This is brilliant content!!! Thank you for sharing what you learned.
Mahalo. Glad it helped
Thank You for taking the time to create and share this wonderful video with us all ❤️
Thanks for watching. Start growing!
Thank you Shawn for this great info. just got a piece of land in Colombia with two amazing bamboo formations and can't wait to work with them (building, food, water increase, etc) as well as grow much more with this very nice method. Blessings and Love.
Sounds like you have a nice setup. Good luck with it all!
Awesome and lnformative... Great idea!!!!
Awesome.... It sure beats digging up the rizomes and watering like crazy.
Thank you Shawn for the information I was looking for. I’ll do exactly that in my future farm in the Philippines when I retire soon. I love Hawaii too ....me and my family were there 5 years ago.
Mahalo for watching. I really like this method. Less need for watering pots that will never grow like what is typical for propagation.
I hope to visit the Philippines one day, it looks amazing there! Congrats on being able to retire there.
Interesting procedure and what counts is that it works. What I do is take a fairly thin side shoot, coil it in a nursery pot with growing media and wait for the sprouts to emerge.
Nice!! I like learning new ways!
Just cut a bamboo section from the bottom part with at least 3 nodes. Remove most of the stems except two. Cut open 2 small holes in the spaces between the three nodes and place water inside the tube. Cover the holes with a piece of bamboo and bury the section under the soil with the stems protruding from the soil. In about three weeks, new leaves will start growing. Voila!
So many great ways to grow bamboo

Hi we have to move & there is a lot of bamboo in backyard. Can I cut several ,skinny, young stalks off , & make a lucky bamboo indoor plant?
Like the arrangements in water…
Or no point because they’ll definitely die?
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@HomesteadinHawaii
I’m in California if that makes any difference 😅?
I’m bummed we’re forced to move & leave all of it behind.
Plz stop spreading this harmful information! To anyone watching or considering planting this destructive, invasive crop, here’s the dirty little secret these “bamboo experts” don’t want you to know…. Bamboo is actually a grass…!!! So I advise everyone to think twice before planting this disgrace of a crop! It will destroy your fence! Make cracks in your foundation! It was even used as a torture device in the Vietnam war….. what a disgraceful, evil plant bamboo is.
@@remingtonfrog3170 you don’t have to move! If your moving because of a relationship/love, it’s not worth it. It starts with a move, next thing you know she’s unhappy w/ her job, the kids, your sex life starts going downhill. Before long you’re staring at divorce papers & a bottle of scotch wondering what went wrong in life. Trust me… there’s plenty of fish in the sea brother
Awesome music in your video. Bamboo layering is very cool technique that I'm going to try this week.
Thanks. It's super easy. Hope it works for you.
I like it! I have a couple of varieties, but they are very immature right now. I can’t wait for them to develop so I can use the canes!
Unique idea sir, thanks for sharing
Great work & thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching
😍😍😍😍 increíble método para propagar el bambú, haré la prueba con mis bambúes

Humanure!!!! I love that word!!! Keep up the good work, these videos are great!
I did to when I first heard it. Perfect word for it. Mahalo for watching!!
Use gloves
@ 6:15 it sounded like he said, "potty mix." 😆
Great lesson, I'll be trying this!
Mahalo
Crazy cool.
Had to laugh at the transition to the bizarre with the humanure 🤣
Gotta fit in the humanure wherever I can
Like the vibe n background 🎵🎶 thanks for the knowledge brotha
Mahalo
thanks Shawn
Thank you very much,
From Made in Bali.🙏
I just tried a technique that worked. I sawed off branches from my Hirose at the node that had air roots. I just potted up the branch. I was surprised three weeks later I removed them from the pot gently to check for growth and wow there was roots galore.
That works too! I showed that method off in another video
Thank you so much!
I’m going to try this on my tropical blue clumping bamboo. Thank you ❤️
I hope it works for you!
@@HomesteadinHawaii I will let you know. ❤️
Definitely trying this with my b. Lako in 9b ... ty for the vid🤙
No worries. Hope it works for you
Thank you for sharing... I like it
Mahalo
Cool....More black bamboo it's so beautiful to see in Hawaii...or anywhere...Thanks !
Black bamboo is so cool. I wish I had more room to grow some.
