REALLY appreciated the overhead angle you used with the camera to get in close to SHOW us what it looked like and how you were doing it. Excellent tutorial. I never have enough room for the dahlias I have, but I always love to try new things!
First Time visitor to this site-
One word describes this video.......PRECISE and one more word....TO THE POINT.
I do hope the OTHER vides will be of the same caliber
Very informative. You can never have too many Dahlias ❤️
Before I start any of your videos I am thinking "which joke will Erin have" didn't have to wait long this time! 😂😂😂I love your sense of humour! 😄 Greetings, Judit
I am so appreciative when people actually get my jokes. It doesn't happen all the time. :)
@@TheImpatientGardener I am looking for them and looking forward to them! 🤗😄
Great video, Surgeon Erin! 😂enjoyed your into bit. Very encouraging helpful video.
Good morning, Erin☕️ Loved the intro😂. Great explanation of cuttings! I think I can do this! Thank you! Have a Blessed Day 😊
Thank you, Erin! I love learning from you! 😊
Great demonstration and information!
Thanks for this. So inspiring. I've been watching Jason at Fraser Valley Rose Farm starting plants from cuttings, but he hasn't done dahlias. Such a great idea!
I started purple bell vine this year because of you. I found out that it only took them 5 days to sprout, by putting them on a moist paper towel in tupperware bowl by the window. I recently potted them so hopefully I can keep them alive 😂
This is very helpful! Thanks a lot for all the info.
I started a bunch of dahlias in March. Waiting to get them in pop up greenhouse. (Weather and wind.) One is already blooming in the pot in my sunny south window!
Thx Erin! I didn't know about cuttings for Dahlias. And you answered my question that they will produce tubers in turn! 😊
Great to know. I look forward to watching the progress of these!
This was news to me! I love it. Will definitely have a go at this this year. Thank you so much.
Nice👍👍❤❤
Another great video, Thank you Erin I am trying this this year
Thanks for a very good tutorial on how to do this. I am afraid I am being pulled into the world of propagation....always interesting and it's a great feeling when the cuttings grow!
So cool, I love this video.. lots of great info and inspiration to try it myself. I'm gonna say ,the tray looks like individual brownies to me 😅 I must be hungry😋. Happy Gardening 👩🌾
Great information. Really love the humorous beginning!
I just checked on all of my stored dahlia tubers yesterday and not only are they in really good shape, they are starting to sprout. So happy with my storage results. I am excited for the spring now.
Thank you!
Great tips Erin✨
That is so awesome. Although I have not grown many Dahlias it makes me wonder what else this technique would work with. I think I will try geraniums and coleus which so far I have succeeded in wintering over. Thanks so much. Always love you content.
Excellent tutorial Erin...thanks! 💚😊💚
Perfect time for this video. I am waiting forthe sprouts so I can do the cuttings.
Thank you for the terrific instructional video. I am growing dahlias for my 1st time. Please consider a follow up video comparing the success of each cutting method you showed. Did all 3 methods root the cuttings? Ty again!!!
Beautiful info and i'm doing it this year ! Thank You patient gardener
Great video Erin
Great information! The potting pods are making me hungry for brownies!😂
Great information! I might try this next year. ❤
Great up-close camera zooms for clarity! I've seen advice to cut the sprout right above the eye junction, while others say to cut low enough to get a little chunk of tuber with it....seems both work fine, but I am wondering about future regrowth. Will new sprouts still spring from the eye if you take cuttings more deeply?
You’re hilarious 😂loved that opening! Great tutorial! I’ve wanted to watch some do it for at least a year! Thank you for sharing your method! Some of my dahlia tubers are moulding in storage so I’m guessing I’ll need this to increase my stock! P.s. if you have any tips on what to do with moulding tubers, I’d love to hear them! Thanks and always a joy to watch one of your videos! 😊
Thanx for another great video! Love your sense of humor 😅 Very informative tutorial, never seen that growing medium before, gotta try! Exciting news about your upcoming garden design project! Will you be sharing more details? How’s the weather these days in your area? Any signs of spring coming soon? How about a pre-season warm up “wine & weeds” episode? 😊 happy gardening!
Great info! Thanks!
Great demo!! I used the root riot cubes last year and didn’t lose one - doing the same again in a couple weeks!
