The utility model provides a process of asexually propagating Kauayantinik (Bambusa blumeana J. A. and J. H. Schuftes) using directly potted onenode culm cuttings in the production of planting materials. The process involves the selection and gathering of 1-2 years old healthy culms with well-developed buds from hea'lthy clumps. The selected culms are prepared by pruning the branches, leaving one (1) internode of the branch intact. The culms are cut into 1-node cuttings from the base to the middle portions. Cuttings should be made 2 - 3 inches below the node and 4 - 5 inches above the node. The nodes must have well-developed and uninjured buds.The one-node culm cuttings are placed in potybags with good media under shade and watered regularly until the development of plantlets. Plantlets are maintained in the nursery for about 6-8 months and hardened at least 1-2 months prior to field planting.
