The difference between Swallow Palm and Jade Tree

1. Whether the leaves have red edges: There are red edges on the leaves of the Kusanagi plant. Usually after being exposed to sunlight, a circle of red will appear on the edges of the leaves, greatly increasing the ornamental value of the leaves. But there is no red edge on the leaves of the jade plant, and its leaf color is gray-green. By comparing them in this way, it is still very easy to distinguish between the two.

2. Leaf size: After careful observation, you will find that the leaves of the Crane's Palm are slightly larger, but this difference is not easy to see because their leaves look so similar that only experienced flower lovers can tell the difference.

3. Hardness of the stem: The stem of the Kusama dasyphylla is usually soft, but that of the Jade Plant is very hard. To distinguish this, you need to use touch. You can press or pinch their stems with your hands. If they are particularly soft, it is the swallowtail palm. If they are particularly hard, it is the jade plant.

Second, the toxicity of the two is different

1. Swallow's palm: Most people say that it and jade plant are both poisonous, but some people think this statement is wrong. Swallow's palm is actually called fleshy evergreen. Because this plant is poisonous, it is often mistakenly believed to be poisonous. In fact, it is not poisonous.

2. Jade plant: Many people say that jade plant contains a large amount of toxins. If the skin accidentally touches its juice, the skin will become painful and itchy. If it accidentally enters the eyes, it may even cause blindness. But some people say it is not poisonous. In short, regardless of whether they are really poisonous, don't touch their juice.
