Sugar cane likes hot summers. Sugar cane should be planted in specific patterns and distances, and separated by rows. Plant seeds directly in the garden. Plant your seeds 2 weeks after the last frost date and when the soil has warmed up. Sugar cane needs warm soil to germinate. The seeds may rot if the soil is too cool. Soil temperature needs to be higher than 60°F. Plant the seeds in blocks of at least 3 rows in each direction, as the wind pollinates sugar cane. Planting in blocks also protects stalks from damage from high winds. Plants can grow 3 to 8 ft tall.
Warning: Do not plant in cold, wet soil, or you may experience poor germination!
Requires well-loose, rich soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Water during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro. Side dress with 33-0-0 plant food.
Use a sharp knife to remove sugar cane from stalks.
