Ceramic Teapot With Stainless Steel Infuser and Lid, Blue and White Floral Print, Glossy Finish, Natural Bamboo Handle, 31 Fl.Oz. /900 Milliliters

Could not germinate any. Finally I stuck some seeds around in the ground, and would have put a hand shovel of garden soil dug around and watered once; at the edge of the wood at a downed tree trunk. Florida oak forest landscape. The soil is poor and sandy, with a spongy airy loamy layer at forest floor. Cutting back weeds, to prepare for wildflowers, I ran into 3 or 4 skinny bamboo sticks - 18" - 2' - kind of weakly standing, kind of anemic looking, so I stopped trimming. The bamboo looks tenuous without the support and shade of surrounding natural growth and weeds. These went in October 2021 - it's now April 2023. Are these black bamboo? I don't remember where I threw seeds in. Don't know how else bamboo would just sprout - nearest bamboo is over 1000' away at a neighbors. So I am going to order more seeds and try again.

The instructions were not very clear and I wasn't able to get anything to sprout but I am going to try it again and I'll update!

I read all the reviews. Did the research. Watched YouTube Tutorial. And here is what worked best for me. Germination within 4 days. Green seedlings within 2 weeks.1) You get way more than 50 seeds per packet. I bought two packets and have been able to experiment with multiple germination methods.2) Dropping them into seedling mix and keeping them moist and at 85F is very very slow. After 3 weeks, I had two solid sprouts (out of 24) and and everything else died.3) Doing paper towel in plastic baggie and keeping at 85F also is fairly slow, but because you can inspect the seed easier you can at least see the progress. Had only 2 sprouts again out of 24.3) THIS IS WHAT WORKED BEST AND FASTEST.A) Mix a 1/4 tsp of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide with 8oz of water and soak for 10-15min. Then rinse multiple times. (This kills mold and jump starts germination)B) Remove the Seed Hull. The actual ovum will look sperm like. (See pictures). This doesn't increase germination, but it does allow you to inspect the seed to see if it's even worth planting. If you do the water tests, you can only do it without the hull. Otherwise they will all float. It also allows you to see the changes faster.C) Combine Liquid Kelp, Vitamin B1, and water according to manufactures directions and soak the ovum for 24 hours. Kelp has gibberellins which are plant growth hormones and signal seeds to sprout.D) Carefully take the ovum out with tweezers. Don't rinse seeds. Place on a paper towel. Spritz with the same Kelp, B1 and water solution till wet. Fold paper towel and place into small seed tray with humidity dome (see pictures).E) I keep the house at 72F and I kept the seeds at the same temperature. Check every day and spritz with Kelp, B1 and water once a day. Two days later the first seed started to sprout. Four days later 6 of 12 seeds have sprouted. Using the Kelp solution will work also at higher Temp but keeping the seeds at 72F was much more successful than 85F.F) Once the seed has a decent size root sprout, move the seed into a starter tray with seedling mix and humidity dome and continue as normal.G) Both leaf and root will form from the bottom (round) part of the ovum, which is why laying them down is better than dropping them in a hole. (See picture)H) 17 of 24 Green Seedlings with leaves germinated and are growing quickly still at 72F.

Out of 50 seeds only 4 seeds grew .. that's very bad

I got no germination from them. It was watered , fertilized and out in a pot in the sun.

We planted the seeds as instructed and after 2 weeks no sign of any seeding!

** UPDATE 7/29/21 **Vendor responded immediately and offered refund or replacement, for that reason I am updating my review to five stars for their outstanding Customer Service!** UPDATE 7/28/21 **I attempted to germinate another round of seeds, followed directions o a T…nothing.I’ve germinated all types of seeds over the past 20 years, these are the worst I have attempted.I am going to seek a refund from the vendor, of the 50 seeds I received, only ONE sprouted andhonestly it’s struggling to grow, so I’m going to see if I can get my money refunded, I willupdate as to the final disposition.To begin I am far from a beginning gardener and I raise all sorts of oddball stuff from seeds, I wanted some bamboo plants and didn’t want to pay $10 per baby plant which is the going rate where I live so I decided to give these a try.I read the various reviews and decided to take a gamble anyway, attempting to sprout a dozen at a time.Note the scan image on the seed package received DOES NOT navigate you to instructions from this company regarding germinating these seeds, strike #1.Of the first batch of 12 seeds only one successfully sprouted, not very encouraging, my visions of a bunch ofhealthy and happy bamboo plants reaching for the sky failed to materialize, strike #2.It took the seed about a month, literally, to produce a start.Yesterday I decided to try another dozen seeds, I made sure the water I soaked them in was exactly 85 degrees.I will be putting them in my little mini greenhouse which I’ve used a million times to sprout other seeds andwill monitor for signs of activity, I surely hope this round does better than the last.For now due to the extremely low germination rate on the first batch I am giving this product 1 star, I wouldlove nothing better than being able to report a relatively acceptable germination rate and will happilydo so if there is success to report.If the vendor is reading this my suggestion would be to include explicit instructions as to the correct processfor germination of these seeds, currently you receive a pack of seeds and you are on your own as to whichprocess or method you choose to start them.Stay tuned….

None grew 24 hours in water and then put them in top soil water and wait water water wait water and nothing came up had them my green house where all my plants and trees are.
