Hi Everyone,
In todays video we are going to be talking about Dahlia care and maintenance. I will teach you how to fertilize, pinch, and staking your Dahlias. I planted just a little over 100 tubers and was able to give some to family and friends. 🥰 I've left 30 in our Dahlia plot and the remaining ones in containers will be planted into the landscape. If you missed our first video on planting tubers, I will link that video down below. I've also linked the products used in todays video, including what I use for pest control. If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you so much for watching todays video. 💚

I’m so happy that you share all your experiences with your Dahlias. My first year to grow them, I had no idea you were supposed to nip them back. They were all over the place!!! I couldn’t find anything long enough to hold them up!!!
All of your advice has made my plants so much easier to handle. The blooms are so magnificent, I can’t even think of not growing them now!!!
Thank you so much for all your help, I appreciate you so much!!!❤️❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸
It's ridiculous how gorgeous your flowers are.
You’re too sweet! Thank you. 🥰
I am doing some research for a article and stumbled across your video. One the best no nonsense, no fluff videos I have seen on RUclips. Thank you
I feel more confident about pinching them now. Thank you!😊💮
I use tomato cages for my dahlias. Easy way to contain them as they get bushy after pinching. A little more expensive, but reusable every year and little maintenance. Probably too expensive if you plant 100, but for the ‘usual’ gardener, doable.
I’m so excited about your dahlias. I would love to have a dahlia garden like yours. I want to see them in bloom now. 😘
Great video and great garden! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you for sharing the tips with us.
Thank you for this video. Great thing to know.
I love this pinching off advice
Thank you! I’m happy this was useful, trust me it makes a big difference. 😍
Very helpful.. thank you!
Aww, thank you Dee!! I’m so excited for this year’s dahlias. 💕
Very good. Thank you..
Thanks for the video helpful
Love your channel, your explain very well
Thank you 😊
Loving your work 😊👍
Thank you so much for the support Steven. 💕
I just started planting some of my ordered tubers in late April.. I'm excited to learn more from u!!
That so exciting Cristina!! You'll love them. What zone are you in?
Thank you great information 👍🏼
I’m so happy this video was helpful. 💞
im excited on my tubers 🤗
Yay! I'm excited for you too!
🌿🌺🐝HELPFUL🌿
Yay!! I hope you’re planting some this year. 💕
I saw your david austin juliet 😍❤♥
I planted dahlias for the first time this year directly from the bulbs. It seemed to take forever for the plant to produce buds. I did not trim but did stake them . when they finally did bloom, I was blown away at the size of the flowers. Unfortunately, a gusty rain storm came through and snapped the plants in half. I was devastated . Be sure to stake these plants well as they cannot withstand any type of wind. I will try again next year and will probably trim them as described in this video.
Its heart breaking when the snap like that from the wind. 🥲 I agree, staking is so important, and by pinching them you'll have a bigger and more robust plant.
Hi! I just discovered dahlias and I’m so excited to see them grow in my garden in South FLA! I’m so happy I found your channel! I just planted 5 plants so how do I measure the right amount of fertilizer for only a few plants? Thanks so much!!
Nice
Thank you. 🥰
I grow cannabis and am just starting to do actual flowers like dahlias. The ‘pinching’ method you do we call ‘topping’ or ‘lollipopping’. Just different terminology and it’s cool to see what else it’s called. Thanks for the info 💜💜💕💕 great video!
Oh wow! That’s so interesting. I’ve also heard it being called the Chelsea chop. It’s interesting to see how different worlds collide and is related in some way. I’m happy you found this video helpful. 🥰 I love that you’re coming into the flower world, what made you do that?
@@InTheGardenWithClaudia Never heard that one either! I’m taking time off from work (commercial cannabis gardening) to take it easy. So with none of that at the house, I swapped to these lovely ladies! And thanks for the tip on low nitrogen, my usuals love it so I’m gonna hope Ocean Forest Foxfarm Soil isn’t too hot for them.
How long after pinching can you resume overhead watering ? Or is it never again.
Thanks so much for this video. I love how you were straight to the point!
Nvm I see you said 24 hours 😳
Thanks for the tips
Exactly 🥰 It doesn’t take too long for the cut to develop a seal inside the stalk.
