I would like to change my review from neutral to positive. The seeds just needed some more time and to dry out. After 2 months they are still sprouting , and there is now 30 of them . I only planted 50 of them . the other 50 are still in the freezer . Like the directions say , if you don't over water them , they will continue to grow .

Not one seed sprouted in the germination process. Germinated my tomato seeds the same day, 3 weeks ago and the tomatoes are doing great. Not one seed from the bamboo seeds. I’m disappointed.

Remember these species have a long germination time so it was 30 days before I saw any green sprouts. Now at 45 days there is 50% germination and they are still popping up. I soaked the seeds for 2 days, then planted pointy side up in potting soil and kept them moist on a heated germination bed at 70 degrees.

thank you guys!! my first nigra culms are about a month old now, branching starting. germination occurred around the expected ~7 day mark, this batch was tremendously fresh, about 85-90% germination in a red solo cup on standard potting substrate with a bit of verm. Any Phyllostachys is a friend of mine :) -summary- this is a super healthy batch of black bamboo seed -summary- 3

I received my seeds pretty quickly and they have germinated at a good rate. the price the great so i consider this a deal. worth buying for sure. I use the paper towel method to germinate and it works.
