How to Propagate Running Bamboo Ougon-kou Chiku

Phyllostachys Sulphurea Viridis bamboo originates from Japan and China. 

In the UK, many bamboo nurseries and bamboo enthusiasts grow this cultivar from Rhizome Cuttings. 

You can also use Culm Cuttings or Bamboo Seeds to propagate Phyllostachys Sulphurea Viridis. 

However, bamboo seeds are often hard to find because bamboo rarely produces flowers. If you are lucky to have a rare bamboo seed, take extra care to grow them.