Will try this tomorrow...
Nice video.thanks for share friend.

Staying in South Africa but I would like to plant some bamboo in Mozambique
Good job

I would like to try it. Thanks for sharing
Mahalo for watching!
@@HomesteadinHawaii my pleasure
Great work dost
Mahalo
You can pull the root up and cut it in strips and grow bamboo from that too. I put mine in a flower pot and it came up in about a week.
So many ways. Cuttings work great too!
Hi, I bought 3 acres in Fern Forest. I hope to plant bamboo for lumber. thank you for your videos . Janine
Bamboo will do great up there
Congratulations
Aloha from Ukraine! Thank you for the video
Our pleasure!
Watching from Philippines

Aloha Brah ! ! Great video ! ! Will be checking back in with you later. Would you consider doing a video on growing bamboo in the mountains where we get snow every year ? ? Thanks again and keep enjoying the sunrise and sunsets ! !
Thanks for watching. Idk if id be the guy for teaching about growing bamboo in the snow. I think 65 is 🥶. Surely there is someone out there??
Subscribed 👍
Fantastic video , I love air layering as propagation , guaranteed exact clone of mumma plant , so can this be done anytime of year or best in spring or summer . 👍
It can be done at anytime, you might just have to spray it down now and then if it's too dry out.
Great video. Many thanks. I have several young Gracilis with culms approx 10mm (0.4 inches) thick. Are these okay to cut for propagation, or are they to narrow?
Most important is the age. Too young may not work nor too old. Maybe try 2 to 3 year old culms, check to see if there is rooting where they are branching and give it a try. A lot of gardening is just trial and error
Gracias
De nada
will try it with giant. from Kenya
Good luck!
Great!!
Maui Wowi :) nice vid
Mahalo
Ty chief look at my 1st successfully by following your detailed air layering instructions ok well I thought I could post it where can I send it
Glad the video helps!
Nice information , any chance you can tell me what type of bamboo you grow and where I can get some . I’m on the west side of Oahu . Appreciate the information
The one in the video is bambusa oldhamii, but I do not know where to get bamboo on Oahu. Try ask 808 green thumbs on fb
👍👍👍👍thank you
Happy planting!
Thanks for the info and demo, Shawn! Im just starting to research my tropical retirement and grow plants wherever I go! How did you go about finding your oasis?
I was young, wanted to find a place where I could surf and live simply. Scanned the internet and saw cheap land on big island and moved sight unseen.
I would definitely explore the area more if I had to do it again
I have kind of the same plans, but I dont think im gonna wait untill retirement xD
great show, Shawn why do you apply the rootone dry? spraying or drenching the area may be a good way to apply. imho
Sure. It stuck on dry so I did it.
Fantastic. Ok once I actually plant one of these into the ground will it eventually grow into a clump of bamboo or do I need to plant a few of them side by side?
One will turn into a clump
I am at 39N Lat farmland mid USA. Going to try potted bamboo growing. Thanks
I was told that this method does not work too well on temperate species, but it is worth a try.
I’m in Indiana, I am trying to start Black Bamboo by seed. First package I got nothing!
@@jackienzaner It may just be too cold there. Have you tried heat mats?
I've also seen people cut above and below the shoot and plant it.
I have a video showing that method as well
Question I have had very good results from cutting 20 foot poles of bamboo and then cutting them into approximately 2 or 3 foot sections putting them vertically in good wet soil but they take a long time to get tall do you think this method would work with 7 or 8 foot sections ? Thanks from the island of Roatan Scott,
Bamboo spends its first few years establishing roots. Will it be any faster to get larger culms doing it the way you suggested? Maybe but I’m not about to commit to that. More than likely you will still have to wait, but it’s worth a try.
Cool, we will certainly give this a try at Mother-in-law's home on the other side of town from our subdivision. There are a good number of bamboo patches growing more or less wild between old mango trees. Both the mangos and the bamboo grow well at the side of a drainage canal near her property. Apparently, they like the steady moisture retained in the soil
Have fun with it!
Wonder if you could do this on monastry bamboo
czcams.com/video/7gG97wm5a2U/video.html
Thank you for this video, it blew my mind that air layering is possible with bamboo. Have you tried cutting away the parent culm piece from the air layered root ball before planting? It might make it easier to plant in pots and give the new roots more space to grow before planting in ground.
