How to propagate umbrella bamboo and precautions

Umbrella bamboo propagation method

Umbrella bamboo can be propagated by three methods: cutting propagation, division propagation, and sowing propagation. The survival rate of these three propagation methods is relatively high, and the growth rate is also relatively fast, so they can be used most of the time.

Seed propagation of umbrella bamboo

Umbrella bamboo seeds can be propagated. The seeds are usually harvested in September and October each year and then sown in the spring of the following year.

The natural way for umbrella bamboo to reproduce is through seed propagation. The planting method is relatively simple and it will be planted in March and April every year.

Umbrella bamboo breeding time

Umbrella bamboo can be planted in April and May every year. The survival rate is the highest at this time, and the temperature and climate are also suitable for growth. It can be propagated by division.

Propagation of Umbrella Bamboo by Division

When propagating umbrella bamboo by division, it is usually carried out in April and May every year. Loose and fertile soil is required, and a flower pot of suitable size is required.

Cutting propagation of umbrella bamboo

Umbrella bamboo can be propagated by cuttings in fact all year round, but relatively speaking the most suitable season for growth is sub-spring, and relatively sturdy branches need to be used as cuttings.

Sowing and propagation of umbrella bamboo

The sowing and propagation of umbrella bamboo is generally carried out in March and April every year. The mature seeds need to be harvested in September and October. After sowing, they will germinate in about 10 days.

Notes on the propagation of umbrella bamboo

Umbrella bamboo needs a suitable temperature environment when propagating. It needs appropriate shade in summer and needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in winter. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 7 degrees.
