Chusquea culeou
hardy bamboo seeds

Chusquea culeou is a true bamboo rarity from Chile. Chusquea culeou is between 2 - 4 m high, has a delicate, filigree foliage and is absolutely hardy (up to - 20C). It is one of the most beautiful and colorful Chusqueas, with dark blue-green knots on light green to yellow stalks. Chusquea culeou feels well in both sunny and partially shaded places.

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

For sowing, swell in water and place in a plastic pot.

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 the 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.
