first things first, from miami, so anything and everything grows here...

some my buddy has alot of bamboo at his house. kinda dark green, really tall....

has some yellow ones as well.

all clumper, no runners.

i dug up a rhizome from the yellow one...

give or take, about this size

didnt have color to it yet....

now, where i think i had a problem, was that it didnt have roots yet.

i divided it from the mother plant, nice clean cut, as close to the mother as possible.

but im still nervous that i cut it to early....

i grabbed a pot full of the dirty around the shoot, and soaked it within 10 min. its been raining in miami lately too....

did i cut to early?

whats the best time to divide a single rhizome?

should i let mother nature do her job?

should i divide a rhizome when roots have developed?

thx
