How to propagate water bamboo

Cuttings

The best time for cutting propagation is June to July. There are two types of cuttings, one is water cutting and the other is soil cutting. For soil cutting, select the top 5 to 6 cm long part of the stem with bracts and cut off the bracts. The final length is about 3 to 4 cm. Then, insert it into the flowerpot and mix some sand in it. Place them in a shaded and cool place, sprinkle water around them every day, and new roots will grow after about 20 days. It is best to use boiled water for water plugging. Select the 8 cm long part of the top part of the stem with bracts and insert it into the water. It can be transplanted and planted after more than 20 days. If it is in summer, you must change the water frequently, about once every 2 to 3 days, which can effectively prevent the growth of bacteria in the water and cause root rot.

Division

This method of reproduction can be done throughout the year, but the best time is late March each year. Select mother plants that are growing too densely, divide them into multiple plants, and then plant them separately. The most correct way is to divide and plant one plant at a time, and finish planting after dividing, which is conducive to survival.

sowing

Seeds are usually collected from September to October, placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry and then stored, and then sown in March to April of the following year. When sowing, first place the seeds in the culture soil, water them a little more, and wrap them with thin plastic. After about 10 days, you will see new life growing. During this period, the seeds must be kept moist. Wait until the buds grow to more than 5 cm before transplanting.
