Follow only a few rules to enjoy successful cultivation of dahlia. This thermophilic plants can be planted in the garden only after mid-May when they are no longer threatened by late frost. Forcing, planting tubers in pots at home to obtain strong seedlings, is a recommended cultivation shortcut. From March on, you can plant dahlia tubers in pots in bright and warm rooms. Transfer well-developed young plants to the garden mid-May. Dahlias are sensitive to water shortages and require constant moderate humidity. Organic fertilization, which dahlias like very much, stimulates flower production. Dig out dahlia tubers out of the ground before winter. Clean them gently and store until spring in containers filled with peat, sawdust or sand. The room should be dry and cool, with stable temperature between 5 and 8⁰C.
