Product description
The largest bamboo outside the tropics, with stems up to 25 cm in diameter and 28 meters high. The species is originally from China and Taiwan, and is known for it’s edible shoots and the use of the fiber in the textile industry. The bamboo is hardy up to -20 degC, although some damage can occur during the winter. Because the plant easily recovers in the spring, it is a very suitable plant to grow in the garden. In most gardens the stems will not reach a height of 28 meters, but will still be a very beautiful and decorative bamboo of considerable size. A sunny spot would be ideal, and give the bamboo plenty of water.Sowing description: Soak the seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water, and sow them superficially (the seeds should still be visible) in sowing mixture. Germination at a day temperature of 20-25 degrees Celcius, and preferably a bit lower during the night. The soil can be covered with plastic foil or glass, and should every now and then be sprayed with water in order to keep it lightly moist. Germination is very irregular, it can take two weeks, but also a few months. Give young plants as much light as possible.

This is a very good batch of seeds. I bought three bags that I planted about 3 weeks ago and a lot of the seeds are germinating and some already show vegetative growth. Tbh entirely honest we had really good weather with lots of sun in the past weeks so conditions were ideal for windowsill germination.
De bamboe is na 2 manden op gekomen en het is nu 1.5 cm
Bij mij is deze niet gelukt de eerste keer, maar ik probeer het gewoon nog een keer
Well, these actually failed for me the first time around but that was because of me, not because of the seeds. They have ok germination and one of the seedling is growing slowly but constantly. took about a month to see anything even with a heating mat and grow light but it's the middle of winter, so not exactly perfect conditions. Seeds are good though, good moso seeds are hard to find
I have tried moso before and had no success with it. I know seeds are notoriously difficult but these have germinated in a damp paper towel in about a month or so. Not all germinated, of course, but about 50% did which is great rate. Waiting for the growth now but the seeds were fresh indeed.
