Thank you for your excellent demonstrations on dahlias. I appreciate your clarity in explanations and good camera angles so we can see what to do where! Keep them coming - most of my dahlias are up in the outdoor garden and I'm keeping up with their "chores" from your videos!
Thanks for the ideas, I applied same to other plants especially the get-taller plants to stop getting upward, but spreading sideways instead. (Applied to Moringa plant and it does). Shoots on both side are coming out.
This is very useful advice as many people, including me, tend to be hesitant about topping dahlias. I've learned to think of it as grooming the beautiful thing. I mean it's not like you're sentencing Madame Dahlia to the guillotine...
How did you fit the tubers into those small diameter pots in the first place? Most of my tubers from last year wouldnt fit into such a small pot. I wish they would so I could start them there, and pack them close together until it was time to plant them in the ground.
They still grow high, but are not as "leggy" as they would be if you didn't top them. That is, they develop more bushiness, which eventually translate to more flower-producing stalks.
The word "dahlia" comes from the name of the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl (1759 - 1789). The name Dahl is pronounced "dah-l" (from Swedish "dal" meaning "dale, valley"; the letter h in the name is for decoration only). So either way, the pronunciation should be OK. One from the English "dale", the other from the Swedish word.

Thank you Sir, taught me precisely what I needed to learn!
You are really good at explaining your craft. I have learned so much from your videos and thanks so much...
Hi, do I need to do this with dwarf dahlias too or are they best left alone...great video, thanks for your help :)
You are the best teaching us how to take care a Dalhias! Thank You for your help. Can you tellme which king of soil do you use?

These are from bulbs, although we have done both. The trick with seeds is that you never know what color or shape they will turn out to be.

Excellent advice
Really nice video
hi ,are your Dahliyas grown from bulbs or from seeds?
Thank you!
Thanks Lance, very informative. I do have a question. Once you top (Large Dahlias) do the plants still grow to their normal height?
