Is Myrtillocactus and Dali the same plant?
This article provides an introduction to the succulent plant Myrtillocactus, addressing the question of whether Myrtillocactus and Dali are the same plant. Please refer to the detailed introduction below.
Some plant enthusiasts are unsure whether Myrtillocactus and Dali are the same succulent plant. Here we clarify that they are indeed the same plant, with Dali being its transliterated name. It is also known by the descriptive name Myrtillocactus due to its relatively slender and dense leaves compared to most succulents, although the name Myrtillocactus is more commonly used among enthusiasts.
Dali is a hybrid of the Sedum genus and the拟石莲花属 (Aeonium genus) succulents. Dali has a small single head, about 3-5CM in diameter, which can reach up to 8CM, but it easily forms clusters. The leaves are slender with an oblique tip and densely encircle the stem. Under certain temperature differences and lighting conditions, the edges of the Dali leaves can easily turn red, and the leaves may even become orange, which is very attractive. Dali flowers at the end of spring, producing small, bell-shaped, white flowers.
Growth habits and care tips for Dali.
Overall, Dali is relatively easy to care for. In spring and autumn, it can be provided with ample light, and watering should be done when the soil is completely dry, with occasional delays in watering having little effect. As long as the soil is loose and well-draining, it is fine; a mixture of peat soil/coconut bran and珍珠岩 (pearl rock) in a ratio of about 2:1 can be used. Dali is sensitive to light, and insufficient lighting can cause the leaves in the center of the plant to turn white. If this occurs, consider increasing the light exposure.
Dali can tolerate temperatures as low as about 0℃ in winter. If temperatures drop further, it should be moved indoors and kept warm. In summer, Dali does not have a pronounced dormancy period and can easily survive with some shading.
Propagation methods for Dali.
Leaf or stem cuttings can be considered for propagation. For leaf cuttings, choose healthy and fleshy leaves, while for stem cuttings, select the plant's lateral buds. The best seasons for propagation are spring and autumn.
