The difference between longevity begonia and longevity flower

1. Flowers

1. Kalanchoe

If you simply look at the color, it is difficult to distinguish the two, because the colors of both are very rich, and there are many varieties that have been cultivated, so it is not easy to distinguish them. But if you look at the shape, the two are easy to distinguish. First is the Kalanchoe, whose flowers do not have double petals, so each flower is very small.

2. Longevity Begonia

On the contrary, the longevity crabapple is a crabapple after all, so its flowers are double-petaled, and each flower looks fuller. If it happens to be in flowering period, it is relatively easy to distinguish using this method. You can observe it.

2. Leaves

1. Kalanchoe

Since these two plants are not of the same kind, there are also great differences in the morphology of their leaves. Kalanchoe is a succulent plant, so its leaves are fleshy and relatively long oval. They are very dark in color and have a waxy luster, with a slight red edge.

2. Longevity Begonia

If it is a longevity crabapple, the leaves will be quite different. First of all, the leaves are not fleshy, but small, and often grow in clusters. The leaves of these two species do not fall in most seasons of the year, so this method can be used to distinguish them in most seasons, and it is also very easy to observe.

3. Form

1. Kalanchoe

Due to the different varieties, there will naturally be huge differences in their appearance. The first is the Kalanchoe. This plant is a succulent plant, so the plant is relatively short, generally 10-30 cm in height.

2. Longevity Begonia

If it is a longevity crabapple, it will be a little taller. It can generally grow to 20-40 cm. Although there is not much difference between the two, you can still feel the difference clearly when putting them together.

4. Flowering period

This point is closely related to time in judgment, so it will be discussed last. First of all, the word "longevity" appears in the names of both plants, proving that their flowering period is very long, so there is no way to distinguish them. But the two are not in the same month, so they can be distinguished in this way. Kalanchoe usually blooms from January to April, while Begonia will bloom a month later, which is also easy to distinguish.
