i have a very nice bamboo culm. can i grow it? it doesnt have any roots, but new shoots are growing. i saoked the bottom in water, but it just rotted and died. how can i grow it?
Can bamboo be grown from the culm/stem? if so how?
stick it into some wet moist loose medium like miracle grow starter soil. keep it moist but not soppy. and put it in the window. It should root by itself.
Reply:stick the thing in the soil till it covers the base up to the new shoots. it will put out roots all over where there is dirt on it. be sure to watch the water levels don';t let it get too dry, but do not,,,, do not,,,,,,let it sit in sloppy mud. it will rot for sure if Report It
Reply:All I know is this Chinese joint next to my work had a tiny bamboo chute - with one leaf poking off the side - sitting in a pot with soil next to the register. Years later it's been moved to a table across the room it's getting so big.
Reply:Bamboo is an invasive plant if you are going to try and grow it out doors. You will need to maintain it and keep it at bay. Bamboo can grow as quickly as 1 foot per day.
