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.

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.
