The difference between dragon beard orchid and dragon blood tree

Dracaena

Dracaena is also called the bleeding tree and the longevity star of plant. It is an evergreen plant that can often reach the height of a floor, and part of its trunk is gray in color. The leaves grow directly from the top of the dragon blood tree. It does not have a so-called petiole, and the leaves usually grow dense and thick. The dragon blood tree can bloom white flowers, which have a certain fragrance. After the flowering period, it will produce round fruits, which are generally yellow. The reason why the dragon blood tree is called this is that if you scratch its bark, blood-colored sap will flow out, which looks very magical.

Dracaena prefers a humid climate, and when grown in the south where the temperature is higher, it will grow very strong and vigorous. However, the dragon blood tree cannot withstand severe cold. When the temperature is very low in winter, the dragon blood tree will show a pathological condition. At this time, it is necessary to ensure a good soil environment for the dragon blood tree and appropriately add nutrients to help it grow.

Dragon beard orchid

The plant of the dragon beard orchid is not as big as the dragon blood tree. Its size can only reach about 15 cm in length. It usually also blooms beautiful flowers, and the flowering period is relatively long. The cultivation of Dragon Beard Orchid is very simple. Just like the cultivation method of other orchids, Dragon Beard Orchid is suitable for growing in places with humid environment and warm climate, and its temperature requirements are not a little bit. In winter, the dragon beard orchid will go into dormancy. At this time, you need to pay special attention to the temperature of its surrounding environment to ensure that it safely survives the winter.
