Not so fast.As we say at our nursery - Shoots don't equal roots. Most viable buds on
tropical bamboo nodal cuttings will break and produce shoots. Often, this
activity offers false hope. The goal is for those cuttings to produce roots.
It is not uncommon for the initial shoots and sprouts to wither away if no
roots develop to support the new growth.
I'm not trying to be Johnny Raincloud here - I've just heard the same early
propagation celebration countless times. Sometimes, reports of reasonable
success follows. Most often, the follow-up reports are less than
enthusiastic.
There are many variables that contribute to successful nodal propagation of
tropical bamboo species. Certainly, the species selected is key as they
range from laughingly easy to root to nearly impossible. What were the
species used here?
