Thank you all for watching! Propagating sugarcane doesn't have to be a lot of work. Yes, you can plant sugarcane in trenches like farmers do, but you can also plant them on a small scale in pots to later plant in your yard. Grow sugarcane from single node cuttings and you'll get LOTS of sugarcane plants! - Jak na to + styl
Excellent video! A plethora of knowledge on rooting / starting out sugarcane! This is exactly what new comers need!
Davids Experiments are some of my favorite videos.

Literally thinking, "Good! ...just needs more fountain!" Then, at that very moment! 🤯😂
Merry Christmas, Good Man and Family! ❤🙏
Grow sugar! Woo! If you get a rarer variety I would always start it right into a pot of dirt. Water can be too risky with rotting. But once you get your own stalks & plenty to regrow you can be less careful.
This is exciting! Mainly cause I'm in zone 7 Pa and planning on trying to start them inside for now
Love the idea of this! Even not knowing what variety it is (by buying it from the international market or something) would be a fun project that could be expanded every year, Sugar cane looks very much like bamboo and I wonder if sugar canes can be used similarly to bamboo (for trellis or small building projects) if they are not as sweet as they should be for some reason? hmmm...
They are weak at the nodes, so they wouldn't hold up. Termites like to eat the insides, too.
My first time with sugar cane failed. You've made me want to try again!! 👏 👏 👏 I may have to get the cat, though. 🤣😅
Just started growing sugarcane couple yrs ago, last yr around now cut down my only, say 18" diameter clump, before 1st frost. Buried sections (horizontal 4/5" deep, 2 or 3 buds each) of cane around perimeter of property, maybe 1/3 to half came up late spring greatly expanding my 'green walls', or beginnings of them. Original clump is back to about the same as it was prior to harvesting.
Love that it's fairly drought tolerant and 'thrives on neglect'.

Note: I tried two types, the other "giant sugarcane" never did much and didn't survive 1st winter, point being--either research types for your conditions or try multiple varieties.
Thanks for the mention! Great video David!
SO EXCITED! I grew some in a pot this year and saved them in the garage. NOw I am going to throw a couple in the ground over winter!
Great tips! And thanks for stopping by at my second channel little toad homestead!
They always sell sugar cane at the fair. And there’s usually a donkey going around in a circle grinding it into syrup you can buy. I always thought, if I grew it, I’d just lay the whole cane in a trench. I like your single method better.
I'm visiting my daughter in South Africa.
She lives in an area where sugar cane is farmed on huge scale.
The climate is semi tropical.
We have had days of solid rain 24c and tomorrow the sun will pop out and it will be a terrible humid 33c.
The sugar cane grows about 5' tall and when they harvest it, it is piled into huge heaps and put on fire.
There is a mill that works 24/7 and it has been there for 70 years that I know of.
Good luck with your planting.
I remember them burning the fields in Florida.
Why do they burn the fields?
Somehow I've missed this part of the sugar cane education you've taught me David!
They burn after harvesting I'm assuming...
And guessing it's not a perennial?
Except I thought it IS a perennial...
Are they just burning the excess weeds and stuff to clear the ground?
Why are they burning the fields???
They burn before harvest to get rid of the dry waste and snakes 😅. Makes it cheaper to harvest and process. Afaik
my grandfather use to grow lots of cane and turn into molasses. My job was collecting the cane from the field. then feeding into the cane mill and watch juicer run into cook pan it wind through till come out cooked. taste so good at breakfast. thank for bringing the memory back for me. I wish I had pay more attention to his gardening experience. thank again David.
I’m in California and my mom use to propagate sugar cane when I was a kid. We loved collecting the harvest and just chewing the cane to get the sweetness out. I’m hoping to find some to propagate my own. 😊
Thanks for the info.
Right on Right on.
This is perfect timing. I just bought sugarcane from the farmers market with the intention to propagate it.
Yea David! Thank you Sir and God bless!
I'm in mex it's all year growing
Thanks!
I love experiments like this. Thanks, sir!
This was mega helpful!! Thanks a bunch!!
Cool .. . Well done.
Great results! Thank you for isolating the variables and results! well done. Blessings
I think that the reason farmers prefer 3 or more nodes is simply to give the plant more energy at the start of the season, and to guarantee a fairly consistent field with questionable handling.
Lovely experiment
I love sugarcane, so much
Great video! Am so thankful!! Cheers from Sydney Australia😊
Grow these in high school in Jamaica on school farm, loved it!
I'm so excited! I watched this video a couple of weeks ago and ordered some sugar cane from an Ebay seller in Florida. They arrived today and are lovely, with buds! Thanks for your inspirational videos!
Great video. I am in the UK growing sugarcane in containers. I find sugarcane with viable eyes/buds in our Stores and sprout single joints cuttings using the wet tissue in zip bag method.
Good work
Thanks for experimenting, showing us the results, and sharing resources.
Thank you.
Good timing! I just brought several canes from Frostproof!
