Here are some care tips for your Dahlia plant:
Light: Dahlias thrive in full sunlight, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Pruning: Pinching or pruning the growing tips of young dahlias can encourage bushier growth and more flower production. Remove spent flowers to encourage the plant to produce more blooms.
Soil: Dahlias prefer well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. They thrive in full sunlight but can tolerate partial shade.
Fertilizer: Dahlias benefit from regular feeding. Use a balanced fertilizer or one that is higher in phosphorus (the middle number) to encourage flower formation. Apply fertilizer at planting time and then periodically throughout the growing season.
By following these care tips, you can enjoy a stunning display of dahlias in your garden. Dahlias are popular choices for cut flower arrangements due to their long stems and vibrant, showy blooms.
