How to distinguish between Autumn Lily, Autumn Lily and Maru-leaf Autumn Lily

1. Blades

The leaves of Qiuli are relatively slender, the front is smooth, and the leaves are slightly concave. There is an obvious bulge on the back, which is shaped like a dragon bone and has a slightly pointed tip. The leaves are usually gray-green with a little white powder on them, and will appear in a variety of colors such as pink, orange, yellow, purple, and red under sufficient light.

Compared with the autumn lily, the leaves of the genus Eupatorium are fuller and rounder, and are obovate in shape. The upward side of the leaves is flat with some slight protrusions, while the downward side is convex and the leaf tip is blunt. When the genus Eupatorium is in an environment with abundant light and a large temperature difference between day and night, its leaves will appear a light pink cream color. When the genus Eupatorium is in an environment with insufficient light or a humid environment, its leaves will appear gray-green, and the leaf scars will be dark red.

The leaves of the round-leaved genus Elaeagnus are more rounded than those of the genus Elaeagnus, and are several times larger than those of the genus Elaeagnus. If the leaves are placed under strong light, a lovely orange-red color will appear, and the leaves will have a slight metallic luster dotted in the sun.

I've put up a picture for you to compare!

2. Flowers

The flowers of the Autumn Lily are yellow star-shaped flowers with five or six petals, which are very fresh and lovely.

The flowers of the Eupatorium are only about one centimeter in diameter. The flowers are very mini, with 3, 4 or 5 petals generally, and tiny red dots dotted on the white petals.

The flowers of Maruyeji Autumn Lily are also relatively small, with pure white petals and five petals.

Here is a comparison picture

In short, if you want to clearly distinguish between Autumn Lily, Autumn Lily, and Marble-leaved Autumn Lily, you only need two steps: first look at the leaves, and second look at the flowers.

I hope that you can successfully distinguish the three through the method introduced by the editor.

The three succulents, namely, Autumn Lily, Autumn Lily and Maru-leaved Autumn Lily, are all very cute and beautiful succulents. If you are interested, you can try growing a few pots!
