The difference between heartleaf vine and green radish

1. Color

1. Heartleaf Vine

The easiest way to distinguish them is by color. The leaf color of the heartleaf vine is relatively simple, a deep dark green. Because this leaf color is very similar to the color of emerald, it is also named emerald.

2. Pothos

The situation of the green ivy is more complicated. Since this plant takes a long time to breed and there are many types of cultivation, it has many colors. However, in general, the color is a lighter emerald green, which can be easily distinguished from the heartleaf vine.

In addition, there are varieties with light golden leaves, but the more common ones are varieties with many stripes on the leaves, which are also very easy to distinguish.

2. Leaf shape

1. Heartleaf Vine

In fact, as the name suggests, the leaves of the heart-leaf vine are shaped like hearts, and they are very regular and beautiful, so they are loved by many enthusiasts. At the same time, if you observe the whole plant, you will find that the leaves of the heartleaf vine are the same size from bottom to top and there is no change.

2. Pothos

Although some of the leaves of this plant are also heart-shaped, they are not very regular and are generally elongated. The difference can be easily seen if the two plants are placed together.

In addition, there are some varieties that are broadly oval, which is easier to distinguish. I believe you can tell it at a glance without the need for any additional explanation. Overall, the leaves of this plant are wider at the bottom and become smaller as they go up, forming a pyramid shape.

3. Form

1. Heartleaf Vine

In terms of overall morphology, the two can be distinguished to a certain extent. This is mainly because they belong to different species of plants, so they appear like this. The heart-leaf vine is drooping as a whole, with leaves stretched out and hanging down, which is very beautiful.

2. Pothos

The leaves of the green ivy are relatively ordinary, stretching outward as a whole, like petals separated from the middle. They are very easy to identify and do not require much explanation.
