Choosing the Right Dahlia
Dahlias are large, showy flowers in many colors and shapes. For pots, choose dwarf or compact varieties. Pick healthy tubers or plants with firm stems.
Soil & Bed Preparation
They like rich, fertile, and well-drained soil. Mix garden soil, compost, and sand for aeration. Use deep pots (12–14 inches) for good root growth.
Sunlight & Placement
Dahlias love full sunlight — at least 6 hours daily. Place pots on balconies, terraces, or open gardens. Without enough sun, they produce fewer blooms.
Watering & Care
Water regularly to keep soil moist, especially in hot weather. Avoid waterlogging, which rots tubers. Mulch helps retain moisture and cool roots.
Tools & Support
Provide stakes for taller plants to support heavy flowers. Fertilize every 2 weeks with a balanced or phosphorus-rich feed. Remove side buds if you want bigger flowers.
Growth & Harvest
Dahlias bloom from mid-summer to autumn. Flowers last well when cut for vases. At the end of the season, store tubers for replanting next year.
