Day 18: In Which We Create A Better Home

Since our last update the bamboo has been growing all together in a single garbage bag-lined cardboard box. Two stalks with root-balls and a giant hunk of root. The planter that we've been building was completed today and is ready for its first resident.

We've decided that the giant hunk of root will be moved to the new planter and the stalks will remain in the cardboard box for now.

We ventured forth to the Home Depot to get more potting soil. It was raining and, needless to say, these Little Dudes got wet. When we arrived back at the office we got the new soil to our location on the second floor and went to work. With little mess, we got the giant hunk of root transplanted to the new box. See it here:



We've been discussing that it might be a while before we see any growth. In fact, it could be months before we know if this hunk of root pans out. It could die and we'd never know. Rufus indicated that they generally sprout in the spring, but we think it might be sooner since we're growing indoors.
