Last Updated: 2024/11/22, Dahlia is very popular because of its rich colors, large flowers and simple cultivation. The following introduces a cultivation method of dwarf Dahlia for your reference: dwarf Dahlia is mainly propagated by cutting. The stem segments with 2 to 3 buds (stem nodes) were cut from June to July for cutting. Cutting substrate should be well breathable, non-stagnant materials, such as perlite, vermiculite and so on. When cutting, first insert a hole in the substrate with a thin bamboo stick equivalent to the cutting base, and then put the stem into the hole.

Dahlia because of its rich color, large flowers, simple cultivation, deeply loved by people. The following is a description of a dwarf dahlia cultivation method for your reference:

Dahlia dwarfiana is propagated mainly by cutting. Cut stem segments with 2 to 3 buds (stem nodes) from June to July for cuttage. Cuttage substrate to use good ventilation, no ponding material, such as pearlite, vermiculite and so on.

When cutting, first insert a hole in the substrate with a thin bamboo stick equivalent to the cutting base section, and then put the stem section into the hole. Cut 1/3 to 2/3 of the leaves from the cuttings to reduce evaporation. Then slowly soak the cutting substrate with water, so that the substrate can be in good contact with the cuttings. Place the cutting bed in shade. During the period can not be watered too much, generally inserted after half a month can take root.

After the cuttings take root, slowly pry them up and transplant them into small pots with a diameter of 20 to 30 cm. Basin soil must be well drained, first put a layer of coarse soil particles at the bottom of the basin, and then mix 3 parts of rotten leaf soil, 6 parts of fine soil, 1 part of base fertilizer (broken pig manure, bone meal, etc.) as basin soil. In cultivation, attention should be paid not to damage young roots. After planting, put them in shade, maintain water supply and pay attention to ventilation. After half a month to one month, when the plantlets grow to 15 to 20 cm high, they can be moved to a sunny, ventilated place and watered once a day in the morning.

During the growth period of plants, farm liquid fertilizer can be applied 1 to 2 times in 1 to 2 weeks. When the plant grows too high, the terminal bud can be removed to promote lateral bud germination and reduce plant height. In flower bud formation, can increase the number of topdressing appropriate, generally 1 to 2 times a week topdressing (more phosphorus, potassium fertilizer, less urea).

During the curing process, it is necessary to maintain sufficient sunshine and good ventilation. After more than 2 months, a pot of dwarf dahlia is cultivated and survived.
