Differences in appearance

The white bird looks like a ball and feels soft with its hands. The whole body is covered with dense white thorns, which are very short and small. Although there are many thorns, they don't stick because they grow inward. From a distance, it's white. The flowers are pink and purple. It's very beautiful when it blooms. Silver finger, as you can tell from the name, looks the same as the finger shape of a beautiful woman. It is thin and long. Its body is full of white thorns, some of which are yellow. The thorns have gaps, but its thorns protrude, touch and prick your hands. The flowers are light yellow, which is also very beautiful

Differences in soil requirements

White bird has high value. It likes more delicate soil. It needs to add 1:1 peat soil and perlite. If it is a newly grown plant or just transplanted separately, the soil should be softer in order to take root smoothly. Silver finger's requirements for soil are not so soft, as long as it is sandy soil. General garden soil can be used, and it doesn't matter to mix coarse sand

Differences in lighting requirements

Both white bird and silver finger like sunshine very much, but their likes are completely different. White bird can't be illuminated by strong sunlight all the time. It will soon lose water, become soft and no longer grow up. But silver finger is not afraid of being exposed to strong light all the time. Instead, it likes the sun very much. Don't worry that it will be damaged by the sun. You can put it in a sunny place at will

Differences in watering requirements

Both of them do not need a lot of water. More water will lead to rotten roots and affect their growth. Usually, the soil in the basin should be kept relatively dry. When the temperature is below 2 ℃, the white birds will begin to sleep. At this time, watering is forbidden. When the temperature is below 5 ℃, the silver fingers should be protected from cold and warm, and watering is not allowed
