Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 гру 2024
- Dahlias are an increasingly popular cut flower to grow- grown by both beginning gardeners + seasoned flower farmers alike...
And for good reason!
Dahlias are beautiful, prolific and relatively easy-to-grow.
The magic of dahlias is that you can continue to have dahlia tubers for many years to come if you learn to care for them properly.
In this video, I plan to share with you how with a little time + effort (and a healthy amount of patience), your initial investment of dahlias can reward you with blooms for years to come. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving!

Thank you for your videos. Love them 😊After six years growing Dahlias here in Norway. Whats work best for me is to store them ,cleaned of dirt, in newspaper, in a paperbag. About 8 dg celsius. Devide them in spring. Work 100 pr.sent.for me.
Thanks for sharing! Love hearing about your process!
Great video. It's been too long. You are appreciated, and your videos looked forward to. Stay well and remain positive. I garden in northcentral Indiana.
You’re absolutely right, it has been way too long! I appreciate your kind words and wish you well! ✨😊
So great to see a video from you!
It’s been a while! So grateful for you tuning in!!
Over the past four years Ive stored majority in clumps covered in their dirt. Mixed results; this year I grew half the amount and limited varieties to 9. I’m going to try to divide in the fall and store in bins this year. Usually I’m so burned out this time of year
I can 100 percent relate to that feeling of overwhelm this time of year! My motto is to do what you can and don’t stress over the rest.. it will all work out!
i love this step by step tutorial sending greetings from Poland :))
Awesome! And wow, Poland! That’s so cool! 👋👋✨💜
Amazing video!
Thank you for watching! 😄🌷
Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us!! We appreciate you!!!!
This is such a sweet comment! Thank you for tuning in! We appreciate YOU as well ✨💜
TY so much for the camera close to tuber and your hands so we could really see. Question. I have sprouts on some, I noticed on yours also. What happens to the sprouts? Thanks and so so good to see you. Love to hear how Mums went this year
It’s alright if the sprouts get knocked off during the dividing and/or storing process.. they’ll resprout when planted! For this video, I did allow the sprouts to get nice and to hopefully make it easier to see the eyes on camera :)
Do you put the lid on the sterlite containers?
Yes I do. I’m careful to monitor my tubers throughout the winter and if I see that too much condensation is forming in the containers, I’ll often remove the lids to keep the tubers from rotting. Good luck!
How long do you let the cuts cure.before you store them?
I typically wait only a few hours between dividing and storing
Good question. Thanks. Wonderd about that to.
My most successful methods of storage are paraffin and saran wrap.
So cool! Appreciate you sharing your process!
How do you employ the paraffin? TY
