Customer Tips & Reviews Purple Sugar Cane
NARRACAN, VIC
Purple Sugar Cane
Love this plant. I chose this plant because eventually I wanted a wind break for my banana plants. Also for nostalgia reasons. It reminds me of holidaying through Queensland as a kid. When I got the sugar cane I left it in It's pot for 2 weeks inside to let it settle and acclimatise then re potted it into a bigger pot. I have kept it inside next to a south facing window under grow lights to see it through winter. After the last frost I will move it outdoors under my veranda. See how it grows.

Grows very fast, water it plenty and give it sun, basically big grass to snack on.

Sugar cane juice with lime and ginger is one of my favourite juices. This plant is doing well.

I love sugar cane juice and chewing on the stalk. This plant needs a lot of water and fertiliser for large stalks. Grows happily in Melbourne.
