Thanks that's really cool to know that's it's possible. It's an old video so you'll probably not comment back, but I would love to know what species of bamboo it is.

[@bamboosourcery]

It's Chimonocalamus pallens “Grey Bamboo” bamboosourcery.com/product/chimonocalamus-pallens-ccpa/

[@michbushi]

to prevent stringing, just cut/score around the cane with a sharp knife (box cutter) before taking a saw to it, just above/below the cut - it will stop any stringing from going past it

[@bamboosourcery]

Thanks for the tip! 🙏

[@Seafariireland]

[@fishinginbluejeans]

Great tips , can I ask if you can fed bamboo with comfry juice thanks

[@bamboosourcery]

Yes.

[@tw9433]

Thank you very much this was very informative! One question: how soon after are you able to transplant the new propagated plants into the ground after new shoots appear?

[@bamboosourcery]

As soon as you tug on the cane and you feel resistance. You want to make sure roots have been developed. We usually wait about a year or so before they're transplanted in the ground.

[@dwrecktheanimal]

A couple of months. Wishing you success!

[@billjoat]

@@bamboosourcery Thanks!!

[@carterscustomrods]

My bamboo is growing too tall, too fast (golden green strip vivax.) I've peopegated a few dozen cuts over the past 2 years or so, and my biggest issue is the new shoots coming up from the ground grow too fast. My recent just popped their nubs out

[@bamboosourcery]

No, you can't cut shoots. They will die. They do grow fast, and they're fragile... just the nature of the beast.

[@kristopherkirkpatrick6631]

Will this work on "Giant" Japanese bamboo? I believe it is clumping... Thank you!

[@scottchristian6624]

I have a question about propagating bamboo from shoots mine will sprout but after a while the sprouts die am I over watering it?

[@bamboosourcery]

You don't propagate from shoots. Just canes.

[@claytonjames4779]

Should I use any rooting hormone to aid in successful propagation?

[@bamboosourcery]

Sure. In the past, we've tried Clonex rooting gel. We're not sure it made any difference. Timing is the most important thing.

[@Akasha_Silver]

Can Japanese Madake Bamboo be propagated this way?

[@arjuckes]

Hi I am in SW France and have just brought a property with 60 ft high running Bamboo. I am in the process of trying to eradicate it completely as it is out of control in my very sandy soil. Will it die if I just cut it all down close to the ground or do I need to dig up all the rhizomes? Thanks.

[@bamboosourcery]

You need to remove all rhizomes as well.

[@socalju2447]

So this won't work with running bamboo? Seems like it would work on all bamboo.

[@fong-fuhsu5846]

How long it takes to geminate? I follow the instruction. Three months past, nothing happened. I pulled out one to check, it remains the same as I first planted, not dried out, but no growth at all. Anything goes wrong?

[@bamboosourcery]

They don't all take, and after three months if there are no roots, it's not going to take.

[@Gary-fp9gw]

Does anyone know if there is a follow up to this post that explains how & when you transplant the cuttings?

[@bamboosourcery]

We don't have plans for this yet, but that's a great idea! We should make this part 2 video - thanks for the request! If we do, we'll let you know! I'll post the link here if and when it's posted.

[@growingtolive2383]

So what can be done to propagate running bamboo with canes/culms rather than rhizomes?

[@bamboosourcery]

That's not how we propagate running bamboo. You can only do cane cuts with clumpers, as the video states. 👍

[@flamencopropertiesandalusia]

I’ve heard some suggestion of scoring the node to help roots develop. You’re thoughts on this would really appreciated?

[@bamboosourcery]

That can work. We've tried it that way before.

[@stephengarong2718]

What is Scoring the Nodes means?

[@flamencopropertiesandalusia]

This might explain best: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJnaY6N5l9qtlZY

[@gregboshell977]

Is these cuttings from clumping bamboo or can you do running bamboo the same or are you better off doing the running bamboo with rizone cutting

[@bamboosourcery]

Cane cuts are only for clumpers. Runners are best done by rhizome.

[@ggggggg4327]

[@bamboosourcery]

You're welcome! 😁

[@alightuntothegentiles]

Will this work for black construction bamboo (not black Timor, the one that gets to be 12" wide)?

[@bamboosourcery]

It'll work for any clumper but not runners. Timor is clumper, but typical "black bamboo", Phyllostachys nigra, is a runner.

[@kasturibuddar1122]

​@@bamboosourcery1😅.. . .. in 😅

[@jilllywigbear]

How long do you leave the bamboo cuttings to soak in water for ??

[@bamboosourcery]

It's not a part of the process... it's just so they don't dry out while you're working.

does this work for gracilis, weaver bamboo?

[@bamboosourcery]

yes, all clumpers

[@kimsanchez7264]

Can you let me know how long it takes to leaf up?

[@bamboosourcery]

You should see some sort of new growth within a month. Roots are a more promising indication that it's successful though.

[@romioraad5835]

Just a small question for how long you keep the bamboo in water before you cut them in small pieces? Thanks

[@bamboosourcery]

For just the day that we're doing the propagation.

[@zye....]

Can you water propagate them too? How about bamboo without offshoots?

[@bamboosourcery]

We haven't tried that, so we have no idea if it'll work. Without offshoots... yes. It just needs to have a node. We've discovered that you just need a node, and the branches (offshoots) aren't necessary.

[@JT_70]

Can you bury a full stalk of cane and have it reproduce at each node? That’s how sugar cane is planted.

[@bamboosourcery]

Maybe. We've seen of videos of people doing that. We haven't tried it.

[@leespurling9249]

Might work but would've thought the nodes at the base of the cane will struggle and have slow growth. Method in the video would definitely produce more bamboo in a given timeframe.

[@scottchristian6624]

We have done it here on the island of Roatan with canes as tall as 7 to 8 feet and had great success however as with any propagation technique it requires constant watering and can be difficult when not done in pots as you see here. We have also had success getting the discarded branches to root however as of 8 months in the soil they are growing good but have not developed into canes yet we shall see if they will grow canes. Cheers

[@s.s5070]

Can you do a video on the baby panda bamboo

[@bamboosourcery]

Will you share what the species name is?

[@jac8086]

I did that, all died..i left them in the shade, water Too much, Too often?

[@bamboosourcery]

Or timing. There are so many variables and timing is key. It also depends on what species you are trying to propagate. We have had many batches fail here, so don't feel bad.
