Yellowing of leaves?
Hi all My Golden Bamboo has started to show yellowing of leaves but not with even distribution of yellowing over the whole plant. At the moment it is one leaf per lateral branch. I have not seen this before. The bamboo has been in my garden for about 3 years and was bagged up because we are moving h...

Re: My little mosso from seed
Hello Rush How old is your moso in this pic? I have just started with my first batch of moso from seed. Mine are around the month and a half mark. There is a marked contrast in how energetic some seeds are and others are a bit more lazy to get started. Did you purchase your seed on line? All the bes...

Please help Identify, in Johannesburg, South Africa
Hello from Johannesburg. I took these pics last week. This bamboo seems to be a thin walled, slender(2 inches at most) and very tall, approx 3 storeys. I had read somewhere that it is easier to identify a plant if there is a shoot to see. There was only 1 available for me to photograph. Some of the ...

Old tyres as makeshift/temporary pots?
Hi all, a little advice please. Would it be more beneficial for a bamboo plant to spend approx. 2 growing seasons in large poly bag filled with potting mix or in recycled tyres filled with same mix?

I suppose my tool is closer to a digging bar just with the piston and sleeve action reversed and the blade is sharpened to a chisel edge This link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8P9d5NQbfE is what prompted me to...

Re: Germinating seeds with polymer water crystals or beads
Hi stevelau1911 This is a great idea, as it keeps moisture levels constant. Please post more results. I just received a batch of moso seeds that I am ready to germinate. I have given some thought to an agar-agar germinating medium. My concern is that the medium will dry too soon and there is a possi...

Re: Does anyone know a good source to get a bamboo slammer?
Hi to all on this thread. I am new around these parts. I have something I'd like to share regarding the slammer/bammer tool. Where I am in South Africa there are extremely few bamboo enthusiasts.