I’ll try. I use the parent culm to keep it watered
If you do, please make a video about it, would love to watch it. 👍🏻
Plantation of any kind (bamboo, trees, saplings, etc) requires a specific season or period of time. When according to you is the best time for plantation?
We have two seasons in Hawai'i, Makahiki Season when it is a time of feasting and harvest. Then there is Ku season, time for action. I wait for then.
@@HomesteadinHawaii thank you for the reply
can i do this in mass? or plant the bamboos directly in the ground if i want to make a big area of it ?
I just posted another video on how to propagate bamboo from cutting. Maybe that will help?
Have you tried the "mosspital" method? ... just put the cutting in a clear plastic bin (sealed with clear lid or saran wrap), ensuring the cut and nodule are tucked into the wet moss, and just leave it alone for 4-5 days in a warm area, but NOT in direct sunlight or will rot. It creates a mini terrarium, great for easily rooting new cuttings. I have not tried it with bamboo.
Nice! I'll have to try it.
This method is easy with larger than 1/2”-1” bamboo grown in the tropics. Would it work with thinner hardy bamboos grown in the south west desert?
It’s always worth a try. I’d imagine you’d have to water a lot
I love bamboo, I live in Wisconsin and unfortunately I can only grow the spreading variety. I have to either keep them in pots or dig a trench and put in a barrier.
Bamboo is great. You can do a lot with the spreading kind
Just saw a video yesterday where people were cutting those growths off flush with the culm and just placing them in a pot. Air layering is likely not necessary at all doing that method.
I have a video showing that way too. I like to air layer cause I don't have much soil and I like to be sure.
Would instead just cutting that pole piece and burying it, make it grow? Or would that be much slower or fail?
That way works too but more guarantees with air layering
Bamboo grows best with a spliff and some Yellow Man, Third World or Toots playing in the back ground. 423 Hz.!
Agreed
New subsciber, I was just wondering what species that bamboo was and how many does this method work on? Cheers Garry
Bambusa oldhamii. It works on most species
Do all your different species of plants have as much moss as the bamboo?
Is that from Hawaii's high humidity?
Moss is pretty standard on bamboo in the wet tropics. Helps us know the age
Hi Bro. How long does the bamboo house ( walls and roofs) last if we do proper treatment? Could you please give insights on making a full fledged home . I am from the southern part of India.
If treated properly there are bamboo homes in indonesia that last over 50 years. I have other bamboo videos where I build, you can look for the bamboo playlist
You can use slime from an Aloe plant if you don't have "rooting powder".. it's organic and pretty common for people to have around.
I learned that recently. Its my new go to. No more rooting hormone on my hands
You mean aloe gel? With the latex and all? Or seep out the aloe latex from the leaf before use for root propagation?
@@echandler673 use the slime from the aloe plant🤣 ...
That simple
@@servantofthetruegod7596 ok, I will try it. I have been told that the aloe latex is not for consumption and thought that it would have hampering effect on small plant roots.
Can you air layer the whole stem several on one limb
Each and every node
How did you get all that humanure? My wife won’t poop in a bucket so I’m wondering is it all up to you? Do you mix it with dirt or compost?
My whole family uses it. I mixed the potting.mix with peat and humanure. The humanure is covered with peat or coco coir when we use the toilet.
Does this work with running and clumping bamboo ???
With most types. Give it a try!
How long will it take for it start sending up new shoots?
3-6 months
Thanks for this video! Does this work for any variety or specie of bamboo? Thanks!
It should work for most. Just look for the air roots on the branches.
@@HomesteadinHawaii what if I don’t see any air root on the side branches? K have 5 yr old oldhami and would like to propagate them.
@@jbpsap898 It helps to have roots, but should root out still. Keep in mind some varieties won't work. Just gotta try
What is that green fruit hanging from the vines behind you?
Lilikoi (passion fruit). It has been dropping like crazy these past 2 months. We've probably had like 5 gallons of juice off that one vine so far and it's still dropping!
Dose it work with phylostacys aureocalius? I have some and i want to do this.
Haven't tried with that one, best way to find out is to try it out yourself
@@HomesteadinHawaii thanks
Aloe vera gel is a great alt. For rooting powder
Cool! I'd like to try that sometime
How?
