Thanks ! Great video. I have a clump of Buda Belly Bamboo inside my screened lanai. It’s been in the ground for several years and the canes are well bellied and beautiful. I get about 4- 5 new shoots each growing season. I live in central Florida. My issue is that the newer mature canes are fighting for sunlight and extending/ pushing into the top of my lanai. -My question is: will I damage the mature cane if I cut the tops of the clump to for appearance and fit within my limited space? I was planning to use the pruned cuttings cultivation . Chris

Glad I found your channel! So, I see you are taking cuttings. But, where exactly should I be making the cut? I can’t see where you are making the cut, and you don’t explain where to cut. I’m sorry if I missed that part.

Thanks for the video, I have a buddha belly growing, do you take of the lower leaves? As I don't see the branches due to so many leaves. Going to try this propagate process !
I recommend you do so you can see the canes (and the bellies). It certainly likes to be trimmed and comes back bushy. I remove the lower limbs always.

I have the yellow and green bamboo. I tried planting flower vines useing a key hole drill filling it in with dirt. the vine climbs up as the Bamboo grows. Humming Birds and Butter Flys love it. This first Bamboo Generation will grow for 100yrs.
Thanks... I was looking at my buddha bamboo this morning thinking about a trim - I put a mature plant in the corner of my pool area last summer, so it is well-established. After watching I am all ready to start some more! Thanks!!!
Greetings! Thank you for this video! I love your landscaping with all the white rocks and the simplicity of the plants your are growing - not all clumped on top of each other.

Earyourbackyard, I’ve been trying to grow some bamboos ( golden Hawaiian, Buddha belly, Angel mist, and black) in my yard. I put some grass fertilizer without the weed killer on the golden Hawaiian and now my bamboo is drying out really quickly and the new shoots that were growing have now stalled. Is there anything advice you can give me to trying to revive my plant or is there no chance for revival??
Yes, give it fish emulsion fertilizer. Please consider subscribing to my brand new channel, OneStepZen, relaxation, meditation, sunrises ua-cam.com/channels/j71boh274IJH5gZgSsljIA.html

It would be tough since it really likes to get large (not height, just mass of the plant). Dracaena is a great bamboo like indoor option, ua-cam.com/video/9VqepYRK5iM/v-deo.html.
I haven't actually grown that one. Some bambusa are easier to propagate from cuttings then others though. Best bet is to give it a try. You could also try to take a division from the clump with some roots, better chance for success.
Awesome, thanks for the video! I think Bambusa ventricosa has the stems that stay like "Buddha's belly" I found some on bamboogarden.com. I live in a cold climate, (zone 5b- 6a) could you do this in the house during winter or should I wait until summer to propagate my Bambusa 'Vittata' house plant?

+Sarah V I am glad you found my channel also! I would pick a clumping bamboo, no doubt, the running bamboo are a nightmare to control. That being said, for privacy, a bambusa variety would be best propably sunburst bamboo. I have a video on that kind if you want to check it out.
Agreed. Is also like to see this. I'm rooting some right now and would like to know what to expect. My plants weren't adult plants, and had quite a few straight long culms. I hear this is normal in pots and when they are upset by something. I'm just waiting to see if they really are wamin.
It is a more rare variety. I would start with one like this:Bambusa Green Hedge Bamboo, Non-Invasive, Clumping Bamboo amzn.to/3jXYaxb Bambusa Alphonse Karr Clumping Bamboo, 3+ Ft Tall, Non-Invasive amzn.to/3jSH57H Phyllostachys Bissetti/David Bisset Bamboo, Very Cold Hardy amzn.to/332HYUl

Wow, is it really that easy? I'm doing some research for an upcoming landscaping project and it seems like everyone says something different about this subject. Most of what I hear from growers is "it's almost impossible to grow from cuttings." Obviously, it would be a conflict of interest to tell me it was this simple. Here's to hoping it is. Cheers.
A friend of mine cut down a very large bambusa oldhamii that isn't giving up the ghost very easily. It's still very much alive under the surface and very actively trying to re-establish itself above. Today, I took a few different cuttings from it; rhizome, culm, branch... I have them in 3 gal. pots of potting soil. I'm hoping they all take, obviously, but the rhizome cutting already has a lot of roots and looks to stand the best chance. Cheers

