    What a valuable insight! It's wonderful that I've just learned this important tip about removing the mother tuber before storage. This can significantly improve my success rate of overwintering dahlia tubers. Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm sure many other viewers/subscribers will find this advice and video just as helpful. Thanks again & Happy gardening!😊🌸🌿

    Remove the mother tuber before storage, no one ever mentioned that and I always lost about 50 % of my stored tubers. Hopefully with this knowledge it won't happen this year. Thank you so much

    Excellent video as usual, and very timely as so many of us lost all our tubers last winter. Thank you Geoff. I didn’t know about removing the mother tuber. Looks like I’d better get some bonsai scissors.

    Really useful, thank you. I usually store mine in wood shavings in mushroom crates, but I'll try compost this year as I have lost a few through drying out.

    What should I do with the dahlia bulbs I ordered that already showed sprouting upon arriving to my home? Do I plant them and place them in the sun? Or put them in a pot to continue storage? Any help you can give would be great!

      I can only tell you what I do….. I pot them up and keep them in the greenhouse until they have 3 or 4 pairs of leaves. By then the danger of frost has passed and they are more able to survive a slug attack.

    When you say the temperature will go well below zero, is that Celsius? How low do you think that is on Fahrenheit?

      Hi, it can get up to -10 degrees Celcius here in England. It just varies from year to year.

      Seriously? Zero C is freezing, 100C is boiling point of water at sea level. In F those numbers are +32F and +212F.

    How cold does your winter temps get?

    • @Dahliaholic
      @Dahliaholic  Рік тому +1

      Most years it gets down to minus 7 or 8 Celsius. The year it went down to minus 15 I did lose a few, particularly those tubers that were close to the side of the box.

    I’ve overwintered Dahlias for the past 4 years and had no problems with any “mother tubers” rotting. This looks quite severe and un productive for regular gardeners. Having said that I bring mine indoors.
