1、 Breeding method

1. Soil: in order to provide suitable soil for growth during the cultivation of xiaolihua, the basic permeability requirements need to be guaranteed and rich in nutrition. Garden soil, cinder, rotten leaf soil and fine sand can be mixed, and an appropriate amount of base fertilizer can be added to ensure good nutrients

2. Light: it is a sun loving plant, which needs to be exposed to sufficient sunlight. During the growth period, it is exposed to sunlight for at least 6 hours a day. It cannot lack sunlight, otherwise its growth will be hindered. The sun is strong in summer, so shading measures need to be taken to avoid direct sunlight

3. Watering: if there is a lack of water, it will directly affect the growth of xiaolihua. Therefore, it is necessary to provide good water. Water immediately after the soil is dry. Pay attention to not too much water, otherwise it will accumulate water and lead to rotten roots

4. Fertilization: xiaolihua likes fertilization. It needs to apply enough base fertilizer before planting in the pot. It should be fertilized in time during the period of vigorous growth, and apply fertilizer every 10-15 days

2、 The difference between and Dahlia

1. Plant type difference: the plant type of xiaolihua is relatively small, and the height is only about 20-60cm. Dahlia has a high plant type, big and strong, and can grow to about 1.5m to 2m in height

2. Flower difference: xiaolihua blooms from July to October every year. There are many flower colors, including yellow, white, red, etc. Dahlia blooms from June to September, with fewer flower colors, but a lot of rich flower shapes
