The difference between Guanyin bamboo and lucky bamboo

1. Height difference

The height of the Guanyin bamboo plant is relatively tall, and the adult plant can grow to about 4-7 meters, which is much taller than the latter. If they are all adult plants in their natural state, they can be easily distinguished by naked eye. However, the plants maintained at home now pay attention to regular pruning, so the height of the plants can generally be controlled and will not reach this height.

The lucky bamboo plant is relatively short, with an average adult plant reaching about 2 meters. If it is well maintained, it can grow to about 3 meters.

2. Stem Difference

The stem of Guanyin bamboo is relatively thick, relatively thicker than the latter, the intervals between the nodes in the middle are relatively short, and there are relatively more branches and buds growing on it.

The stem of lucky bamboo is relatively slender, the distance between nodes is larger, and there are rarely side branches in this part of the stem.

3. Leaf Difference

The leaves of Guanyin bamboo are relatively large and short, about 20 cm in length, and the petiole is also shorter, with a smaller distance between leaves.

The leaves of lucky bamboo are slender, about 13-23 cm long, with a longer petiole.
