    I agree with many of your commenters: your demo has several really key pointers the other dahlia topping videos I've seen miss altogether. Thank you so much!

    Great video and if you’re worried about rain after pinching at 18” a piece of tape over the hollow stem works well. Obviously that wouldn’t work to well if it’s only two workers and you have 2000 tubers but That rule also applies during winter if you dig your tubers and you cut them and left some in the ground tape or tin foil over the hollow stem so they don’t rot if you’re overly worried .Take it or leave it but I thought it was a good idea ! 😀

    90 jours pour refleurir après avoir coupé!!! On sera rendu au gel!!! 😂Au Québec , nous sommes des champions adaptés des variétés de température . 18 mai, mes dahlias sont encore dans ma petite serre... en juin , on va les sortir dehors, un vrai petit /grand miracle ! Après les premiers gels ( environ octobre) on déterre les rhizomes , on les met en dormance au garage chauffé à plus 10 dans des boîtes de bois avec de la perlite , ils y traversent l'hiver jusqu'au printemps... où ils recommencent à rebourger💚

    I am growing my dahlias for floral design. Would topping shorten the stem length. I do wand as many blooms as possible. Just need stem length as well. Thanks for the video

    • @jenacy
      @jenacy 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, it will not shorten the length / hight.
      If you want more flowers on your plant you really need to do this.
      I always cut the main stem and am always amazed at how many more branches come out with flowers. Just gorgeous.

    maybe a silly question, but could a little piece of buddy tape, or saran grafting tape on top of the stem hole help with rain problem? We get daily rains for half a year, don't want to kill the precious flowers... thank you.

    Thank you for very informative videos. I have overhead watering. How long after snipping do I have to wait to water. Does the hollow eventually seal

    • @SwanIslandDahlias
      @SwanIslandDahlias  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wait 24 hours to water and it will naturally seal itself!

    • @bookmarksbypatsy6104

      My MIL likes to put saran wrap over the part that was cut to prevent water from getting in the hollow stem. It works like a charm for her. I’ll have to try the same. Thanks for the great video and useful tips!

    when starting Dahlias early by putting a tuber or clump in a gallon container- and you accidentally knocked off the first tiny sprouts, will they grow back? :) I just subscribed! Thank you for teaching me. I'm in 9B

  • @lobsnbuns2705
    @lobsnbuns2705 ปีที่แล้ว

    My dahlia has side shoots coming out from each set of leaves already without the first topping, and all the side shoots seems to be growing , do I still top anyway? Thanks 🙏🏻

  • @Serendipity_Strawberry_Farm
    @Serendipity_Strawberry_Farm 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have a quick question which I haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere. I grew all of my dahlia from individual seed this year. Ever seed grew and has formed their own plant. Now I have found that 3 of my plants have 2 very different colours growing on their actual plant. One in particular is a bright red dahlia but on the same plant I also have bright single petal yellows. Does this regularly happen??? Many Thanks Theresa Australia

  • @joalpre4208
    @joalpre4208 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is there something I can use to cover the little hole that is opened when you topped your Dahlias??? If I have them already in my garden growing Dahlias and start to rain I can help my Dahlias little trees.
    What to do in my case with that little hole???
    Please someone help me by giving an advice.

    one of my dahlias is over 36 in tall do I need to go ahead and cut that one and what if they need water now do I water it at the root?

  • @megamaximpie
    @megamaximpie ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you squeeze the main branch you just cut off to prevent water from entering the hole?

  • @elviachauvin7291

    Does the hole in the stem close up after topping?

  • @simplymeairest2562
    @simplymeairest2562 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Yes, i need to do the topping asap. I hope they already reached 45 cm. I actually waited till they reach 40cm,since I referred to a german hobby dahlia grower and he pinches the dahlias when the plants are 40cm high=around 16inches. If i pinch the dahlias in this height, what will then happen? Will it affect the growth of the dahlias?

    • @SwanIslandDahlias
      @SwanIslandDahlias  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, but we would recommend waiting until they are about 20in tall. But it will not hurt them by doing them at 16 inches.🌸

  • @greatfullded
    @greatfullded 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    my feeling is alot of the videos pinch the dahlias when the stock on top is quite large that can hold water.. i think you should pinch it when the tip of the stock is just comming out and its relativly small to have the smallest hole at top

  • @loriculberson7886

    When do they bloom? Mine are about 3 months?

    • @SwanIslandDahlias
      @SwanIslandDahlias  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Most dahlias will be blooming, on average, 90 days after planting. The earliest blooming dahlias will be most of the Low Growing Dwarf dahlias and early blooming varieties, which will bloom approximately 75 days after planting. While the larger blooms (8" bloom size and larger) will take approximately 120 days from planting to bloom. The great thing with dahlias though regardless of when they start to bloom is that they will bloom through frost. However, this bloom time greatly depends on the growing environment including weather, deep watering, fertilizing, and overall care given.🌸www.dahlias.com/help-center/how-to-grow-dahlias/summer/

      Yes, this would be considered taking cuttings!

    • @TheNoliva
      @TheNoliva 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you dip them in rooting solution and wait to root? Dip in rooting gel and plant? Or do you plant directly in the soil without rooting help?
