Step 1
Dig holes with a shovel or sharp spade for the bamboo cuttings. The holes should be deep enough that half the internode, the hollow section of the bamboo that is between the nodes or joints, is above the ground.
Step 2
Select bamboo cuttings. Choose bamboo that is not more than 3 years old and has tall stems, preferably over 30 feet in height, so you can take several cuttings.
Step 3
Use a knife or pruning shears to cut the bamboo. Take cuttings from the middle section of the stem. The cuttings should include 2 full internodes and ? an internode.
Step 4
Plant cuttings in the holes. The cutting should have ? of the internode above the ground. Place the clay around the cut edges of the top part of the bamboo to seal and keep it disinfected.
Step 5
Pour 2 cups of water on top of the bamboo cutting. Keep it watered regularly until the cutting develops roots and shoots at the nodes.