Why you call it 'Buddah Belly Bamboo' are there a variety called ''Jesus's Belly Bamboo' too. Insane people who wanted to insult buddhism promoted the 'Belly Buddha' or so called 'Laughing Buddha'. Please don't insult my religion without knowing the science in it...
Except the picture that people generally have of Jesus doesn't have a big belly, and all the Buddha images people see do. Is it hard to consider somebody just came across this very good looking cultivar, and thought 'Hey these traits kinda remind me of the Buddha icon we are all used to seeing around, I'll name it after Buddha'.. No need to assume this was done as mockery, is there. :)

is that patch contained from just putting pavers around the base or did you line the hole with root block? How do i keep them in a tight space? Thanks!
Yes, it is. However, some that will not work with the larger timber size bambusas.
I realized I didn't answer the second part. No root block it is just a tight clumper.

thnx for the video. do you know if chinese dwarf bamboo can be easily grown the way you described?Bambusa guangxiensis - Chinese Dwarf Bamboo
I haven't actually grown that one. Some bambusa are easier to propagate from cuttings then others though. Best bet is to give it a try. You could also try to take a division from the clump with some roots, better chance for success.
What kind of cactus is that?
Amazing 👏🏻🤩🤩😱😱😱
Thanks!!!!!
hi wouild you sell one of the cuttings. ty
No, sorry, not my thing, best to ask a neighbor, I bring sugar cane cuttings and see if they want to trade. heheh

Thanks!
I've planted them in clay-soil mix and in shaded area here in the Philippines.i have a question,,which grows faster..the culm cuttings or the branch cuttings?Many thanks!
I think the culm is a safer bet, since they retain more water. I just think they can take more neglect.
i will be patiently waiting till new leaves appear,it may take 3 weeks to 1 month since I I'm not using any rooting hormone.
yep, look for those small green shoots at the node.
wow nice ! thanks you!!!

it has been two weeks since i took cuttings from a mini bamboo and a pole bamboo,there are no new leaves yet but the cuttings are still green,I'm hoping they are rooting.:)
Keep it watered and you will see shoots start at the nodes. Generally all the leaves fall off from the cuttings before that happens. Good luck!

any idea if this works for yellow groove bamboo too????
+gavin treseder Yes, I have friends that have propigated the yellow stripe variety that way as well.
+EatYourBackyard Many thanks! I am currently trying a few different methods. Hopefully this will work for me. great video!
Yeah man, best thing is to put in many cuttings, then if even a few don't make it, some will and you will be set!
Where's the best place to acquire cuttings for this? I'd prefer to do this over spending $40 on a plant.
Maybe Ebay?
do you sell cutting?

frozencons most reliable method is having a rhizome divison.
A friend of mine cut down a very large bambusa oldhamii that isn't giving up the ghost very easily. It's still very much alive under the surface and very actively trying to re-establish itself above. Today, I took a few different cuttings from it; rhizome, culm, branch... I have them in 3 gal. pots of potting soil. I'm hoping they all take, obviously, but the rhizome cutting already has a lot of roots and looks to stand the best chance.

Always good advice, bigger cutters!

Plant a few cuttings in a single pot with loose sandy soil. That works every time.

You are right, it is super easy!
your a cutie!!
Thanks!
Be careful growing bamboo it's an invasive species and difficult to remove
Some is a clumping variety. Some is invasive. Bambusa ventricosa (this type) is clumping.
It is not invasive, it is clumping. Here are some other non invasive varieties: Bambusa Green Hedge Bamboo, Non-Invasive, Clumping Bamboo amzn.to/3jXYaxb
Bambusa Alphonse Karr Clumping Bamboo, 3+ Ft Tall, Non-Invasive amzn.to/3jSH57H

THATS WHY U ONLY PLANT CLUMPING BAMBOO ...🤪
Why you call it 'Buddah Belly Bamboo' are there a variety called ''Jesus's Belly Bamboo' too. Insane people who wanted to insult buddhism promoted the 'Belly Buddha' or so called 'Laughing Buddha'. Please don't insult my religion without knowing the science in it...
Except the picture that people generally have of Jesus doesn't have a big belly, and all the Buddha images people see do.

No need to assume this was done as mockery, is there. :)
Interesting, I think maybe we just call it chubby belly bamboo...
It is alternatively called lumpy noodle in some places. Besides, a true buddhist would never start a conflict.
There is no science in "your” religion.
