The sand was suggested by this company for the Moso seeds. So I used it and it worked. The germination rate was not as high as the Hetroclada, but I haven't yet tried moso is soil.

My Hetroclada count is up to 29. My Moso Count is... 14 I've never lost any plants. I've got a moso seed on a wet paper towel in a zip lock bag that just sprouted a root. I planted a Hetroclada outside today. It's only a couple inches tall, but I figured I'd experiment. It didn't seem to mind, 4 hours later and the leaves were more vibrant green than ever. I don't know if it can take a winter. I'm sure in the wild they have to, why not in my back yard? I heard that Hetroclada has a good cold tolerance.

Great stuff. I love the heated planters, what a neat idea. Probably wouldn't do it, but I'll keep it in mind. And I've read most of this stuff about planting indoors. I guess I'll have to put a personal spin to it all. Of course they don't list my species as ones for planting indoors. Update: Hetroclada - 16 total. Pubescens - 11 total.

I had 3 more Hetrocladia break soil today, so I'm up to 10 total seedlings. My Moso is at 6 total comfirmed seedlings. I would like to order more, but I would like to get two new varieties instead of one. I live in Western Pennsylvania, so unless they can take temps of around -10 once a year, I have to make them houseplants. And from what I heard, bamboo is hard to grow as a house plant. But I'm going to try to make a few Moso into houseplants. Of course hopefully I can keep their growth short.

I planted mine May 10th. I planted several Hetroclada in little peat pots, but have not seen results. I planted 12 in 2 large dirt/sand filled pots, first sprout popped 2 days ago. I planted 8 Moso in long sand trays. First 4 seeds came up June 02-06. I dug them up and potted. I checked the other 4, 2 of them rooted, 2 of them nothing yet. I transfered the 4 shoots to pots, and with 2 of the pots I planted the rooted seeds as well. I took about 30 of my hetrocladia, put them on a wet paper towel, and closed them in a zip lock bag. Approximatly 2 weeks later 19 have sprouted roots. This was by far the best method in which to start the seeds. I transfered the rooted seeds to plastic planters (1/2 dozen 1x1 by 2 deep. black plastic) I planted a full 36 starters of moso this way. I checked on one single moso, it has sprouted roots. So they may be starting to poke through very soon. I noticed that there were some other bamboo seeds too. I'd like to get some soon. I have a 2" tall moso, but that's including the leaf. Great to hear about your seeds. Keep me updated. Edited by cngodles on Jun 8, 2006 at 11:18 PM

No, I'm talking about the PHYLLOSTACHYS heteroclada "WATER BAMBOO". This is a Phyllostachys that has hollow roots, so it's more tollerable to wet soils. I just got my seeds tonight and planted 12 of my 200. Your thinking of the lucky bamb... cough, I can't come to call it bamboo. Lucky Dracaeca is more like it.

My order came today. With all the live plant, two bulbs, and 50 dollars worth of seeds, I was expecting a larger box. Turns out it fit into my mailbox. That was about a 15 day wait, but I'll tell you, I was super happy tonight to get my bamboo seeds!

I recently ordered the Moso and Water Bamboo. Has anyone here ever tried to grow any of it from seed? Thanks, Clint

I called today to check on it. The typcial turn around time is 3 days. They said that this time of year they usualy have 1000 orders a day or something, and now they are getting 6000. Or something comparable. I ordered April 25th, and still haven't seen a bank charge. So I'm just going to be patient, as good things come to those who are patient. |
