Description: BambooBamboo is the fastest-growing plant on the planet, allowing it to be harvested every 3-5 years. This rapid growth is another compelling reason for bamboo's reputation as a sustainable resource! Though it can be utilized similarly to wood, bamboo is actually a type of woody grass. Its growth rate surpasses that of hardwood, which typically requires 10-20 years before it's ready for harvesting.Bamboo possesses natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. It features an innate barrier that repels bacteria and insects, enabling it to flourish without pesticides. This characteristic not only contributes to a healthier material but also helps prevent odors and discoloration caused by bacterial growth.Bamboo is the ultimate regenerative plant, as it can be harvested without damaging its root system. Instead of uprooting the entire plant, bamboo is cut near the base, allowing it to regrow from where it was harvested. This method minimizes resource consumption and avoids excessive tilling of the soil.The extensive root networks of bamboo are highly effective in preventing soil erosion. Bamboo forests help keep the soil compact, thus reducing the risk of erosion. In severe weather conditions, such as typhoons and floods, bamboo also plays a role in preventing landslides.There are over 1,600 species of bamboo across the globe. Ranging from towering giants that can reach heights of 100 feet to the Chinese fountain bamboo, which boasts dense, shade-giving foliage, bamboo comes in diverse forms. However, the “lucky bamboo” you might know is not actually a true bamboo; its real name is Dracaena Sanderiana, although it resembles bamboo closely.Bamboo flowers or seeds only once every century, and when it does, every plant of the same species, regardless of location, does so simultaneously. Flowering is a rare event for bamboo, happening approximately every 50 to 150 years. But when it occurs, every plant of that species blossoms at the same time, even if they are situated on opposite sides of the globe.Bamboo is remarkably drought-resistant. During dry spells, its leaves will curl or even drop to conserve water. This hardy plant thrives on every continent except Antarctica. To survive in low-water conditions, bamboo curls its leaves to protect its vital resources. If the drought worsens, it will shed its leaves to conserve even more water for essential processes. Sowing1. Get the seed-starting compost into a bucket or large bowl. Add a small amount of water while you mix the compost with your hand. Keep adding water while at the same time stirring until you get a moderately moist compost mixture.2. Proceed to fill the several 3-inch square pots with the seed-starting compost. For each pot, add two bamboo seeds on the surface and then add about 1/16 inches of compost to cover the seeds. With the seeds in place, spritz each of the pot with water to settle the compost around the newly planted golden bamboo seeds. Keep spraying the water until the top layer of compost feels saturated.3. As your choices, you need a propagation mat. Place this propagation mat near a large window with bright filtered light coming through it. Set its temperature to around 68 degrees F and set up the pots on top of the propagation mat.4. Each time you notice the compost is starting to dry on the surface, spray a bit of water to moisten it. You should never let the seed-starting compost dry out.5. After two weeks, you should start watching out for signs of sprouting. You should still be patient as some might take up to 6 months just to sprout.6. With the seedlings showing better signs of growth, move them to a greenhouse environment. Such an environment should have bright light, temperatures above 68 degrees F, and high humidity. Always keep these seedlings out of direct sunlight and well-watered.7. After a few weeks, you can now transplant the bamboo plants into the field or garden. It is recommended that you transplant them in a partially shaded bed containing loamy soil. The soil should be well-drained. Growing:As part of taking care of your bamboo plant, the use of nitrogen fertilizer is highly recommended for the best outcomes. To apply fertilizer, it should be done during the two growth phases of the plant. The first application has to be done during spring. This is when the plant is trying to gain new shoots. The second application is during the summer months when the plant rhizomes are expanding. You can prune the plants to limit their growth into thick clumps or hedges.This type of bamboo is non-invasive as compared to some other bamboo species.You can do so by placing them in containers that restrict their root growth, but too much restriction is not healthy for the plant.
