Sugar cane is in the similar family as grass, and grows in the form of tall, thin stalks, or canes. Sugar cane is planted in ruts on its side in the fall. It requires no preservation over the winter, and in mechanism you'll be greet with sugar cane develop that will grow as tall as bamboo. Harvested sugar wicker can be made into delicious syrup. Select healthy sugar cane plants. Sugar cane is easiest to find all through the return season, in late summer and early fall. If you can't find sugar cane plants at your local garden center, it can often be found at wayside stands and farmer's markets. Asian groceries also often supply sugar cane plants. Look for long, thick stems, which are more likely to produce vigorous new plants. The stems have joints, and a new plant will sprout from each one. Keeping this in mind, buy as many stems as you need to construct the size crop you want. Split the sugar cane stems into foot-long pieces. Leave three to four joints per piece, to make it more likely that each piece will produce a few sprouts. If the stems have any leaves or flowers, go ahead and remove them. Dig furrows in a sunny planting spot. Sugar cane stem are plant straight on their sides, in four-inch deep furrows, or trenches. They need full sun, so choose an area that isn't shaded. Dig furrows long enough to fit each piece of cane you're planting, and space the furrows one foot apart.
