Well it's been 3 weeks since I planted my bamboo shoot and I gently pulled it up tonight to see rooting progress. I looked carefully and saw a little white root - then it moved! It wasn't a root at all but some sort of worm/maggot! . I guess that experiment didn't work out :lol: But it wasn't for lack of proper conditions - the piece of ginger root I planted at the same time is taking root.
