The difference between orchid and spider plant

1. Leaf Difference

The leaves of orchid are oblong, oblanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, about 5 to 10 cm long, 1.5 to 2.5 cm wide, with lateral lobes, and the tips of the leaves gradually become pointed. Both sides of the leaves are smooth and hairless, and the edges of the leaves have irregular fine or coarse teeth.

The leaves of Chlorophytum are basal, linear, sword-shaped or linear-lanceolate, very narrow and long, 10 to 30 cm long, 1 to 2 cm wide, and slightly narrower towards both ends.

2. Flower Differences

Orchids have capitula, most of which grow at the top of stems and branches and are arranged in compound umbels. The inflorescence is about 3 to 6 cm, and the flowers are white or slightly reddish.

The flowers of spider plants are white, usually in clusters of 2 to 4, arranged in racemes or panicles.
