FAQs
How long will it take to receive my sugarcane cuttings?
We harvest them fresh and ship them to you in about a week.
What type of growing conditions does sugarcane prefer?
Sugarcane prefers to grow in hot, humid climates with plenty of moisture and fertile soil. Sugarcane grows well in Florida and the bordering states.
Where should I plant my sugarcane in the ground?
Sugarcane loves wet areas and full sun. Ask yourself these questions:
On your property, where does the rainwater sit after a storm?
On your property, is there a spot that stays more "spongy" or "squishy" when you walk on it or drive a lawnmower?
Plant them there. Add a flag or marker so no one accidentally steps on or runs over them.
If I order the amount of "4," what should I expect to receive in the mail?
You can expect 4 sticks, about 6 to 9 inches long, of sugarcane. Each stick will have about 2 to 4 "nodes" where the sugarcane will sprout from.
How do I plant them?
Planting in the Ground: Bury the cutting horizontally 3 inches below the soil, mulch, water it in, and let it root. Make sure the area stays moist. Add water if needed.
Planting in a Pot: Bury the cutting horizontally 2 inches below the soil, mulch, water it in, and let it root. Keep the pots moist in a shaded, warm area.

How long does it take until I start to see sugarcane sprouting up after I plant the cuttings?
Roughly 4 to 6 weeks. We've seen them come up in as soon as two weeks. Make sure the soil does not dry out while waiting for them to sprout up.
How long should I wait to plant them once they arrive at my doorstep?
Plant them in the soil the same day you get them in the mail. This gives you the best chance to sprout the sugarcane clippings.
