germinating moso seeds
What would be the best procedure to germinate moso seeds?
Can I do it now in the northeast USA? Can I use Miracle-Gro Cactus soil? -- scp |

Else use growlights and keep them warm through the winter. Once established, reputedly hardy to -18C (0 F) For more discussion, there's practically a forum branch dedicated to flowering and growing bamboo from seed here. http://www.bamboocraft.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=92 |

But I killed all ten of them when I tried to transplant them to bigger pots. The last one while transplanting again two weeks ago! Once established, reputedly hardy to -18C (0 F) How about the water bamboo? I have several plants in two five-gallon pots. Several more in the garden, transplanted over a month ago.

My mistake appears to be using the regular top soil! -- scp |
