Dendrocalamus membranaceus
giant bamboo seeds

Dendrocalamus membranaceus, a clumping giant bamboo (approx. 20 - 24 m high at its natural location), with green stalks that are powdered white when young. The stalks have a diameter of 6-10 cm. The leaves of the Dendrocalamus membranaceus are strong green, approx. 12 - 25 cm long and 1 - 3 cm wide.

Soak the bamboo seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water (approx. 30 C).

Use Jiffy peat swell pots for sowing, let them swell in water and put them in a plastic pot.

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

Then place the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - for a pot size of 6 cm, a zip-lock bag size 120 x 170 mm is recommended. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been vacuumed up. 

Location: on the window sill or in a mini greenhouse in partial shade, during the day the temperatures should be around 27 - 32 C, at night a little lower at 25 - 28 C. 

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

Price is for 15 seeds
