Propagating 10year old bamboo

Post by Nicole »

I want to propagate my bamboo, only problem is I’ve had him for over 10 years and I’ve never done it before. I can’t find any videos online on how to propagate bamboo that is this tall. If anyone has any suggestions on where to make the cuts that would be much appreciated.
Thank you! Image

Nicole, greetings, lucky bamboo is not a bamboo so the bamboo knowledge here does not apply although perhaps someone on this forum also grows your plant and might know the answer.
