How To Grow Sugarcane In Containers! Easy Steps

So this is what basically happens when you get a bit of cane from your dad and you plant a piece of it. This one I'm going to give a taste test. This is the the best looking one. Actually this one's sweet. Let me dig the hole a little deeper and then I just place it like so. Guys I'm a country girl right and I grew up on sugar cane. We had sugar cane for breakfast, lunch and dinner living in the country guys and so I am determined to grow sugar cane successfully. My name is Marie if you're new here. This is our container garden guys and so ever since burial my first sugar cane that I have, well I had a sugar cane planted before it wasn't in the container though it was in we backed around an area filled it in with soil and that sugar cane did exceptionally well until ants destroyed that sugar cane. But since then I planted more. So this is what basically happens when you get a bit of cane from your dad and you plant a piece of it. So I planted a little piece about well it was a small cane like this and I planted about a to a a couple of months ago and look at it now. I'll have cane soon. I'll have my own sugar cane right up against the rock there. They're looking so nice so so so nice. Absolutely lovely root of cane. Look at the size of this one. So fat look at it. Right down here this is my second sugar cane that we planted since starting a garden here on the and it was doing exceptionally well. We got sugar cane from it to eat. It wasn't the sweetest but I based on how it was I knew it was a good sugar cane. But ever since burial blew it and twisted up the root the sugar canes have just not been doing well. I am seeing suckers coming in quite a bit. If you look closely these are new suckers coming and down on the the base of each sugar cane there are suckers coming on there. So what I plan to do is to take out all of the maturing or the more matured plants and cut them up into pieces. Put back some in here a few pieces and then I'm going to root the rest of them while not sure yet you know guys but I'll prepare more containers maybe some tires or so to plant out some of the um some of the new plants that I'm going to root. I'm looking at it while I go and zone out guys because I'm going to try and eat a piece. It's just too tempting. As I said I am a country girl and will love sugar cane. So I'm going to take out mature plant first and then we see where we go from there. All right this one guys definitely can't try but look at that I can get several sugar cane plants from it. This one not going nowhere. Nowhere it not going. A lot of suckers coming up in there. Ever since burial the sugar cane just never the same since. This can't do anything you know that I just this one I'm going to give a taste test. This is the the best looking one. All right I'm going to peel a piece of this and give it a taste test. Guys in the country we don't know nothing named cutlass and and thing there. Knife to peel cane. Sugar cane we just use our teeth guys. So actually this one's sweet. I just know the others fresh. This is how we peel sugar cane in the country because kids not allowed with. Guys I'm not throwing the cane trash in the garden. I'm throwing it back there. It will pull the ants from the garden. Yes intermission guys. Sugar cane intermission. Ever since burial it just awesome. Guys the food fence coming so handy. See that guys can't see next door. I think I'm looking at a tomato. More than one tomato on my tomato plant guys. I hope I don't forget to show you. Awesome. Let me get back to work. Like you guys have all day to watch me eat sugar cane right? I know you don't. I'm going to I think I might try more of these canes but I'm going to take off the I'm going to plant a few pieces to show you how I'm going to do it. Now guys let me eat this Alright let me show you. When you get a little bigger now and they say you're growing up let me show you. Oh they teach us to peel the sugar cane and then I can't eat a piece of this one. Hold on guys. So we're going to save this part to plant. Cut off here. All of these can be new plants by the way guys. I'm going to eat this piece though. So we're cutting off here and we're going to root this part. This part guys. Alright let me show you. So this is PG 95. When you reach that age then you learn to peel your cane like this. A very sharp machete. You just do like that guys. I'm going to peel it in the container so I can take it up. Because I know you guys are going to say Marie you're going to make ants come in the garden. Yes guys you just do like that. This one burst. Cut out that part. And my dad used to sell cane so he's a professional at this. He used to sell sugar cane in Highgate Square. Guys and when you get it like that now. That is it. Alright guys that is it. Alright enough of that guys. So these are two. These are two plants. I've seen that we already have so many suckers growing in there and more are going to grow. I'm just going to show you how I plant these two. And I don't plant them deep guys. I use just a piece of stick. Scratch away the surface of the soil and then simply placing the piece down in there. You don't even have to cover that guys but I will just put a little dirt over it. And before you know it that's another sugar cane plant. Where's my other piece? This is the other piece. Just scratch away the soil like so. Place my piece of sugar cane down in there. See that this one already growing this way. I'm placing the sugar cane that way. Let me dig the hole a deeper and then I just place it like so down in there and cover. That is it. So had I, if I had no sugar cane plants at all those would have been two sugar cane plants that I would get sugar cane from in about nine months time. Sugar cane takes about nine months to be ready. Yeah easy as one two three. I do have other sugar cane growing I'm going to show you shortly but first before I forget let me show you the tomato guys. And I'm going to come back and sort out the other sugar cane that I have. The sugar cane that I have lying back here off camera. Remember I showed you this tomato in one of my videos and some of the leaves were like discolored and said I was going to take them off but I didn't. And now those yellow spots they have greened over. Not seen no yellow spot at all on the leaves but I'm seeing tomatoes on the plant so yes yes. Now if you look right here guys can you see it? I hope you can. This is a tomato right here and another one right here and then a few more right there and a few over there. I am so so happy to see tomatoes. Guys you know tomatoes I have not had tomatoes since the summer kicked in. Whenever it gets too hot my tomatoes just die or they just get diseased and I just lose them. But he's looking up for tomatoes now. All right let me show you those. Before we lose track let me show you those other sugar canes I have coming. Well let me just show you one more and then we can wrap up this video for sugar cane. This is basically why I plant sugar cane to have it all the time because as I said I had a sugar cane back there but let's not go back in life let's go forward. I have a white cane growing back there. What do you want to see guys? All right let me show you. This is a white cane. These sugar canes are really really sweet and soft not only sweet but soft. Well guys this one because it is so far back here it gets no care. I am ashamed to say but it was supposed to be molded up a long while back. Why am I throwing away the mulch? A long while back now I am to come around here and mold it up so this sugar cane can fatten up and boy oh boy. Can I remember? No Marie keep forgetting. Cane has itch on there guys. We call it cane itch and they scratch. Some just caught me. All right so I need to come around here and mold these up but these are called white cane. White sugar cane really really soft and sweet. Looking forward to these even though I don't care them. I need to do better. All right these ones back here these ones are called soft block and I recently trashed them. We call it trash them when we remove the trash off of the or remove the dead leaves off of the sugar cane. We call it trash the cane. These are my all-time favorite. They're sweet and they're so so soft and what you call cane string we don't have it. So these ones don't itch up in your teeth when you eat them. This is my all-time favorite sugar cane and I just can't wait to just get some more plants from here to have them all over the garden basically. I just love this one. Ants love them too. I didn't want it to fall inside here. All right so that is basically it for our sugar cane planting or replanting revitalizing my sugar cane so that we can have them producing and producing because I'll just get up and eat a piece of sugar cane and I don't want anything until lunchtime and so I just want to get all of them going and doing well. So again I want to thank you for joining me for this short video. I appreciate your company as always. All right and guess what guys I'll see you in the next one tomorrow. Take care guys and thank you so much for the support. Bye-bye.
