Sugarcane is a plant that grows in warm places, in tropical and subtropical regions. This has many nutrients and can be taken both in juice and raw.
Raw is very rich for its particular sweet taste, proceed to peel the shell of the cane and voila, you can chew pieces, sucking all the liquid, when finished the waste is thrown away.
They have thick, united, fibrous stems that are rich in sugar sucrose, which accumulates in the internodes of the stem. The plant is between two and six meters high.
Sugarcane is planted horizontally in furrows during the fall. It does not need maintenance during the winter, and when spring arrives you will get several shoots of sugarcane that will grow as tall as bamboo. Summary of steps for your planting:
1.- Select sugarcane plants that are healthy, choosing the thick and long stems, since they are more prone to produce new healthy plants.
2.- Divide the stems of sugar cane into pieces of 30 cm long. Leave three or four joints per piece so there is more chance of each piece producing a few shoots.
3.- Dig several rows in a sunny planting place. The stems of sugar cane are planted horizontally in trenches or ditches 10 cm deep.
4.- Moisten the furrows.
5.- Plant the sugar cane. Place the stems horizontally inside the furrows. Cover them with dirt. Do not plant the stems vertically because they will not grow.
6.- Wait until the sugar cane grows.
