Young plants are single, while old plants grow densely. Leaf color ranges from green to gray-green, flowers bloom from the middle缝 of two leaves, red flowers, diameter about 3-5cm, usually only one flower per plant, the flowering of the group is very spectacular. They open in the afternoon of early spring with sufficient sunlight and close at night, lasting for about 3-5 days. If it encounters cloudy and rainy days or insufficient lighting in the cultivation area, it is difficult to open. The plants are cross-pollinated. The Meatball Dragon Chrysanthemum is prone to clustering, and the plants will spread and grow. The old stems are too thin to support the thick leaves and can only sprawl on the ground, with the leaves standing upright. If a large cluster is grown, the sprawling old stems on the ground will grow new roots to absorb nutrients and moisture.
