Choose a warm, frost-free location with full sun
Use fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter
Prepare the soil by loosening it deeply and removing weeds
Plant healthy sugar cane stalks or setts with visible buds
Cut stalks into sections with at least 2 to 3 buds each
Lay the setts horizontally or plant them at a slight angle
Cover the setts with 2 to 4 inches of soil
Space rows enough to allow easy access and growth
Water immediately after planting
Keep the soil consistently moist during establishment
Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds
Fertilize regularly with a balanced or nitrogen-rich fertilizer
Remove weeds frequently to reduce competition
Hill soil around the stalks as they grow to support them
Protect plants from pests and diseases
Harvest when stalks are mature and thick
Cut stalks close to the ground and leave roots for regrowth
