Grow Bamboo from rhizomes!!!
Rhizome Picture (right)
Select ANY of our Dwarf species listed below and
we'll ship you a 10inch freshly dug rhizome of your choice with a
minimum of 5 buds on each rhizome. It's wrapped in wet paper to retain
moisture, sealed in a bubble wrap packet, boxed and sent by U.S.Postal
Service to your address.
Upon receipt, pot vertically in rich composted soil,
leaving 1/4 inch above soil level. Keep damp and in a sun- filtered
area. A shoot will develop within a few weeks and it can be planted
outside after it's branched & leafed out. Our bamboo barrier is
recommended when planting outside. Sorry, no guarantee on your growing
success.

Rhizomes (roots) of monopodial bamboo (spreading) begin their shooting cycle in
southern Ohio during mid April. This is very fast growth and the plant will
attain it's full height by the end of May. With any new plant it may only be one
or two feet tall and must be protected from intense sunlight and harsh
conditions. After it's rooted it's much more tolerant of it's surroundings. It
will always need sunlight and have good drainage to prosper however. After that
cycle is complete the rhizome will begin to spread horizontally throughout
summer and fall and will go dormant when the temperature drops to below 60. It
must have the cool dormancy to rest and stop the growth or it'll die. This is
why the temperate bamboo must have a dormant period while your tropical clumping
bamboo won't tolerate the cold temperatures and grow much
further south. If a rhizome is purchased after the shooting cycle is complete
the rhizome
will put up growth (leaves) for sunlight feeding through photosynthesis. This
brings energy into the rhizome where it's stored until next years shooting
cycle.
