my mother just bought a new bamboo plant. I was wondering if I could cut off a part of it and start a new plant. If so how.
How do I even take care of bamboo
About the new bamboo plant???
Way too many bamboos, we need a name. RScott
Reply:bamboos are interconnected with bulblike roots, cut them from there but be sure they have roots, 2 pseudobulbs will do for 1 pot, but soak them in rooting hormone for 5 minutes before planting them again, and water it every 3 days with water diluted with rooting hormone until the roots are stablished, this you can identify, when there are new shoots growing, then you can apply a high nitrogen fertilizer, for fast growth.
Reply:What species is it? (the nursery tag will say).
If this is a real bamboo, it can probably be divided. If it's one of the other things sometimes called bamboo (e.g. heavenly bamboo, Nandina domestica), it depends...
