I enjoyed your video! Which city are you in? Is it similar climate to Toronto(Canada)? My tubers didnt make it through the winter. I had them in peat moss in paper bag in a cardboard box in the garage. They shrivelled up. I will buy dhalia tubers and plant them again and try your method.

So sorry your's didn't survive the winter! We stopped using cardboard boxes for our storage because they allow all the moisture to leach out of the tubers. It's why we started using the plastic totes with the fine wood shavings. The wood shavings keep the moisture balance in the tote while the tote itself keeps the moisture in. Storing tubers is such an individual climate, individual storage area thing to sort out. We'll keep sharing dahlia videos thru the season!
