Growing Bamboo

I have turned my bathroom into a makeshift bamboo nursery and Im very excited by whats happening here. I have grown out one seedling from seed and have about three hundred moso seeds germinating.

Soak the seeds in warm water for 15 minutes. Plant them in soil loose enough to allow new plants to sprout easily, a garden ceter employee can suggest one. Plant them in a humidity tray with dome & cover with a 1/4 inch of soil. Place them in a good source of light. I use a bright white 100 watt compact fluorescent light bulb. It can take 3-4 weeks or longer for the seeds to sprout. Keep the soil moist but not soggy & open the dome vents to let in fresh air & excess moisture out as needed.

I grew Ghost bamboos. I soaked the seeds in warm salted water for ~10 minutes, then planted them in a used yogurt container. The hardest part I belive is to maintain the humidity and temperature. Before planting, I poured enough water in the potting mix, then turned it over with my palm pressing the mix to drain maximum water. Then I planted seeds and covered container with cling wrap. In 2 weeks, 1 out of 3 sprouted, another week after another one sprouted- the third one didn't germinate.

if Bamboo is a pest and it "Shares resources" using its Roots then why dont people put poison in its natural water source and let the poison Spread from plant to plant

Thanks for the information, i've been thinking about trying to grow moso from seeds. What would be the best temperature for germination?

How long does it take for a Phyllostachys Pubescens 'Moso' seedling to reach maturity or maximum size? And how long will it take for a mature plant to form a growth and eventually forming a small patch of bamboo forest?
