The difference between cloud bamboo and asparagus bamboo

1. The difference between the two

The cultivation of asparagus fern has a long history, and cloud bamboo has only been added in the past two years. In fact, they are the same plant. The so-called cloud bamboo in the flower market is shorter and has more compact leaves than asparagus fern.

2. Reasons for the difference

There are two situations for cloud bamboo. One is that it is selected for its ornamental characteristics when it is bred, and the other is that it is sprayed with dwarfing agent during the growing season. When the efficacy of dwarf mexican chloride wears off, the asparagus fern will return to its original appearance, so you must observe carefully when choosing. The density of the leaves at the bottom of the leaves treated with dwarf mexican chloride and the areas that received the agent is more obvious than other places, and there are subtle differences.
