Sowing:
To pre-treat the seeds, please allow them to soak in lukewarm water for about one day. The water must not exceed 40 degrees.
Like all grasses, this bamboo is a light-dependent germinator. Press the grain-like seed on to damp propagation substrate (e.g. sowing soil, transplanting soil, propagation soil or coconut humus) and thinly cover with the substrate, then place the container in a warm location. The bamboo seeds prefer high humidity (spray bottle) and must never dry-out (no water logging!). At a temperature of 25° C and consistent humidity, the seeds will germinate in about 10 to 20 days.

Please note:
This is a natural product. Therefore, we do not guarantee a sprout or germ for seeds since the conditions under which sowing by the customer is made can not be assessed or influenced by us.
