Swallow's paw and Yushu are very different. Their leaves and stems are different, such as whether the leaves have red edges, the size of the leaves and the hardness of the stems. There is also a difference in the toxicity between the two. The swallow's paw itself is not poisonous, but it's better not to touch its juice. There are many toxins in Yushu, and you can't touch the juice, or it will cause blisters and itching.

I. different leaves and stems

1. Whether there is red edge on the leaf: there is red edge on the leaf of swallow's paw. Usually, after sunlight, there will be a circle of red on the edge of the leaf, which greatly increases the ornamental value of the leaf. But there is no red edge on the leaves of Yushu, whose color is grey green. Such a comparison, it is easy to distinguish between the two

2. Leaf size: after careful observation, you will find that the leaf of swallow's paw is a little bigger, but this difference is not easy to see, because their leaves are so similar, only senior flower friends can see it.

3. Stem hardness: the stem of swallow's paw is usually soft, but Yushu is very hard. If you want to distinguish this, you need to use the method of touch. You can press or pinch their stems properly with your hands. If it's especially soft, it's swallow's paw. If it's especially hard, it's Yushu.

The two are different in toxicity.

1. Swallow's paw: most people say that it and Yushu are poisonous, but some people think it's wrong. Actually, swallow's paw is also called flesh Rohdea japonica. Because this plant is poisonous, it's often mistaken for poisonous. In fact, it is not poisonous.

2. Yushu: many people say that there are a lot of toxins in Yushu. If the skin accidentally touches its juice, it will make the skin become painful and itchy. If it enters the eyes accidentally, it will even lead to blindness. But others say it's not toxic. In a word, no matter whether they are really poisonous or not, don't touch their juice.
