Last Updated: 2024/11/24, Swallow palm and Yushu are very different, their leaves and stems are different, such as whether the leaves have red edges, the size of the leaves and the softness and hardness of the stems. In addition, the toxicity of the two is different, the swallow palm itself is not toxic, but it is best not to touch its juice, Yushu has a lot of toxins, can not touch the juice, otherwise it will cause blisters itching.

Leaves and stems are different.

1. Whether the leaves have red edges or not: there are red edges on the leaves of the swallow's palms. Usually after exposure to the sun, a circle of red appears on the edge of the leaves, which greatly increases the ornamental quality of the leaves. But there is no red edge on the leaves of Yushu, and its leaves are grayish green. With this comparison, it is easy to tell the difference between the two.

2. Leaf size: after careful observation, you will find that the leaves of swallow palms are larger, but this difference is not easy to see, because their leaves look so much alike that only experienced flower friends can see them.

3. The degree of softness and hardness of the stem: the stem of the swallow's palm is usually soft, but Yushu is very hard. To distinguish this point, you need to use the method of touch, you can press or pinch their stems appropriately with your hands. If it is especially soft, it is the swallow's palm, and if it is especially hard, it is Yushu.

Second, the two are different in toxicity.

1. Swallow palm: most people say that it and Yushu are toxic, but some people think that this view is wrong. Swallow palm is also called fleshy evergreen. Because this plant is poisonous, it is often mistaken for poisonous. 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, and if it accidentally enters the eyes, it may even lead to blindness. But some people say it is not poisonous. In short, whether the two are really toxic or not, do not touch its juice.
