The Bamboo Plants Propagation



Since bamboo plants have many uses and serve a vital role in our environment and landscape. This article talks about the proper way and different kind of bamboo propagation. There are three different ways to propagate bamboo. The propagation include: growing from seed, the plant division, and vegetative propagation. Always consider that in propagating bamboo plant, timing is one of the key success for better propagation and beautiful landscape.

Growing bamboo from seed – Bamboo is known for its unusual flowering. It’s really hard to have a bamboo seeds because bamboo plants flower and seed is infrequently. However, if you have a chance to have some seed it germinates you could have a new clone on your hands this is the best method of bamboo propagation since clump age would be known at the initial stage of its life cycle.

Plant division propagation – In propagating bamboo plants in this method, first you must select a section of bamboo plant you wish to transplant. Using the right materials dig the section out and plant it in their new location. However, removing to many offsets from the bamboo plant can damage the remaining clump because more energy on their rhizome and lower culms.

Vegetative propagation – This is the most traditionally technique in propagating the bamboo. There are several ways to accomplishing vegetative propagation including culm cuttings, branch node cuttings and whole culm burial. This also usually called since the plant produced will be identical to the parent bamboo.
