must be selected. In that case, you can produce seedlings yourself or collect them from a large nursery. During the selection of seedlings, collect bamboo seedlings that have two to three leaves.
Clay tub:
Based on the size of the bamboo, a clay tub should be taken that is a little bigger. There should be three big holes under the tub. Water accumulates in the plant and the root of the plant dies without rotting.
Soil mix:

Manure and stone:
Generally, if sufficient vermicompost and rotted cow dung are not mixed in the soil preparation, the weeds will not be able to grow properly. Then the tree should use urea and TSP fertilizer in proper amounts. And after planting some stones should be placed on top of the tub. By doing this, the sunlight will not reach the base of the tub. The water retention capacity will increase. The soil will remain moist.
Planting method:
Tub preparation:
In preparing the tub, take stones at the bottom of the tub where there are holes. Fill the top layer with soil. Once the soil is filled, make holes in the tub. So that you can plant the seedlings inside the hole.
