Spread some seeds on the peat pot and cover thinly.

Then put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed.

The germination time for bamboo seeds is between 10 and 40 days, depending on the variety.
