• CUTTING PREPARATION – The bamboo is ready to plant immediately.
Remove wrap from the bottom of bamboo.
• SHELF LIFE – To insure adequate moisture for the roots, planting should
occur immediately.
• GROWING IN WATER – Use 2-3 inches of water adding more as it gradually
evaporates to the same level as before.
• SPROUTING TIME – Allow 4-8 weeks to sprout 1-2 inch leaves.
• TRANPLANTING – You may change the container at any time.
• VASE SIZE – Use any size that accommodates the bamboo preventing it
from tipping over. For shallow vases, place small pea size gravel around
bamboo for support.
• SOIL – Never place into soil. Grows well in Tropical Ice (M7873) as a soil
substitute.
• FERTILIZER – Add a well balanced fertilizer to the water according to the
dilution rate
recommended. Hawaiian Flower Magic (M7503) works great as it contains
no salts, dyes, or chlorines that burn roots.
• TEMPERATURE ZONE 10-11 – When nights stay above 50 degrees, you
can place your plants outside and leave them there all summer. Otherwise
you may leave them in the home year round.
• LIGHTING – Partial sun or diffused light is best. Too much sun will burn
your leaves.
• GROOMING – Cut away old leaves that yellow as the plant grows taller.
This is normal growth patterns as the plant grows taller.
