There many types of sugar cane but around my area, we could either get the green or the red ones. The green ones are very juicy and usually they use a juicer and extract its sweet sugary content and drink it fresh while the red ones are tough and not juicy all. Well, why choose to grow the red ones then? The red ones are usually grown to make drinks too but its mixed with other herbs and chopped into tiny pieces, boiled for a few hours to extra its nutrient. So, if you wish to grow some, just get a stick of sugar cane and grow them in the ground.
I transfer the successfully cultivated pot to the ground 2 feet apart from each other. Add some compost and water them daily for a few months.
The sugar cane plant will grow and young plants will start to grow around the main stalk and slowly turn into a big bush. It is time to harvest when some of the cane are thick and tall, keep the young ones only take what you need and you have years of sugar cane supply.
Easy to care for and trim the leaves once a while to keep them neat and tidy.
