I had a magnificent black Bamboo - except two year ago it flowered and seeded.

I was told once they seed there stuffed, but being a sporting type, i tried chopping it down to ground. It came back up to about 3 feet - and seeded again.

So,  ive collected the seeds instead.

Any advice on how to get them to germinate? Whats the optimum conditions?
