How to care for dahlias in winter

Preparations before winter

Pruning

Dahlias will gradually wither before winter, and the above-ground parts will completely lose their vitality. Flower lovers can simply cut off the withered branches and stems, usually six centimeters above the ground surface, and then move the entire flowerpot to an indoor environment with relatively higher temperature. This is the first step for dahlias to safely survive the winter.

Management after winter

illumination

Dahlias prefer semi-lit conditions, and their roots also need some sunlight in winter, so after pruning, it is best not to place the flowerpot in a completely shaded environment. Let the flowerpot receive partial sunlight, which will help germination more smoothly next year.

Moisture

Generally speaking, in winter, most flowers do not need much watering. For plants like dahlias that are afraid of drought and waterlogging, you can just water them a little in winter to ensure that the soil is not too dry or too hard. If you don’t know how to control the amount of water, it is recommended that you stop watering. Because the roots of dahlias have the function of storing water, not watering will not cause any adverse effects.

Storage

When preparing dahlias for wintering, you should also pay attention to the construction of the storage environment. It is not too complicated. Flower lovers only need to control the indoor environment not to be lower than 1°C. Generally, it is best between one and five degrees. Then, ensure that the indoor environment is dry and completely stop all watering.

The above are all the key points for its winter maintenance. Friends who like it don’t have to worry about its wintering.
