How to store dahlia tubers

- It’s October and we have got the first frost so now it’s time to dig the dahlia tubers up.
Here I’m telling how we winter store the tubers and I’m giving you some you useful tips.
My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.

If Claus says newspapers, newspapers it shall be. 😉🇨🇦
Right?.. if its good enough for Claus, its good enough for me too damn it.
Wonderful to wake up and see a Claus post :-)
I was also already waiting for another lovely video. :-)
Don't be alarmed if you find your dahlia tubers dried and shrivelled after Winter storage! This happened to me and I almost threw them on the fire (they were very dry!!) but instead, I soaked them in water for a few hours and replanted immediately. They grew and flowered prolifically, as if nothing were amiss. They were as good as ever - almost miraculously so.
I hope you will carry on showing us how you prepare your garden over the winter for spring to arrive. Thank you for all the information and allowing us to enjoy your garden x
After just the beginning of this video, I'm not only coveting your dahlias, I'm lusting over your moldy terra cotta pot collection. Now to go look up what 5-10 degrees Celsius translates into Fahrenheit. Thank you again for bringing us in o your stunning gardens and sharing your knowledge with us.
This made my day bahaha, lusting over moldy terra cotta! I too am guilty 😆
I think that it's multiply by 5, divide by 9 and add 32 to get F
For those of us who have emerged from the winter slumber to find our stored Daliahs rotten or dried up what I'm trying out this year is setting a monthly reminder on my phone to check on the dahlias. Hopefully I can catch any signs of decay early enough to take corrective action. Fingers crossed, there will be no surprises next spring. Bonne chance friends.
Such a good idea, going to do that right now. I've just spent the day putting Gladiolus to sleep my Dahlias are still blooming their heads off to my surprise Zone 5 🇨🇦 This is my first year over wintering corms and tubers. Bonne chance 😊
I Love Dahlia.🥰😍😊정원에 심어놓은 달리아가 예쁘게 피어나기만을 기달고있는중예요.괴경을 잘 보관해야겠네요~^^♡
Just subscribed! Found you via The Middle-Sized Garden UA-cam channel. :)
Thank you so much for this video. My community where I live is enjoying great warm enough fall right now so I will not pull my Dahlias until another week or so. This helps me to know exactly what to do with my Dahlia tubers. I’m a little nervous about their health while I put them away but I can only try. I’m a Newbie Gardener, just a year in. 😊
This is my first time planting Dahlias and they showed up and showed out! The yellow Kelvin Floodlight Dahlias are showstoppers! They light up my heart! Thanks again. 🙌🏽🥰
Thank you Claus. 💚 A timely, helpful video since I will soon be digging up my dahlias.
Thanks for sharing this process! I grew them for the first time and it’s now time to dig them out. I would have put them away without letting them dry and probably lost them all.
안녕하세요 반갑습니다
저도 내년봄을위해 구근식물들을 정리중입니다
며칠전에는 gladiolus 를 흙에서 캐내었습니다
Thanks for sharing ~^^
Such great information. I have always been too scared to store my dahlias in crates obver winter. I usually dry out the pots, nd store over winter that way. But now I have over 60 dahlias and I no longer have the space to store\the dahlias this way so will have to take them from their pots, dry off the soil and wrap my dahlias this winter. I will follow what you have taught us. Thank you again :-)
The pleasure is all mine - thank you for watching and good luck with your dahlias.
thank you :-)
I'm so happy you posted a new video since you haven't posted in few weeks. I forget you have huge garden and may need to winterize bulbs. I only have few dahlia bulbs which I grow them in pots and I just cut down the stalk and carry the pots into unfinished basement. In the spring, when it is time to wake the bulbs, I replace the pot with fresh soil and give them some light and water.
Have you lost any this way? I always wonder why people don’t just do that. I don’t have any Dahlias but if I were to grow any that is exactly what I would do.
Last year I used vermiculite that worked very well, no drying or rotting 😍😎🇫🇷
This is my first year I stored them in vermiculite. I checked on them a few days ago and they had mold on them. Do you know what I should do?
This was my first year growing dahlias and I thank you for this video! I now will be able to overwinter them and enjoy them for years to come!
So glad you showed to put them in a bin with holes or cut out sections in the plastic. Apparently they still need air.
Thank you for yet another how-to video. The last couple of years I have bought new tubers in the Spring but as usual you have inspired me, so today I will empty my dahlia pots 😃
Excellent tutorial Claus! You are so right, there are so many ways to store dahlia tubers. It all depends on your climate and more importantly the immediate environment for storage. My climate is humid but my house is on the dry side during the winter. Thanks for sharing!
Look forward to trying your newspaper technique. If you can show us how you prepare your gardens for winter would be great. Thank you.
Thank you for the video, Mr. Dalby. This is my 1st season to plant a handful of dahlias (about a dozen). I do like your technique of planting dahlias in pots and i think I will do the same next year. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us.
This was my first year too. I potted mine in pots but their growth was stunted so I'm thinking I need bigger pots. I'd love to take some from the pile behind him lol
@@StudioPashnada i know! Uniformity and simplicity is his style. I transplanted two cafe au lait into pots to move them to a sunnier area. Both did well although a foot shorter than one plant on the ground.
Thank you Claus, very helpful 😃
Thank you Claus. Always good to see a new video from you. My Dahlias took so long to bloom, I will have to start in pots next year. I was going to let them bloom til frost takes them, and then dig them. I will see if that works.
Beautiful!
Thank-you for brightening our days with your wonderful garden 🥰
Hello Claus from Sheffield England I am now an avid viewer of your posts. You have inspired me to make more if my front garden
I do not have any Dalias. I certainly will like some.
Thanks claus!! I will do this!!💕
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thank you Claus!
Thanks you for sharing my dahlias rotted last year, good information
Thank you Mr. Claus🌺💚🙃
Thanks for very good information 😍
Beautiful sharing dear ❤
Thank you Claus! I will try your method this winter.
Love to listen to you❤️
Thank you for the video!
Such beautiful flowers and great information! Thank you!!
Happy Autumn. I love that you mentioned you think about the dahlias blooming in summer as you are storing them for the winter. I think all gardeners are always dreaming of our next garden season. Happy gardening Claus.
Jak miło Pana oglądać 🏵️🏵️🌺🌺🌺
I have serious pot envy. 🌻🌺🌱❤️
Omg just love these videos claus is sooo sweet and love his passion for the flowers 💐
Fantastic video with quite helpful information. Thank you!
You have made me a believer in how well the concept of growing dahlias in containers work. Instead of digging them out of the ground it is soooo much easier to pop them out of their container, clean them up and store them. Brilliant! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have enjoyed your garden so much, I only wish that you would have posted more videos of your exquisite garden. 🌸 🌷 🌺 💐 🌸 🌷
It makes hardly any difference. You can almost pull them out by their stems anyways
Beautiful 😍 😘 👍
I'm doing the same thing this period of the year,thank you Claus,thank you very much 🥰🌿🌸🌿🌸🌿🥰
Hello and thank you for all your valuable advice. I live on Reunion Island and my region is very humid. I just started my dahlias of the year in pots. I hope the results will be good. The heavy rains of 2020 caused many tubers to rot. I will also keep them as you do, it's a great idea and a good recycling of the news papers! Good continuation.
Thankyou clause for a lovely video with simple easy to follow instructions and I loved your podcast with the get gardening
Great 🙏🏻🌸🪴
もうすぐダリアが終わる季節
やっとこちらも冬の気配
タイミングよくこの動画がみれてよかった

