The difference between Dahlia and xiaolihua

Today, I want to talk with you about little and big lilies. Many people may not think they are very familiar with each other. In fact, you just don't know their names. They are very common in our life. Moreover, their flowers are very similar in shape and are very beautiful. But what are the differences between them? Let's let Xiaobian explain it in detail.

I. appearance features

1. Xiaolihua. Xiaolihua is relatively small, with a height of only 20cm to 60cm. Many flowers can be produced on a total stem. The length of the flower diameter is 5cm to 7cm. It has many colors, including crimson, purplish red, yellow, white and so on. The shape of the flowers is also relatively variable. The florescence time of xiaolihua is from July to October every day, and the harvest time is from October to November. If the environment is good, it can bloom in all seasons.

2. Dahlia. Dahlia's plant is much higher, usually can grow to 1.5m-2m, and is relatively thick. Its pedicel is relatively long, usually drooping, and its width is between 6cm-12cm. Its flower color is usually white, red and purple. Its flower shape is more, more abundant than Dahlia's. Dahlia's flowering time is from June to September, and from September to October.

2. Growth characteristics

1. Requirements for light conditions

(1) Dahlia likes enough sunshine and is suitable for growing in a mild and cool climate.

(2) Dahlia likes semi shady environment. If the sunlight is too strong, it will seriously affect its flowering, especially when the seedlings are relatively small. It must not be exposed to strong sunlight, but the sunshine time needs to reach 10 to 12 hours.

2. Requirements for temperature conditions

(1) xiaolihua likes a colder climate and can't bear the hot environment, so it grows very slowly in summer. In addition, it can't stand frost. If the temperature doesn't reach 10 ℃, it will stop growing. The most suitable temperature is 15 ℃ to 28 ℃.

(2) in the cool climate of Dahlia, the flowers bloom best in late September, but it is not frost resistant. After frost, its stems and leaves will wither immediately. Growth period for temperature requirements is not high, 8 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees Celsius can grow.

3. Requirements for moisture

(1) when potting lilies, we must pay attention not to accumulate water, or the roots are particularly perishable. The requirement of potting soil is not too dry or too wet. When flowering, we should water more in summer and less in spring and autumn.

(2) dahlia is neither drought resistant nor waterlogging resistant. It needs to be poured out for drainage in rainy days.
