Both of these two types of plants have become popular in recent years, and because their appearances are very similar, many people think that they are the same type of plant. They are certainly different plants, in fact, they are quite different. Next, we will go through them one by one.

In terms of type

If you observe it carefully, you can find that it has more branches, its flowers are white, and it also has a delicate fragrance. In addition, there are some differences between the roots of the two. The root system of Millennium Wood is very developed, while the roots of the latter are not as good as it.

From the perspective of the juice contained inside

This aspect is more interesting. It is said that the liquid contained inside the Millennium Wood is colorless and transparent, while the inside of the Dragon Blood Tree is It has the color of blood, maybe that’s where the name “dragon’s blood tree” comes from.

In terms of lifespan

Many people think that the Millennium Wood must have a long lifespan, otherwise why would it be given such a name? However, this is not actually the case. Dracaena is a very long-lived tree that can live to be over 8,000 years old. But the lifespan of the Millennium Wood cannot be compared with it. So, it's very strange.
