In plant classification, both CONODONTS AND Chloranthus belong to Araceae. Not only that, but also they belong to the same family. Although the orders and families are the same, the genera and species are different, they are respectively taro and Chloranthus, indicating that there are still obvious differences between them.
In other words, it has two types of leaves. The new leaves are shaped like arrows or halberds, and are usually light green in color. The leaves of the old leaves are palmate or shield shaped, and some of them are butterfly shaped. The leaves are thick and dark green. The vein color is lighter than the surrounding mesophyll color, often yellow and white, which leads to the uneven color of the whole leaf. Different kinds of taro, its leaf shape is also more variable.
The petioles of the pothos are thick, and the ventral surface has a wide groove. The leaves are wide ovate, small in thickness, and the edges are neat without cleft teeth, and the petioles are deep heart-shaped. The color of healthy growing leaves is emerald green. The color of veins is similar to that of surrounding leaves. There is no obvious difference. The color of the whole leaves is uniform. The surface of leaves is smooth and glossy.
High temperature and humid environment is most beneficial to the growth of helianthus, and the most suitable temperature is about 22 ℃ to 30 ℃. In the lower temperature (about 15 ℃), the growth of the taro is inhibited. At about 10 ℃, the growth stops completely, and the leaves below 5 ℃ will be frostbitten.
The pothos also likes the environment with high temperature and high humidity. Different from the taro, it is a shade loving plant, which is more sensitive to direct sunlight than the taro. Therefore, scattering light can be used for cultivation. There is a large demand of water for pothos, so it can keep its good growth by hydroponics.
