The difference between Dracaena and Bottle Orchid

1. Leaves

Their leaves are long and shaped like needles draped down backwards, but the dragon's blood leaves are a little wider and have no petioles. A large bunch of leaves growing together look very dense. The wine bottle is a little different. There are fine teeth on the edges of its leaves, which droop naturally. If the wine bottle is a long flowing hair, then the dragon's blood is a mess on the top of the head.

2. Stem

The stem of dragon's blood looks basically the same thickness from top to bottom. Even if there are particularly thick places, they are also forked places. It looks no different from the stems of ordinary plants. The bottle orchid is different. The stems at its roots are particularly enlarged and look like a large bottle of champagne, hence its name. It is quite easy to tell the two plants apart just by looking at their stems. Moreover, the length of the stems of the two is also different, with dragon blood being generally shorter.

3. Flowers

The flowers of dragon's blood grow in clusters, while the ones in bottles are smaller, white and small, and look very cute. And it takes more than 10 years for the plant to bloom those tiny flowers.

4. Temperature

Dragon blood likes high temperatures, high water content in the air, and plenty of sunlight. This is a plant introduced from a hot and rainy place, so it is not adapted to conditions that are too cold. The minimum temperature cannot be lower than 10 degrees, and it is best to keep it in an environment above 15 degrees.

When it's cold in winter, its leaves often turn yellow or brown for no apparent reason. This is because it's too cold and its roots can't absorb enough water.

But the wine bottle is completely different, he likes mildness. It's okay if the temperature is a little lower, and it's also okay if it's a little higher. The most suitable temperature is preferably between 16 and 28 degrees. He can fully tolerate cold weather. When the temperature drops to 0 degrees in winter, ordinary flowers and plants will definitely not be able to withstand such a low temperature and have to be placed in a warmer place. He has no stress at all in this temperature and can spend a long winter safely and greenly.
