The appearance of the white bird is a round ball, soft to the touch, with dense white thorns, but they do not prick the hand, and the flowers it blooms are pink and purple. The silver fingers are long and thin, and the body is covered with yellow and white thorns. The thorns protrude from the gaps and prick the hand when touched. The flowers that bloom are light yellow.

Differences in appearance

The white bird looks like a ball and feels soft to the touch. The entire body is covered with dense white thorns, which are very short and very small. Although there are many thorns, they grow inward, so they do not prick the hand. It looks white from a distance, but the flowers are pink and purple. They are very beautiful when they bloom. Silver Finger, as you can tell from this name, looks like the shape of a beautiful woman’s finger, long and thin, with white thorns all over its body, some of which are yellow, and there are gaps in the thorns, but the thorns are protruding. Yes, it pricks your hands when you touch it. The flowers are light yellow and very beautiful.

Differences in soil requirements< /h2>

White Bird has a higher value and prefers finer soil. It is necessary to add 1:1 peat soil and perlite. If it is a new plant that has just grown or has just been transplanted separately, the soil should be softer so that it can 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. It doesn't matter if you mix in coarse sand or the like.

Differences in lighting requirements< /h2>

Both White Bird and Silverfinger like the sun, but their preferences are completely different. The white bird cannot be exposed to strong sunlight for a long time. It will lose water quickly, become limp, and stop growing. But the silver finger is not afraid of being exposed to strong light all the time. Instead, it likes the sun. You don’t have to worry about it getting burned. You can put it in a sunny place at will.

Watering requirements The difference

Both of them do not need a lot of water. Too much water will cause root rot and affect their growth. The soil in the pot should be kept relatively dry. When the temperature is below 2°C, the white bird will begin to hibernate. Do not water it at this time. When the temperature is below 5°C, you must protect the silver finger from cold and keep warm, and you must not water it.
