Re: My new bamboo Phyllos. Aurea?

Perhaps you are right. I have long since planted these. I KNOW for a fact I got 2 free bamboo plants from the whole bunch, I went ahead and planted the rhizome pieces, but I have doubt they'll make it. https://s6.postimg.cc/ob7njjlzh/0829181916.jpg On observation, the two plants that made it look......

Re: My new bamboo Phyllos. Aurea?

It shouldn't, not if bamboo is like most other plants. I highly doubt a few hours soaking in water will hurt. Any how It was just so I could get a good look at the roots of the plant.

I picture some guy with like 1 acre of bamboo somewhere asking me to remove ALL of it for free with me having little more than my suv and a garden spade. :lol: In any case, I don't think anyone really grows bamboo ...
