How to propagate bamboo

There are mainly four methods: division, burying branches, transplanting whips and sowing.

Bury the Whip

This method of burying bamboo whips is mainly suitable for free-range bamboo and mixed bamboo.

The main method is to select healthy bamboo whips, preserve the whip roots, keep more soil at the roots, cut the bamboo whips into half-meter long bamboo segments, bury them flat on the seedbed, cover them with a thin layer of soil, and water them appropriately to keep the soil moist. After burying the whip, be sure to water it during dry weather and drain it during rainy weather. After germination, proper fertilization and weeding should be carried out.

Buried Branches

Burying branches is mainly used for clumping bamboo. The main method is to select strong bamboo, cut it into segments, put the cut bamboo segments in clean water, and seal it with clay after the bamboo pole is soaked with water. Bury the bamboo pole with the cut end facing up in the seedling soil to keep the soil moist. The method of burying nodes is also suitable for clumping bamboo. The main method is to saw the bamboo pole into two sections, bury them in the seedling soil respectively, cover them with soil, and water them.
