I successfully planted and just harvested cane from cuttings, in less than a year!

I didn't measure but I did as following:

Allow a few stalks to sit in bucket of water for a few days then planted them.

Other stalks I cut into 5-8 inches depending on the "nods" then planted those

Both method work. Planted on in the evening, watered daily took about 4 week for cane to emerge. I will find photos and update as I can..

Good luck!
