How to plant dahlia bulbs

1. Planting time

Before planting, you need to choose a suitable planting time. Here, March to April in spring is the best.

2. Prepare the bulbs

If it is a single bulb, you can plant it directly without germinating it. But if there are a lot of bulbs, they must be germinated and divided first. First, choose bulbs that are not diseased, have strong roots and large bulbs. Then separate the places where their stems are connected. When dividing, be sure not to damage the root part of the bulb. Alternatively, you can wait until the germination is complete before dividing the entire bulb.

3. Prepare the planting site

Choose a loose, well-drained planting site, then dig some small holes on it and apply base fertilizer into them. The hole depth is normally between 10 and 15 cm. Then you can put the bulbs in, water it, and after the water penetrates in, cover it with 3 to 5 cm of soil and cover it with a film. But be sure not to damage the small buds when covering.

4. Post-maintenance

When first planting, just water it moderately, without adding fertilizer. Then after 10 to 15 days, the small sprouts will basically grow out, and then it is time to transplant it. When transplanting, the bulbs should be transplanted together with the sprouts, or the small sprouts can be divided and then transplanted. Then you can water it according to the season and provide sufficient light. It won’t take long for it to grow lush branches and leaves, and then after waiting for a while, it will bloom.
