how deep is to deep for planting moso seeds

| I planted my moso bamboo seedlings(12 in all) about two weeks ago. I missread the directions and planted most of the seeds about 3/4" down...Are the seeds to deep or will it just take longer to germinate. I have two wicks being fed into the large plastic pot filled with sand. I did this to give the roots some room to grow without the need of transplanting them.I also made a plastic wrap and coat hanger cover today(two weeks in) to boost the humidity. Am I doing this all wrong. Since I am growing them under the garage window, I can allow the water to run on the floor. There is generally a small puddle running from the pot of sand. Is it too wet, or just right? This is my first time growing bamboo. |

| The soil mixture should just be kept damp. If you have it covered there is no need to keep it constatntly watered. All my bamboo seed I have germinated I sowed just under the surface. I also always use a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat moss. |

| next time I try growing them, I will put them on and just below the surface. I will wait and see if these grow for now. I think I will just continue with what I am doing for now...Thanks though. Where would you get cutting of bamboo? |
