Best method and first step before planting sugar cane

So this is our next project. We went to Georgia Botanical Garden and we found this sugar cane and we are going to allow this to root first by putting it inside that bucket with water. We're going to add some water on that and what we're doing is cutting this so that we could leave it in this bucket and allow it to root before we plant it. And okay that's the position where my husband got the cutter because what I'm trying to do is to make sure that there are two uh what do you call this buds right here like as you can see that that's that's where the growth is going to come out from. So I'm making sure that I have that there set and then here so when that starts rooting this will root right around this area and that's the bud where the leaves are going to come out from. So when that starts rooting we'll cut it here and then here again and as you can see on this side this one already got its uh growth a new shoot coming out on that as well. So we're gonna cut it right here and then this would be see as you can see there's some uh there's a bud on that one as well and over here. I hope I got this camera focused. Okay so dad you cut it right here. Where? Right right here. Right here you sure? Right in the middle. Okay right there. Okay and that's going to be in a water. We're going to add some more water in there. Let me see if we have this upside down. Okay we have another one right. So this is going to be our new project growing sugarcane. I'm still looking for another type of sugarcane. I'll probably go back to that botanical garden and see if they have that type growing. Okay so this is what we this is how we cut this. This is the top of the cane. It grows like that. That's the bottom part and as you can see see that root right there. So what we pretty much do is look at all of this growth here. Follow that and that's how we determine where to cut. This is the very top and this one growth two growth. So we would cut right about there. I'm trying to leave at least two uh segments. I guess what that's what we'll call it. I don't know for lack of a better word. Segment of this sugarcane. So there'll be one two then one two and we cut right here. Okay and we'll probably have to cut that again when they start rooting before we even plant it. Okay so we're just going to fill that up with water. I think that would be a good uh good level a little more. Let it hit that. That should be good enough daddy. So there's our sugarcane in there. We are going to allow that to start growing roots in there and then hopefully if we're successful by next spring we might be able to plant the outside as well as somewhere in this greenhouse. So that's what that was today's date. Let's uh make sure we're taking note of the date. Uh we're November 29th I believe. Okay so we could see how it's progressing if we manage to grow it. November 29th. Yep that's a new growth. Let's check the other ones. Wow it's gonna work. Oh wow look at them roots. They're swelling up. Those are the old roots but they're swelling up which means they're reviving. Yeah and and the growth are swelling up as well. Let's check the other ones. Look at all the new look at that. See the white roots? Turn it around daddy. New roots coming out. There you go. The other way. There look at that. That's new roots coming out. I could see growth there. They're swelling up. Yeah yeah roots are coming out. Very good. Yeah the green starting to show green right there and that let's see other ones. Yeah look look at that. See how pointy that is? Look at that. Turn around daddy. There yep. You got a little too far. There you go. All of the growth are swelling up and yep they're growing. Let me see that one over the back there. That one as well. Look at that. It's turning green and that's just soaking in water for now. Yeah all those new growth coming out of it. Let me let me see this one here daddy. Saw them all. Oh wow. How is that for yep look at that. See how nice that one is? All right so far so good. Sugar cane is starting to develop roots and those new the growth and each segments are swelling up showing a sign of new leaves that's about to come out. Okay what's today's date daddy? Today I believe is December the 5th right? Yeah good. Today is December 15th and this is a sugar cane update and as you can see right there that's a new shoot coming out of this sugar cane right here and as you can see roots new shoots are coming out. Look at how long this one. This one is about three inches growth right here and the rest of them as you can see they're coming coming along just fine and what I'm going to do is transfer them from that bucket into this storage box here so that I could put them horizontally so that my purpose is for this growth to come up in a vertical position so that when we plant it it will already be growing in the right position that it should be. So as you can see that's how it looks right now. Here goes another one. They're all pretty much coming with really nice healthy root system coming up and some new growth as well as this one. They are beautiful. They're covered with roots so wow this one is long but that's fine. I just put everything as well as I can. Let's do oops be careful not to hurt the root. Just put it in that position. I guess once I fill it up with water it will float and take the pressure off the bottom ones. So there goes as you can see beautiful root system coming out and that's a new growth. Each pieces have at least an inch of growth happening half to an inch growth and each one each cane will they're covered with roots. So I'm going to put some water in there and I'm hoping that by doing this they will the growth will go upright in a vertical position so that when we plant it it will be in a position that it should be pointing upward. I might have to do something about some of this. So my battery is running low so that's how it looks for now. I'm going to fill that up with water and just let it keep on growing. I'll be making more updates.