Hey girl, I love your video. You explained things perfectly and to the tee. I just started growing dahlias. 😎 I have two. Many many other plants though. Thanks for the knowledge. I love to learn too!!
Aww thank you Lisa!! You’re going to get hooked growing them. I’m always here if you need any tips or advice. 🥰
You inspired me to actually plant dailies in my garden vs potting. I pot them bc I'm zone 6 ,so winters are way to harsh here to leave in ground. So Im able to just bring them in bc of pots. My biggest issue is those nasty brown spots, that appear on my leaves. I literally do not over head water ever. I heard to put them on drip bc they respond better. So I have ideas on running it through a rain water catch basin I want to design. Could u lmk what your experience has been with any spots on the leaves? I use organic anti fungal methods and my theory is plants survived without us so do they really need us to fertilize often? I prefer not too. I've purchased a couple dailies with brown spots btw it was intentional, and I fixed the plants with care. Not sure what worked bc I did various things. I've had 1 semi cactus dahlia for 3 years this may. it's a beautiful purple she's survived plenty and she's already shooting stems (it's feb)and leaves due to my grow light n dehumidifier. Anyway any help or knowledge would be super. Thanks so much.
So beautiful ❤️ lmay i asked why you buried the pot as well? Thank you
Aw thank you. I didn't bury them, those are just edging. 🥰
I'm also in Oregon and we have two coming back from last year that were planted and died after the huge frost storm we had here..I never knew about all these steps and we had many blooms but that thing aboit making it more bushy is such a great tip and I had no idea although scares me!! Haha
Aww yay we are neighbors then lol. That’s so exciting, it’s always nice when they come back. A lot of our other plants suffered from the storm, but luckily all the favorites survived. If you’re not too far, you should visit Swan Island Dahlias this August, they have beautiful fields of dahlias. 🥰
@@InTheGardenWithClaudia Yay! Hahaha. That sucks but luckily you have your faves. And I've never heard of that place I need to Google it and check it out with my family. My mom loves them so much and the reason they're in the garden hehe. 😉🥰
So this is the third year I have grown dahlias. I’ve talked to you before about how you get them to stand up!!!!
Well you directed me to this video, on pinch back!!!
Some I’ve already pinched back this season and did the others today!! It was supposed to be a dry day but wouldn’t you know it, we had a down pour!!! I was running around trying to find buckets to put over all my freshly pinched dahlias!!! All were saved! My question is, how long should they stay dry, after pinching?
Really good question! If you look where you picked them, you will see they form a thin layer of tissue over the cut. Honestly three days after they should be fine, at least that’s been my experience.
You must have a really good size yard! Didn't realize that you had over 100, plus all the other things you grow - wow!
When we were raising Dahlias we had over 1,000 diff varieties planted on over 300 hills. We would take 6ft length of 2" PVC pipe & w/ a post hole driver pound them into the ground about 1ft. We would then plant at least 2 Dahlias per stake (smaller plants sometimes 3-4 plants). The reason we liked the PVC pipe is that we could drill a hole at the top end to run a wire thru each hole w/ a tag of the Dahlia name name on it. My Grandparents & Grandparents used to use wooden poles/stakes - I think the reason my Dad moved us to PVC (back in the 90's) is for the fact it didnt rot as easily (for we still have tons of them stored behind the shed 12 yrs after his passing - but hey, they came in handy when planting up the ones you sent me!😉).
Btw...we always liked the green jute (twine) cause it blended into the greenery of the leaves & pretty much disappeared after you tied them up. I still use on our lilies, clematis, ect - whatever needs tying up. Guess I'm a creature of habit! But I do remember my grandparents Dahlia gardens & they always had lots of the natural jute on hand.
Can't wait to see yours all bloomed out! I so miss our fields & beds of color every year (plus all the floral arrangements I could make w/ them), but I definitely don't miss all of the hard work that came w/ raising that many!!!!🤪
Wow! You are just a wealth of knowledge, I should’ve has you featured in the video. 😂 I love that you have so much experience and knowledge, it really puts ideas and techniques into perspective for me.
I wish you guys still had the fields too, I’m sure it was just stunning. I hope the ones you won in our giveaway brings your a little piece of memory of you and your family from those days. 🥰🥰🥰
We have a good size yard, but I am dreaming of the next home and a lot of land I hope we can buy in the future. 😍 I would love nothing more then to grow fields and fields of flowers... for what, who knows? I love making arrangements for friends and family. 🥰
@@InTheGardenWithClaudia well on Dahlias anyway😅
Very lovely, yet unusual looking, garden. Why do u plant your dahlias in pots?
