How to Propagate Arrow bamboos?
Primary propagation methods for arrow bamboos include division and cuttings, as seeds are seldom viable. Key factors for success are warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Special considerations include avoiding overcrowding when planting divisions and ensuring cuttings are taken from mature canes. The general difficulty is moderate, with the main challenge being the management of the plant's vigorous growth habit. To propagate, (1) identify a healthy section of rhizome or mature cane, (2) with sanitized tools, separate the rhizome or cut the cane into sections with at least one node, (3) plant the rhizome sections or cane cuttings in suitable substrate, (4) maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging, and (5) keep in a warm, humid environment until established.