Years ago, in the late 1950's (before Castro), my dad was stationed at then NAS Guantonimo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo), and we'd get raw sugar cane cuttings to chew on... When I was stationed at Pearl Harbor,HI, in 1980 I lived off base. The Hawaiians that grew sugar cane would burn their fields at harvest time. If the fires were near power lines, it would cause ionizing heat around the power lines and cause power outages. Such fun! My memories of sugar cane! One other note you referenced Jag of Daisy Creek Farms just a few hours north of me. I follow his YT channel, too. 😉 😊😮
Jag is a good teacher!
I purchased mine from a seller Etsy, and her product was so good and virulent, it was the only crop I had that survived. You should totally look her up.
Greetings from KS, amigo!
Hell yeah dave
Similar to bamboo..I may try doing your methods with bamboo😊
The clumping types often sprout from the nodes, though the running types aren't supposed to.
Tell garden cat I said "Pspspsps"
I got some cane as a gift, and it comes back after a freeze. I bought another type online, it grew well until we had a freeze, it never came back.
I have no idea what variety I got as gift. The giver was only a casual acquaintance who loves gardening, too.
it's 98f / 36c in watching this shirtless in frount of a fan, we got a thunderstorm last night ant the humidaty is killing me. thought you might be missing summer David. so there you go.
12:31 ?…….. TRUTH bit of wacky music….. LFMAO. Dave you are one quirky gardener my man I absolutely love it. From Australia
Thank you.
Fungicide is very important for planting, you have a better success rate and not too much saturation before sprouting.
SWEET!😂
Would it be beneficial to seal the ends of the sugar cane to retain moisture? Ex. Fig cuttings, bamboo cuttings,etc.
😃🌱🐢
Although I think the cat disagrees with you. Nice pun at the end 😂
NEW SONG: if you want to plant down, down in the ground sugarcane, she don't die, she don't die, she don't die, sugarcane.
FOUNTAIN MEANS THE TRUTH!
Sorry for yelling, I felt it was important for everyone to know.
Hold on. I must go learn about carrot/banana grafting.............. Okay. I'm back. That was awesome. You may continue.
lol
This is cool. So the main benefits would be being able to sell more plants, or possible disperse them to more locations?
Merry Christmas by the way! :)
Yes, or just have lots more to plant with less material needed.
Awesome information! Thanks! :D Now, after your experimentation, which method you would like to use now for outside?
3-4 node cuttings on their sides in the ground.
@@davidthegood Good to know! thanks! :)
Who would have Node😎 I have done a similar TEST cutting Out Individual nodes from CASSAVA and they grew faster and I got 2 harvests during the year instead of 12+ months.
Instructions unclear adopted ten cats
I lost the live chat 😢
Im just trying to find some cuttings somewhere to plant (zone 8 Texas)
I got some sugar cane at HEB in the produce section! I bought 5 canes and am going to give it a try!
@@amberdow6524ive l9oked in our markets with n9 luck so far, but there is a hispanic grocery and i will try there
I got one at an Indian market.
syrup… maybe…. :)
You beat me to it! 😂👍
I press mine, mix it with ginger, and turn it into a soda.
@@vidard9863 dang. that sounds good. :)
Could you grow them in zone 4-5 in a pot
A big pot, yes. Just don't let them freeze!
P. S. i grow sugarcane in Aquaponics.
They should love that constant moisture.
Dude. Please do a video and show us. That sounds awesome.
I don't know about sugar cane I don't live in the right climate to even try unless I want to try and have it as a houseplant. But with all the house plants I've propagated over the years I find it way better to have at least 3 nodes. I mean most things I am trying are small and don't have as much energy but I just feel it is safer to have more than one node. I've lost a lot of plants trying to break them down so far. But as long as it doesn't rot I suppose sugarcane has tons of energy to push through. I wonder if some wood ash wouldn't help it not rot as a precaution?
I agree - usually we use multiple nodes for safety. I was happy to see how well they did with single nodes. Ashes aren't a bad idea.
Have you tried planting without a bud?
I have not - they wouldn't shoot up, I don't think, but I have a mostly damaged one I got from the market I'm going to try.
How do you keep them from rotting before they sprout?
They just grow, if it's warm enough.
@@davidthegoodI guess I'll have to start heating them them.
Is there a place I can get all your songs?
David The Good Tunes channel has a lot of them.
What do you do with sugar cane? Do you have something on instructions of how to use it?
Yes. I have some videos on making cane syrup.
Do you sell any? I need some canes!! I can’t find any legit places
I ordered some and they came in with the buds already cut off...i have them in a bucket with the bottom two nodes underwater...will they grow new buds?
No, they have not for me
@@davidthegood thanks for the reply ...such a bummer
My neighbor just gifted us with sugarcane and I swear today I was looking at it thinking how can I propagate this. Get out of my brain Mr. Good 😅
What happened to the beard bro?
I shaved it off for Halloween. Letting it grow back now.
🪴💚🌱💚👍👍👍
