Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Himalayacalamus fimbriatus Family: Gramineae Author: Stapleton. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: 6 Mature Width: Habitat: Cool broadleaved forests, 1100 - 1800 metres. It grows well in relatively dry situations in full sunshine[220].
Propagation Notes: Seed - surface sow as soon as it is ripe in a greenhouse at about 20°c. Do not allow the compost to dry out. There is a degree of dormancy in the seed and it can take 1 - 8 months to germinate at 20 - 25°c, a cold pre-treatment might shorten this time[214]. Grow on in a lightly shaded place in the greenhouse until large enough to plant out. Seed is rarely available.
Division in spring as new growth commences. Take divisions with at least three canes in the clump, trying to cause as little root disturbance to the main plant as possible. Grow them on in light shade in a greenhouse in pots of a high fertility sandy medium. Mist the foliage regularly until plants are established. Plant them out into their permanent positions when a good root system has developed, which can take a year or more[200].
Basal cane cuttings.
