Bamboo is a perennial evergreen shrub, also known as banana, Penglai banana and so on. It is a tropical plant with green stem, large leaves and oval heart-shaped outline, native to Mexico. Its leaf shape is peculiar, edge assumes crack shape, there is hole in the middle, resemble tortoise back very much..
Spring feather is a perennial evergreen herb, also known as spring taro. Its stem is short, lignified and has many air roots. The leaves are clustered, with huge margin curling and the whole leaf pinnate. Originated in Brazil, Uruguay and other places, it is a kind of thick green tropical plant.
The similarity between the bamboo and the spring feather is that the plants are tall, the leaves are huge, and the edges are cracked, so it is difficult to distinguish them without careful observation.
The difference between them is that the first spring feather is a deep crack, and it is mainly a secondary crack. There is no hole in the leaf, and the edge of the leaf is wavy or curly rather than flat, while the edge of the bamboo is flat without secondary crack, and there are a lot of holes in the leaf. Second, when the young can't be distinguished by the obvious holes, it mainly depends on whether the edge of the leaves is flat or whether the secondary cracks start.