Just last night I was wondering when the next post would be.
Great tip and beautiful dahlias, as ever. I’d better start buying newspapers again!
❤
Claus, how do you check 1200 dahlia tubers? Also I'd love to hear about any new tubers you purchase!
Thank you, Claus I will look forward to seeing your beautiful Dahlias next year. It was lovely to have a clip of them.
I am just plucking up the courage to do the same with my dahlias but find it difficult to say goodbye to them for the winter. Many thanks for this encouragement
Tell me Claus, do you ever separate your tubers to multiple them? Some day I will have more!!
I’m wondering the same !
very informative!! how many tubers do you plant in one pot? And which pot size do you recommend? Thanks!
Hi Claus it’s me again will you be having more if your books published in English your container garden book is pre-ordered - can’t wait x
Is Claus okay? Just busy? Wondering in Virginia.
Could you tell me how many tubers go into what size pot? Also, when do you divide them? Thank you.
What do you do when you find out they are drying and shrivelling? Do you mist them?
After putting on the newspaper , do you spritz them with a little water every 2 to 3 weeks? Or just leave them be?
So if they are looking a little dry do you mist them or do something else? I wouldn't want them to get moldy either. First time I'm trying to store them.
Yes.
So I checked on my tubers a few days ago, and they were covered in mold. I am so sad because I do not want to lose all my tubers again. A few years ago I lost them to rot.
What do I do if they have mold on them? Do I have to throw them out?
Dear Claus, in your video it seems that you are dividing the tubers right after taking them out of the pots. Is this really recommendable? Up to this point, I had the impression that dividing tubers is something you do in spring time just before you put them back in the ground. Otherwise the risk of drying out would be too great.
Nevertheless, thank you again for this inspiring video of your lovely garden.
He did not divide them. It appears he had several different clumps in one pot.
Wait… who’s really looking after 150 varieties of dahlias over the winter every 3 weeks 😆😆😆
