DESCRIPTION:

This “largest blade of grass in the world” (it belongs to the grass family) is native to Southeast Asia. In southern China, these giants reach a growth height of up to 30 meters. Due to climatic conditions in Central Europe, Phyllostachys pubescens Moso reaches a height of 8 to 10 meters here. The culms reach diameters of 8 to 18 cm. The leaves are green, medium-sized, 4 to 11 cm long, and 0.5 to 1.2 cm wide, and they grow very densely. A single culm can carry up to 100,000 leaves. This bamboo species forms many runners and is winter hardy down to -15 °C.

Cultivation:

To pre-treat the seeds, please let them soak in lukewarm water for about one day. The water temperature must never exceed 40°C. Like all grasses, this bamboo is a light germinator. Press the grain-like seeds onto moist sowing substrate (e.g., seed-starting soil, potting soil, or coco coir) and do not cover them with soil, or only very minimally. Place the container in a warm location. Bamboo seeds prefer high humidity (use a spray bottle) and must never dry out (but avoid waterlogging!). At temperatures around 25°C and with consistent moisture, the seeds will germinate after approx. 15 to 20 days.

Please note:

This is a natural product. Therefore, we generally cannot assume a sprouting or germination guarantee for seeds, as the conditions under which sowing was carried out by the customer cannot be assessed or influenced by us.
