The difference between dripping Guanyin and taro

1. Dripping Guanyin

It is a plant of the Araceae family. The above-ground stems are very thick and can reach two to three meters. The height of the whole plant is very tall, some can reach five meters. Most of its leaves are arranged in a spiral shape. Its petiole is also very thick, about 1.5 meters long. The leaves are leathery, very broad, dark green, about fifty to ninety centimeters long and about forty to eighty centimeters wide, very broad.

2. Taro

It is also a plant of the Araceae family and a tuberous plant. Its leaves are shaped like a shield. Its petioles are also very long, green or purple-red. It has a shortened stem at its base, which, after accumulating nutrients, forms a large spherical bulb called "mother taro".

3. The difference between the two

They are both plants of the Araceae family, so they are quite similar in appearance, as can be seen from the picture. However, if you look closely, you can find the differences between them. The main difference is in appearance. First of all, let’s look at the leaves. The leaves of the weeping angel have purple dots in the center, but the taro does not; the leaves of the former are dark in color, while those of the latter are relatively lighter. Then there is the difference in the stems. Although both are quite long, the former is relatively thicker while the latter is relatively thinner.
