, then you can transfer them to the ground...it's better to do it your way ant the plant grows faster and they root quicker too. I was wrong sorry.

P.LOKOE UNO It's always good to experiment. Thanks for watching and commenting.

it is. thnk u..

Spacing of new plants?

It has to do with how young that section is. If you look at a whole cane, the higher towards the top, the thinner the cane and the closer the nodes. The bottom is very thick and has long gaps between nodes. The upper bits are younger and usually not as sweet, thus they make for better propagating.

Ruth, I got the purple cane from a neighbor. the green/yellow varieties came from a farmer's market down on Pine Island, near the Cape Coral area of the gulf coast of Florida. I find that farmer's markets are a good source of cane starts. Local organic gardening clubs or permaculture groups could also be a good source, but they can be hard to contact unless you just show up at one of their events and ask questions.

where you love fool man

I order it from Amazon, some of it was already starting to root because they wrap it in plastic. Ate some an put the rest in a water bucket to start the roots growing.

Chinese market

Hi Sean. I have the purple/red variety that I got from a neighbor. It is very soft for chewing. I also have a green variety that I suspect originated in Hawaii or Mexico and I'm not sure what type it is. I have a couple of other varieties, purple and yellow, that I'm not too happy with. I've never heard of "giant home green." I'll have to look that up. There are some e-bay sellers for cane starts. Might want to check them out if you've not yet done so.

No

Thanks for watching!

That works. I've seen people lay the canes down flat in a tray with water so all the joints sprout roots.

Depends. If you are in the moist tropics with good soil, yes. If you are in Florida like I am with dry sandy soil, you'll have much better success by rooting it first to give it a head start.

Both will work

Go to the swap shop on sunrise Blvd. They sell sugarcane and coconuts

In zone 9 or 10 you might be successful. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_the_United_Kingdom#/media/File:UK_zonemap.png Anywhere else you'd need some way to protect the cane from the cold.

I'm in Hampshire, UK (the south of England too) and have recently germinated some seeds of sugar cane. Plants racing away, about 10" tall now after only a fortnight or so. I don't suppose it's a frost hardy plant, but will bring them in before the cold weather starts and put them in a south facing window. They've got a few months before then, so will see how they do.

Dr. Stubbs, generally no. But you might have some luck in a sheltered location if you start it indoors early. I'm not sure if it would get big enough to yield a sweet cane.

There are apparently some varieties developed with higher cold tolerance: news.illinois.edu/blog/view/6367/234221

TheBoogster yes definitely.

I think as long as the cane will still grow roots it can generate a new bud. When I plant a cane, it usually has one or two buds, but once it forms plenty of roots, it often sends up five or six more buds that were not visible on the cane. Give it a try!

There needs to be an active bud..

You can dig a hole in the ground, around 6 feet in diameter and about 1 to 1.5 foot deep (concave in shape), and plant banana trees around the circumference of the hole, two or three feet apart from each other, while at the same time, compost any and all organic waste you might have leftover casting it inside the hole, also water the hole once a week until water begins to pool a bit, for the banana tree roots to have a drink too. All that compost material will in time, be great fertilizer for the banana plants. Bananas like potassium, so put in the hole all the banana peels, and banana tree chunks left over after the main banana plant gives its bananas and then dies.

More compost and mulch..the better
