Neosinocalamus affinis

Neosinocalamus affinis is a clumping bamboo, which reaches a height of about 8m. The bamboo culms are pale with yellow stripes and 5cm in diameter. Neosinocalamus affinis is hardy until -10 C, USDA zone 8.

Pre-soak bamboo seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water (about 86 F).

For sowing please use Jiffy 7 Peat Pellets, soak them in water and put in a plastic pot. Sow the seeds on the peat pellets and cover the seeds with a thin layer of peat (about 2 mm).

Then put the plastic pot in a ziplock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm , a ziplock bag of size 12 x 17 cm is recommended . Fill in the ziplock bag as much tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer, so that after the absorption of the substrate a few mm of water remain on the bottom.

Location: on the windowsill or in a small greenhouse in partial shade, daytime temperatures at about 80–90 F, somewhat lower at night at 77-83 F. 

The germination time for bamboo seeds, depending on the species, will be between 10 and 40 days.
