100x Fresh Bamboo Seeds w/ Instructions (Fargesia / Borinda Yunnanensis)

Not a single seed germinated, no instructions with the seeds but after following online advice and that from other buyers still no joy. I'm more than competent with gardening

Easy to grow and fast is put mine in a tube with tissue and have fermented well growing fast

Comming without instruction. Seeds not grow up.

Researched how to grow bamboo seed, soaked seeds, placed in a warm propagater at recommended temperature, not one seed has germinated after 30 days, poor quality seeds.

I was initially very dubious about these. They arrived in a small clear bag with no label or the advertised instructions. I counted them and found there was around 190 in the packet. That made me think that they measured them by weight and they were very old and dry. I soaked them for 24hr (Left in a bowl of water in the oven with the light on) and then planted about 40 in peat plugs and another 20 just in a mini greenhouse with some seedling soil. After about 30 days I was starting to give up and ordered another packet from another company I found online. Sod's law, today (about 35 days after planting) I can now see 5 of the 40 in peat plugs starting to push out some green shoots with a root poking through the bottom. Nothing yet in the potting compost, but I put some more in a pot with some wet paper 10 days after planting the first lot and some of those are starting to show signs of a root poking through so I have no doubt that more are on their way. After a bit more research you should expect to see something happen between 30-40 days of sowing, so don't give up if nothing happens immediately. Marked down 1 star as there were no instructions (Maybe they came by email and went to spam) and I have no idea if they are the clumping type advertised yet. UPDATE: They are clearly clumping from the way they are growing. I ordered some more seeds from another online supplier (came from India) and none of them grew at all. I still have more seeds left over from this order than came in the second ones that didn't grow.

I'm no gardener, but I soaked about 30 of these in water overnight and then 'peeled them out the husk(?). I then put them on a piece of kitchen roll, made that wet and placed in an air tight zip lock bag with some water in bottom. I then put that on a window sill and dangled the bag above a radiator underneath. I didn't expect much as don't know what I was doing (no instructions). All but about 4 had started 'sprouting about 10 days later when I checked!!! Transferring them to pots, I could yet fail!!

All the seeds planted. Not a single one germinated. I've grown Bamboo before. I understand that only a few per hundred (maybe a thousand) will actually grow but not a single one sprouted.

Did not germinate
