Indocalamus comprises relatively small, evergreen bamboos that start as clump-forming but eventually spread through robust rhizomes. The slender stems typically feature a single branch at each node and support dense, glossy dark green foliage.

Indocalamus tessellatus is a perennial evergreen that develops dense clusters of slender, vibrant green canes, reaching heights of about 2 meters. Its leaves, which can grow as long as 60 centimeters and 5 to 10 centimeters wide, are the largest among hardy bamboo species, often causing the canes to arch under their weight. Typically, this plant forms clumps, but under optimal conditions, it may spread and require management to keep it contained.
