Spritz each pot with a water-filled spray bottle to settle the seed-starting compost around the black bamboo seeds. Place near a large window with very bright, filtered light. Set the temperature up to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Moisten the seed-starting compost with the spray bottle whenever it feels dry on the surface. Do not let the seed-starting compost dry out; the seeds can take a few months to germinate.
