Question
Hello, I recently bought some Moso Bamboo seeds online, and planted them in wet potting soil.  It's been a few weeks, and none of the seeds have sprouted.  I read that bamboo seeds sprout very quickly, and I was concerned if I killed them somehow.  What should I do?

Answer
Dear Alex
Bamboo seeds can germinate easily if they receive optimum conditions. If your seeds are not germinating it may be due to less viability or low temperature because it require 20-30 0C temp.
So try again when conditions are suitable, all the best
