HOW TO GERMINATE BAMBUSA TULDA SEEDS

You will receive seeds that are plump and firm. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours. This will soften the seed coat and make it easier for the seedling to emerge. Fill a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining potting mix. Moisten the soil with water, but avoid making it too wet, as this can lead to fungal growth. Place one or two seeds in each pot and cover them with a thin layer of soil. The seeds should be planted about 1-2 centimeters deep. Place the seed tray or pots in a warm, humid location, such as a greenhouse or a warm, sheltered spot indoors. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Germination can take anywhere from 1-3 months, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. Be patient and avoid disturbing the seeds or soil during this time.

CARE FOR BAMBUSA TULDA PLANT AFTER GERMINATION

Once the seedlings have grown to about 10-15 centimeters tall, they can be transplanted into larger pots or into the ground. Be sure to choose a location with bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Bambusa tulda prefers consistently moist soil, but it is important to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. This plant prefers warm and humid conditions, so it is best to keep it in a location with temperatures between 18-27°C and high humidity levels. Remove any dead or damaged leaves as soon as possible to promote healthy growth.
