🌿 Aglaonema 'Bamboo' — Aglaonema with Narrow Bamboo-like Leaves

Aglaonema 'Bamboo' is a distinctive cultivar of the 'Chinese Evergreen', selected for its much narrower and more elongated leaves than the typical form — reminiscent of bamboo leaves, hence the name. The thin lanceolate leaves, dark-green with light-green or silver stripes, give the plant a graphic oriental feel, perfect for minimalist or japandi design.

Unlike aglaonemas with characteristic wide leaves (Crete Flame, Red Emerald), 'Bamboo' has a vertical silhouette with leaves 15-25 cm long and only 3-5 cm wide. Growth is compact, elegant, the final appearance being of a decorative tropical mini-bamboo.

At the offered size — Ø10.5cm pot — the plant is mature, with 6-10 formed leaves. Perfect for Asian design, windowsills with moderate light or as vertical accent in a botanical composition.
