Dahlia Plant’s Care Instructions:

Soil: Dahlias have an affinity for slightly acidic soil. So, if the soil in your garden is not acidic in nature, here’s a quick suggestion; amalgamate sand or manure to alleviate the soil texture.

Water: Young dahlia plants do not need a lot of water; in fact, excessive water can lead to rotting of the plant. For larger plants, a good rule of thumb is to water if the rainfall is less than one inch in seven days. Pots require more regular watering.

Fertilizer: The best strategy for fertilizing is to begin with a soil test to determine pH and the specific soil needs. Lacking that information, the plants will generally benefit from regular treatments with a water soluble or granular fertilizer. Traditional wisdom for dahlias is to treat with a high nitrogen fertilizer through the middle of the season but minimize nitrogen at the end of the season.

Sunlight: Dahlias demand ample amount of sunlight for healthy growth. Around 8 hours of blazing sunlight will lead to an enhanced blooming capacity of the plant.