Hi Pam, I’m sorry I didn’t see your comment. We are transforming our entire garden, so there’s a lot of plants that needed and still need to be dropped in the ground. 😀 Also, I planted over 100 dahlias, some were to give away in containers to family, friends, neighbors and some were in containers because I started them early and wanted transfer them into the landscape. 😊
Thanks for the info! Got a question, I’ve seen tips on how to get the most blooms, but is there a way to get the biggest blooms??!! Also, what do you recommend for getting rid of the root grubbers without damaging your plants in the process? Snails/slugs & millipedes are my biggest offenders.
Hi Jeannie, I am happy this video was helpful. 🤗 So yes and no because it can depend on the variety of Dahlia you have. In general, make sure they are planted in a space large enough for them to be able to grow to their full size. For example, you wouldn't plant a dinner plate variety in a container, because it wouldn't have enough space to grow to its full potential. BUT in the past when I have left my dahlias alone and not pinched them off, they did produce bigger blooms, but fewer of them. So you could potentially have bigger blooms when you don't pinch them off. This best thing to do, is buy the dinner plate varieties, because those are huge. 😍
I would recommend Sluggo. I have a link to it in the description box. I swear by that stuff.
In general millipedes feed on decaying organic matter, so don't leave any leaves or stems laying around. Bonide also has a product called Insect and Grub Control you could try in your garden. Let me know if you have more questions. 💕
Coast to Coast Home and Garden, sweet! Thank you so much for your expertise, I bought a huge variety of dinner plates this year from Eden Bro’s, super excited to see them blossom! I’m gonna buy your recommendation, thanks again!

Your flower bed is so pretty. do you sink your pots in the ground? or is that edging around the dahlia's
I’m very curious about this to. If they are pots, why?
She mentioned in another comment that it's just edging around the plants, not sunken pots.
"...they are just rings i use to outline the areas I plant them."

What do you use circling you dahlia plants from the wood mulch?
It’s just plastic edging. 😊
What brand do you use and where do you get it. Thank you
Can you root the top portion and grow a plant from it?
Like propagate them? If that's what you mean, then yes.
Question on the fertilizer you used...
Two gallon container, two tablespoons of fertilizer per one gallon. So four tablespoons no? Why so many capfuls. It looked like you used 6 or maybe more? Does the bottle say the number of capfuls that make a tablespoon?
Thank you 😊
Good question! I am out of town, so I don’t have the bottle in front of me. But if you read the instructions on the back, it gives you the correct measurements based on your space. I may have used a little more on accident on this video. 🫠
When should I start fertilizing my dahlias on a regular basis. They’re 4-8” tall now. I’ve pinched them and fertilized them once with fish fertilizer.
I usually do my first feeding a month after planting them. Don’t forget to pinch them when they’re about 12 inches tall. 🥰 Let me know if you have any other questions.
How many times you fertilized the dahlia..I just found your channel by the way..
Aww hi Rose!! I’m so happy you found my channel. So I fertilize my dahlias every three weeks. They aren’t super heavy feeders, and I have found that using the Mor Blooms worked well, and it was recommended by a dahlia grower to me. Let me know if that helps. 🥰 Are you growing dahlias this year?
What if my dahlia has already grown and the root is laying down? It is growing upward however. Also, is it too late to pinch?
Sorry I missed your comment Carla. Even it they are over a 12 inches, I'll pinch them.
Hello just wondering is it ok just to plant dahlia in the pot?
Hi Rose, yes it is. I have a video on planting Dahlias, and I mention planting them in containers. Here is the link, let me know if you have questions. 💕 ruclips.net/video/9vcNMbrjjfU/видео.html
I live in an area with a very short 90 day frost free garden season - I was just wondering how long piching sets them back? Id like to try this but Im worried it'll delay the blooms too long for my short season??
I have my first ever dahlias coming in the mail & I'm so excited!
Yay! That is so exciting!! It might push them back a couple of weeks, which isn’t too bad. Honestly, I’ve skipped pinching before and I still got a nice plant, but pinching does give you more blooms and a bigger plant all together. Pinch right when it’s about 12 inches if you decide to.
what mulch do you use?
