Dahlia is a kind of flowering plant with large and colorful flowers, which is somewhat similar to the peony when it blooms, which also reveals the noble and generous temperament. And because of this, in the eyes of many people, Dahlia is also a symbol of great wealth. In addition, this kind of flower plant has a long flowering period and is resistant to ornamental, so many potted friends plant it as a potted plant.

Dahlia is a kind of flower plant with underground root, which belongs to bulbous flowering plant. Therefore, in terms of reproduction, we can usually directly use its bulbs to reproduce seedlings. This has been shared by the editor many times in many previous articles. So, can dahlia be propagated by cuttings?

In fact, dahlias and many flowers and plants, in the case of meeting certain conditions, can also be propagated by cutting means to propagate potted seedlings. And compared with the method of bulb propagation, cutting propagation of dahlia also has its own advantages. And these advantages are even incomparable by planting balls.

Dahlia is poor in cold resistance, original or even not cold-resistant, so the aboveground parts will die after winter. On the other hand, the underground root will gradually go into dormancy due to the influence of low temperature, and the bulb needs to be preserved scientifically throughout winter, so as to ensure that it can take root and sprout in the coming year. Not only that, the use of bulbs to grow dahlias, in the spring often need to promote its germination through germination treatment, so as to improve the survival rate.

Compared with cutting methods, the propagation process of Dahlia using bulbs is relatively complicated, and the survival rate is usually not as high as cutting. Therefore, Dahlia propagates seedlings by cutting, which is not only easy to operate, but also has a high survival rate. Therefore, we generally recommend the way of cutting to breed Dahlia potted seedlings.

The cuttage of Dahlia had better be carried out in the spring and summer when the temperature is relatively high and the weather is relatively warm, because its cold tolerance is relatively poor, and the survival rate is easily affected by freezing when the temperature is too low. The best cutting time should be from June to August in summer, as long as we cut according to the scientific method, the survival rate is very high.
