How many times a year do dahlias bloom?

1. How many times a year does it bloom?

Dahlia is a perennial herb, so it will bloom every year. The number of times it blooms in a year depends on the quality of cultivation. If it is well cultivated, it will bloom about three times a year, except for the dormant period, it can bloom all year round. If it is not well cultivated, it will only bloom once a year, and the flowering period is short.

2. How to breed

When growing it, you must first choose suitable soil. Soil with high air permeability, humidity and fertile soil is the first choice. It is a plant that likes semi-shade. It needs light at all times except when the sun is particularly strong. As for its demand for water, it does not need to be watered unless the soil is dry. Excessive watering will cause root rot. If it is a fruit-bearing variety, you should collect the seeds after each flowering and fruiting to prepare for the next planting.

3. Notes

1. Do not water too frequently and do not allow water to accumulate in the pot soil, especially on rainy days. Pour out the accumulated water in the pot. If the soil has become moist and lumpy, you need to change the soil.

2. Its root system is sensitive and delicate. Remember not to apply concentrated fertilizers, as concentrated fertilizers will burn its roots. This situation can be difficult to deal with, so try to apply thin fertilizers, such as humus fertilizer.

3. For dahlias that are not growing well, remove the flower core during their early stages to stimulate their growth. In July and August, they need to be pruned, and good quality flowers will grow after a month.
