Planting & Care

Plant your Yellow Sugarcane in a sunny location with rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, set the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the establishment period. In cooler zones, grow it in a large container that can be moved indoors or to a protected area before frost.

Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support vigorous cane production. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove dead or damaged leaves as needed. Protect from freezing temperatures, as sugarcane is sensitive to cold.
