sugar cane


This is not the first time I've tried to grow sugar cane.  In September I bought a couple of canes from the Asian store and chopped up 4 pieces to plant.  The pot was sitting with the bother seedlings in a protected area and not much was happening.  When I moved the pot to a warm, north facing, protected area things began to happen.  It took weeks to come to the stage shown in the picture.

The plant is growing and is now almost 24 cm high and was transplanted into a bigger pot a few weeks ago.  Another shoot is appearing in the seedling pot so I am hoping to have a couple of clumps of sugarcane in my garden.  I would have to protect them in winter if they were to survive.
