Can dahlias survive the winter?

1. Can it survive the winter?

Dahlia is a summer flower and is not a cold-resistant plant, mainly because its root tubers cannot withstand freezing. It is difficult for it to grow normally in an environment below zero degrees, which will cause damage to the plant and may not be able to recover in the next year. However, as long as you are well prepared, you can safely get through the winter. Generally, after autumn, take cold-proof measures before the frost falls to ensure that the plants will not be frozen. Only by safely overwintering can it revive and grow again and bloom again the next year.

2. How to survive the winter

1. After autumn, the flowers will gradually wither, and you should be prepared to welcome the winter dormancy period. After the frost, cut off the main stem 10 cm above the root in the flowerpot, then pour out all the soil inside, pick out the claw-like tubers from it, bury them with moist sand, and then place them in a corner of the room. Ensure the surrounding temperature is around 5℃. If the temperature is too high, it will cause premature germination and affect flowering next year.

2. If you don't want to pour out the soil inside, you can cut off the top and place it in a sunny place indoors with the flowerpot, ensuring the temperature is 5-10℃. There is no need to water it too much. Keep it dry daily and water it 1-2 times. If you water it too much, it will affect the wintering.