What if i just cut the big branch where the roots are coming out?
See my video on branch cuttings. I like airlayering because it uses less soil
LOL! Propagating bamboo is illegal in my county in Virginia. Happy to see your channel is doing very well. Fun to see it start slow then take off. Content is king here.
Wow. Illegal to propagate. Must be running bamboo.
Yeah its growing but I need to make videos again!
@@HomesteadinHawaii Yes, it's running into the neighbors' yards and into the common space in our subdivision. Getting rid of it is expensive, requiring digging it out and follow up Round Up treatments.
@@HomesteadinHawaii Have you done a fire ants video?
Not yet. That should be on the list though
And how long before you can plant that in to the ground?
I think about a month or so if I remember correctly, but i like to pot them.up for a while.first.
Love it. You ain't afraid of shit.. w/ ur bare hand
I used to make surfboards for a living. If I'm going down, its because of that 🤣
What's the right season to do this?
Now
I wonder if a neighbors ripped out bamboo in a trash pile in the Florida sun for a few days can be saved for replanting/propagation?
Its possible, but you'll probably get a lower success rate
Really nice video please show us what happened to the bamboo
It growing happily in pots right now
@@HomesteadinHawaii can you show it please in the next video but only when you have enough time
Sorry for my bad English I come from Germany
Yes would really like to see the results
During propagation do you need to water it or not ?
Shouldn't have to. Just make sure the peat is nice and moist when you wrap it on the branch
Do you need to water it everyday? Or how to water the bamboo?
No. That's what's great about this method. Just make sure the peat you wrap is nice and moist. It should root without any extra watering.
Does this work for phylostachis species?
Can try and see
I was shook by the human poop 😂
You'd be surprised. Check out my humanure videos
Hi, I really apreciate the content.
I have a question:
How fast can you get your first 2 inches and 4 inches trees please?
What is the fastest method to et big trees right away or pretty fast at your new location?
Context: I live in Thailand but originally Half French Hal African from central African Republic. I have a family with a Thai woman and business here still I have land and family in Africa too.
Target: I want to go to China but see first in THailand coz 4 degres north like Bangui same species should work. Now I would like to introduce or develop local bamboo but I'm 50 I don't want to wait years to get big ones.
I read that nodes have a maturity as they propagate and if you take a young one you get small trees for years.
I want to transplant nodes ready to make large ones fast.
The idea is to use big ones for contruction and small ones for furnitures and piping (can be layered with platic/resines/epoxies ...) and use some as food too and to use for stopping invasion of forest on the roads, it's horrible the forest it taking half of each lane in countriside roads so it can help clearing the sides and sue service lanes for processing it, some people to void getting kiiled on the sides of the roads. You know they hear a minivan they have to walk straight in the bushes ubtil the van has passed. No walkway and even the road iis getting tiny.
By using it as a wall and limit transportation by doing this business along roads mostly, not in depth too much, I think road side sevrice lane, then 2 bands of about 8 meters depth in direction of the bush and we space the nodes by 8 meters and we let it grow withotu any care only some portions we want to exploit for food/contructions, etc and some left to be our side road antibush wall .
ry to import techniques from Asia and south America because it's strange that central Africa never realy develloped bamboo as much.
We use it but at very small scales when i'd see it for global infrastructures like solar steam energy panel supports for mirrors, replacing pvc in low pressure sections for piping (standard sizes, etc. keep plastic only for joints and valves, etc, can be used even as combution or nitrogen source for farming its great stuff.
So simple question finaly:
How fast can you get your first 2 inches and 4 inches trees please?
Let's say we have the ability to transport generous sections of selected proper nodes, like palets 100x100 x50 cm deap I guess and we transport like that in containers . Each one is like a colony that will run underground right? so I guess each species have a different surface it would colonise for spacing the "repiquage" . Is aid 8 meters but I don't know.
Any readings to suggest?
Bamboo should be at a certain age when you harvest, regardless of diameter. To have a fast growing healthy clump, it needs a lot of compost and moisture. But even though the bamboo grows fast and healthy, you would still need to wait between 3-5 years before you could harvest a culm.
Whats the foil for?
Keeps it in the shade and moist.