Wonderful, helpful video. I will try this technique this year. Great way to expand inventory and avoid disease. Georgie at Common Flowers Farm only grows transplants and discards old tubers.
The leaves are such a deep green!! Thank you for this great video and the sharp focus on the tubers and cuttings. What potting soil do you use? And on that note what seedling soil?
I use Organic Mechanic Container Blend whenever possible. Unfortunately it’s not the easiest to find here so I think this was just Black Gold by SunGro which is not my preference but at this time of year beggars can’t be choosers. The seedling soil is even harder to find here. I love Fox Farms Light Warrior but I couldn’t find that so right now I’m using Hoffmann (which I’ve never heard of before). Basically if I can’t find what I love I used whatever I can get other than Miracle Gro soil, which I don’t care for at all.
Hi Erin , so glad you picked this Dalia , I’m looking for it and can’t find it , Quebec Canada zone 5 🙁
I just ordered from Longfield Gardens
Erin,
Loved the corny intro--made me chuckle (I'm also a big fan of "Dad-jokes"). 😉
Hi Erin! Thanks to you and your videos, last summer was the first time I grew dahlias! It was a great success and I overwintered them in a refrigerator (no other cold storage). I've been trying to pre sprout them but now some are molding. Yuck! I live in an arid climate so mold is rare. What the heck am I doing wrong?
Great video Erin! Do you plant the root riot "thing" in the soil when you pot it up?? Thanks!
Yep ... leave it all in there. The roots will be fairly intertwined in it so it would be difficult to remove it. The website says the plugs are made from "composted organic materials" so I guess we assume there's nothing terrible that's going to be happening in your soil.
Hey Erin ! Love all your videos ❤ I was wondering if I can do this with dahlia plants is started from seed ? Before they make tubers ? I ordered florets and I want to stretch them as far as I can ! Thank you 😊
Great information! 💚💐 Random question: what kind of plant do you have on the shelf behind you? An airplane plant? It’s perfect in that terracotta pot!
Does the original tuber still produce flowers when you take cuttings?
Great question! Yes it will, but I'm finding that the timing gets a little tricky. So I will be able to continue taking cuttings from these as they produce shoots, but as I mention there is a limit to the number of cuttings you can take without depleting the tuber. At that point you need to plant the tuber, either in the ground (obviously way too early anytime soon in most places) or in a pot, which is also a push because my timing works out pretty well if I do that in mid-April, which seems like a long time away. I often just sacrifice the tubers when I do cuttings, because I find the timing difficult and because I usually have lots more tubers in storage anyway.
How early before planting these out should I take the cuttings?
you are too funny!
Dear Erin,
I have an important question:
I'm growing dahlias from SEED this season ( February 2024) we are frost free so i decided to go early.
My seedlings are doing extremely well and have developed 2 sets of true leaves. Is it possible to take cuttings in order to root them from seedlings as well 🌺🌺❓❓
I'm about to try
Hope the answer is yes..
Mishmish
Can i take all the cuttings off or leave some on the tubers to go into the ground. Ive always wondered about that. Amazing Video. Thanks.
Yep, you can leave some on and plant the tuber in the ground. The timing can be a little tricky on that but otherwise that’s an excellent way to do it
@@TheImpatientGardener Fantastic! Thank you ..
What is the name of the dahlia cultivar? I think you said HS Date?
Yes, HS Date. (The HS stands for Happy Single.)
How long does it take for a tuber to develop from the cutting?
There are signs of little tubers when the cuttings are ready to plant out and in most cases you should be able to dig and store tubers at the end is the first season
Eri , where can I find this dahlia tuber? From Quebec Canada zone 5
What's the name of the dahlia? H S date?
I looked up HS Date and it looks like it's still under patent for another year... The original patent was filed in June 2005.
It's all good to propagate patented plants for your own use. Plus it's no different from dividing tubers (or dividing a perennial, for that matter).
@@TheImpatientGardener that's not true... It's not legal to propagate patented plants for personal use. The question is whether the patent owner will prosecute you or not. Realistically it's not worth the time and cost to go after people propagating for personal use. They're only going to go after growers.
Jason from Fraser Valley Rose Farm has a good video on plant patents.
Erin , I did not get the name of this dahlia .
This one is HS Date. HS stands for "Happy Single."

Fascinating! Thanks for the demonstration. I saved last year’s dahlias so I’m going to try! 🫣
