Denrocalamus Minor 'Amoenus' variant is a gorgeous specimen. The smallest growing bamboo of the Dendro. genus, their culms have a lime green hue with darker green striations running along the culms. They are also covered in a white powder, slightly changing the hue all together, this is where it gets its nickname "Ghost Bamboo". Like most bamboo in the Dendrocalamus genus, its leaves are large, broad, and vibrantly green creating a beautiful contrast against their culms.
