Can I cut bamboo shoots to start new plants?
Yes, but there is no guarantee that the cuts can grow healthy. Many people have tried to cut off shoots, and all their shoots turned yellow. If you still would like to experiment, then we suggest you clean the cutting tool first and do the cutting in the summer time as the cuts grow fast in the warm weather and do not grow much in winter. As this process is experimental and does not follow special growing conditions, we cannot guarantee sucess in your bamboo cutting. There are many other choices that will look very nice. You can group them and hide the bottom part in the rocks or stones in a beautiful vase. Or, you can get any length of bamboo sticks and clean cut the bottom to the preferred length, as it will root again in about 2 months in the warm weather. You can also clean cut the sticks from the top; usually the top 2 or 3 joints will sprout again in 3 months in the summer time. In the winter time, the sprouts, leaves and roots will grow very slowly. A nice vase for these plants