It really depends, but mostly we buy bulk from a local place.
Is miracle grow regular or for roses ok to use for dahlias?
Tammy, I'm sorry I missed your comments. In general, I like to use More Blooms fro dahlias. however, I have seen people use Miracle Grow on dahlias, but I would probably only feed them once with it in the beginning of the growing season, then move to something with low nitrogen. 🥰
What about shorter dahlias? Should they be pinched earlier?
I just wait until they are about 12 inches tall. 🥰
Can I feed dahlia before flowering
I typically feed mine a month after planting with the Mor Blooms fertilizer that I have linked in the description.
How old do the dahlias have to be to fertilize with morbloom fertilizer?
I typically wait 3-4 weeks after planting.
What can do Dahlia plant grafting ?
I don’t know much about grafting Dahlias. I feel like grafting would not work because they are hallow but you can cross breed/cross pollinate to breed new varieties. 😊
Make a video on it What is the complete method of cross-polishing or reply to a video link Thank you
Hi, my dahlia is turning yellow from the bottom up, isn't that a sign of lacking nitrogen? If I feed it with Morbloom low to zero nitrogen, wouldn't that be treating the problem at the opposite way? Please advise, thanks.
Are the leaves turning yellow? I would not recommend giving them nitrogen, if anything I would do iron instead. Sometimes they’ll yellow do to a lack of magnesium or iron. Try adding iron to them, and see how that does, sometimes it a process of elimination, but I strongly believe that could be the issue.
@@InTheGardenWithClaudia Thank you for your reply. Yes, the leaves are turning yellow. I will try give them iron as suggested. Where do I buy iron from, on Amazon? Do you think this is a good one to try? www.amazon.com/Botanicare-CAL-MAG-Plant-Supplement-Formula/dp/B004JKBMRW/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=iron+for+outdoor+plant&qid=1626831440&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyOUNSMFlZQ1QyMkczJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDkyNTI5M1RROU84OUJITktYRSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzUxOTMxOThMOURBSlpGRUhIJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Also, I wonder if I have been watering it too much? I water it everyday, could that be a possible reason why the leaves are turning yellow? Many thanks:)
I’m always here to help, so always reach out if you have questions. I think that one will be fine. You should definitely back off on the watering. Dahlias do like a wet feet but they like deep watering as opposed to every day watering. I would try to back off on the watering and only water 3, maybe 4 times a week for a longer period of time.
@@InTheGardenWithClaudia Ok, will do. Thank you for your suggestions.
How long is safe after pinching them off before it rains on them?
I try to pinch when I know we won't have rain for a few days.
How often do you fertilize?
Usually once every few weeks. Sometimes if I see they are lagging, I’ll up it, but usually once every 3 weeks is good for us.
I pinched off and never got flowers so now I’m not sure I should Again. Do you have any idea why this happened. They were very bushy and lush but no blooms.
Oh no!!! I’ve never heard of that happening. How many did you pinch? How tall were they?
Possibly high nitrogen fertilizer or in soil affects growth and usually no blooms 😢
How do I get rid of ants on dehlias
Do your dahlias have aphids? Aphids leave a sweet dew on plants and that’s what attracts the ants. If you see aphid action, get rid of them first, and you shouldn’t have any issues with ants. I have a video on what I use to get rid of aphids. 🥰
Are your dahlia planted in pots sunken into the ground?
No, I know they look like that, but they are just edging around the plants. 🥰 Although if you've watched recent videos, you see we've completely renovated the cut flower garden.
You have gophers? Why the inground pots?
I know it may look like they’re pots, but they are just rings I use to outline the areas I plant them. 😊
Have you planted these staked dahlias in pots and then in the ground?
I did have several in containers but the ones in the ground I started in the ground. But if you have any in pots, you can transfer them to the landscape if that’s what you’re talking about. 🥰

something has eaten all the flowers & leaves of my dahlia.
Really!? Oh no, it could be cucumber beetles? Have you noticed them in your garden?
Oh that first clip was painful
Soooo painful! 🥹
U look more beautiful than flower
Good info, but too many "uh/um" sounds. I enjoyed it anyway.
Sorry I missed this comment. Thank you Darlene- ugh its nerve wrecking but I feel like I am improving. 🥰
