1、 Leaves and stems are different

1. Whether the leaves have red edges: there are red edges on the leaves of swallow's palm. Usually, a circle of red will appear on the edge of its leaves after sunlight, which greatly increases the ornamental quality of the leaves. However, the leaves of Yushu have no red edge, and their leaf color is grayish green. Such a comparison, it is easy to distinguish between them

2. Leaf size: after careful observation, you will find that the leaves of swallow's paw are a little larger, but this difference is not easy to see, because their leaves are so similar that only senior flower friends can see them

3. Stem hardness: the stem of swallow palm is usually soft, but Yushu is very hard. If you want to distinguish this point, you need to use the method of touch. You can press or pinch their stems properly by hand. If it is particularly soft, it is swallow's palm, and if it is particularly hard, it is Yushu

2、 Their toxicity is different

1. Swallow's paw: most people say that it and Yushu are toxic, but others think this statement is wrong. In fact, swallow's paw is also called meat evergreen. Because this plant is toxic, it is often mistaken for toxic. In fact, it is not poisonous

2. Yushu: many people say that there are a lot of toxins in Yushu. If the skin accidentally touches its juice, it will make the skin painful and itchy. If it accidentally enters the eyes, it will even lead to blindness. But others say it is not poisonous. In short, whether they are really toxic or not, don't touch its juice
