Bonsai Bamboo Tree Seeds (1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm) - Pack Of 10

Fill a plastic bag with growing material. Place a handful of peat moss, vermiculite , or germination paper in a small, plastic, zip-locked bag. For best results, use sterile material and handle it with disposable gloves to avoid introducing fungus. Add a little water. Add a couple drops of water to the growing material to dampen the material slightly. If you see standing water, or if you can squeeze out water from the material, it is too wet. Apply a little fungicide (optional). Fungicide can prevent mold from destroying your seeds, but it is not always necessary, and may damage the plant if overused. Add only in tiny quantities, following manufacturer's instructions. Add the seeds and close the bag. Place up to 5 or 10 seeds in each bag. Starting from the base, roll the bag to expel most of the air. Zip it closed. Store in the refrigerator. Now it's time to "stratify" the seeds, or expose them to temperatures that trigger germination. For most species, the ideal temperature is usually around 1–5ºC (33.8–41ºF). The crisper drawer of a refrigerator is usually about this temperature. Ideally, use a thermometer to confirm the correct temperature. Some seeds may fail to germinate if the temperature is just a couple degrees off.
