The difference between spring feather and spring taro

Differences in basic characteristics

The stems of the spring fern are woody, upright and quite short, and usually have many roots at the base of the stem. The petiole is thin and long, up to 1 meter in length. The leaves grow in clusters, usually at the end of the stem, and are particularly large, like a palm with deep pinnate fissures, very dark green and shiny. The plant of Spring Feather is tall, usually reaching more than 1.5 meters.

The stem of spring taro is very thick and particularly short, and the leaves grow from the upper part of the stem to other directions, growing very densely and neatly. The leaves of spring taro are like an egg-shaped heart, and the color is bright and shiny. Its petiole is thin and long, and the length of the petiole can reach between 801 cm and 100 cm. Its leaves are huge, up to 1.5 meters in length, dark green in color, and the entire leaf can reach 60 centimeters in length and 40 centimeters in width. The plant of spring taro can reach more than 1.8 meters.

Differences in growth environment

Spring fern likes an environment with high temperature and humid air. It is not very demanding on light and cannot withstand cold but can withstand dark growing space. As long as the indoor light is not too weak, spring fern can grow. Spring finch has high temperature requirements. The temperature in winter should be above 5℃, and it is best to keep it above 10℃ to prevent the spring finch from being frozen. Spring finch can start to grow when the temperature reaches 10℃. The most suitable growth temperature for spring fern is 20℃~30℃, but care should be taken to shield it from strong light; spring fern is not very demanding on the soil, but it grows best in sandy soil with good drainage and rich in humus. Potted spring fern can generally be grown in nutrient soil made from a mixture of peat and fine rocks. Potted spring fern needs to be placed in a semi-shaded place, especially in summer. Be sure to block strong light and avoid direct sunlight. For spring fern during the growing period, pay attention to keeping the soil moist and never let it be too dry.

Spring taro does not have high requirements for the environment and can grow in a slightly warm and humid environment. It can also tolerate dark environments. Spring taro is particularly cold-resistant, but the generally suitable temperature for its growth is 18-25℃. It can withstand temperatures as low as 2℃ in winter, but it is best to keep the temperature above 5℃. In addition, spring taro is not very demanding on soil and can grow in general sandy soil.
