I would like to thank all of you who have sent me advice on the
planting of bamboo. Of the cuttings we planted 100% have now sprouted,
of the culms (am I using the term correctly) 100% are growing good, one
with growth over 2 1/2 meters tall. We are now fencing 1/4 hectare to
clear and get ready for planting durring the next rainy season.
Again thank you for showing us that it is not imposible to start.

Really no secret, we transplanted them after a 5 inch rain, following 2 months with 45 inches of rain, and since have had 10 inches spread over the last 6...
Good morning all, I've never posted before, normally just read, but I have to comment on the successful propagating thread. I'm just new to the bamboo world...
Stepahanie, even when a bamboo node cutting (stick) looks well and truly dead, leave it where it is for longer if you can. It is really frustrating when you...
... I have to comment on the successful propagating thread. ... at propagating in Oct. Everything is just sticks now, except for the Lako which had just...
One more comment on my very commented planting. The secret I think was the watering. The last cutting to send up a shoot did so two weeks ago. All culms and...
Thanks for the reply Peter, nice to know I'm not a complete failure!! (yet) Will persevere with the 'dead' ones, I'm a little too impatient at times. Â ...
