    When stripping the lower leaves off dahlias, do you need to wait until they are a certain height. Mine are about 40cms high at present and they are looking quite bunched up at the bottom. I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

    Hello - This year is the first time I'm attempting to divide the tubers, In digging a clump up, I inadvertently sliced a chunk off a couple of them, but the other end is still attached to the clump. Will these be plant-able in the spring? Or should i toss them?

    • @TheFloweringFarmhouse
      @TheFloweringFarmhouse หลายเดือนก่อน

      If you sliced off part of the outer edge, you should still be ok. You need to let it dry out and then you can store the clump or individual tubers. As long as you still have the crown and eye on the other side, you should be ok
