How to grow dahlias and the difference between them

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: When growing lilies, you need to provide soil suitable for growth. The basic permeability requirements need to be guaranteed and it also needs to be rich in nutrients. You can mix garden soil, coal slag, leaf mold, and fine sand, and add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to ensure good nutrients.

2. Light: It is a sun-loving plant and needs sufficient sunlight. It should be exposed to at least 6 hours of sunlight a day during the growing period. It cannot lack sunlight, otherwise its growth will be hindered. The summer sun is strong, so you need to take shade measures to avoid direct sunlight.

3. Watering: If there is a lack of water, it will directly affect the growth of the lily, so you must supply enough water. Water it immediately after the soil becomes dry. Be careful not to give too much water, otherwise water will accumulate and cause root rot.

4. Fertilization: Lilac likes fertilizer, so you need to apply enough base fertilizer before planting it in pots. Fertilize it in time during the period of vigorous growth, and apply fertilizer every 10-15 days.

2. Differences from Dahlia

1. Difference in plant shape: The plant shape of the lily is relatively small, with a height of only about 20-60 cm. The dahlia plant is tall and sturdy, and can grow to a height of about 1.5 to 2 meters.

2. Differences in flowers: The lily blooms from July to October every year, and the flowers come in many colors, including yellow, white, red, etc. Dahlias bloom from June to September, with fewer colors but a richer variety of flower shapes.
