Tinwa Bamboo (Schizostachyum Pergracile) | 10 seeds | V Rare

Listing is for 10 Tinwa Bamboo seeds (Schizostachyum Pergracile).

Tinwa is one of the rarest and most beautiful bamboos with metallic-blue stems and contrasting orange/red layers. Bamboo seeds are expensive as bamboo rarely flowers and sets seed - Tinwa bamboo seeds are particulaly hard to obtain. It has taken me several years to find a reliable (but expensive!) supply

Bamboo is very easy to grow and given reasonable conditions will establish itself very quickly, growing very fast.

• Soak the seeds in tap water for 24 hours 
• Prepare a seeds tray with a good compost mix at room temperature - ideally 50/50 compost and vermiculite. 
• Place the seeds on top of the compost around about 10cm apart. 
• Cover the seeds with a fine layer of around 2cm of compost, 
• Place the tray in a warm place, out of direct sunlight. 
• Seeds usually take 3-5 weeks to germinate
• Pot on as required.
