Bambusa nutans
Nepal bamboo

Bambusa nutans, called Nepal Bamboo is a horstig growing bamboo with about 15 m height and 8 cm thick stalks. Green stalks with whitish rings.

Sprinkle bamboo seeds for 24h in lukewarm water (about 30 C).

Spread some seeds on the peat pot and cover thinly with the Jiffy substrate (about 2 mm).

Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed.

Location: on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse partially shaded, during the day the temperatures should be around 27 - 32 C, at night a bit lower at 25 - 28 C. .

The germination time for bamboo seeds is between 10 and 40 days, depending on the variety.
