Planting Details
- Bulb Depth: Plant tubers 4–6 inches deep, with the “eye” facing upward.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper airflow and growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0).
- Sunlight: Needs full sun to thrive and bloom at its best, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot, dry periods. Ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging and root rot.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) when planting and again when the plants are about 6 inches tall for optimal growth and blooms.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around your dahlias free of weeds and use mulch to conserve moisture and keep the soil cool.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Watch for aphids and snails, which can damage the foliage and blooms. Use insecticidal soap or natural pest control methods.
- Diseases: Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases. Ensure good spacing for air circulation to minimize the risk of mildew and rot.
Harvesting
- For Blooms: Cut flowers in the morning when fully open but still firm, using a sharp knife or shears to avoid damaging the plant.
- For Tubers: Dig up the tubers after the first frost, allow them to dry, and store in a cool, dry place for the winter.
Storage
Short-Term: Blooms can last up to 7 days in a vase with fresh water. Long-Term: Store tubers in a cool, dry place (around 40–50°F / 4–10°C) for replanting in the spring.
