Germination Instructions
  • Soak the seeds in tap water for 24 hours
  • Optimal germination temperature range is 25c to 35c so a heat mat is likely to be required 
  • Prepare a seeds tray with a good compost mix at room temperature - ideally 50/50 compost and vermiculite. 
  • Push seeds gently into surface of compost
  • Cover the seeds with a fine layer of around 2cm of compost, 
  • Cover seed tray with cover, cling film etc  - air holes to allow some ventilation. 
  • Germination can start from 10 days in ideal conditions
  • Pot on as required.
Overwintering

Typically, sugarcane grows best in warm climates with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 35°C. Growth can slow down or stop altogether if temperatures fall below 15°C or if there are extreme temperature fluctuations. Additionally, frost can damage sugarcane plants, leading to halted growth or even death. Therefore, in cold climates, containers grown sugarcane is best overwintered in a heated Greenhouse/Polytunnel or in a Conservatory.
