How to plant dahlias, by the dahliaguy.com

Tips, Tricks

1. Thank you!  I didn't know I shouldn't water them.  I've probably rotted a whole bunch of these things in the past!  :-)
2. My stick is only 15 and three quarter inches long is it still safe to plant?
3. Thanks for the great information! I had to laugh about the plant should know which way is up or down. My tubers have no eyes. Thanks again!
4. The little "white balls" are fertilizer. They are time released (actually, temperature activated released). It is best to use a low nitrogen fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer. WalMart sells two Miracle Grow types that look the same--but they are not the same. Use the one with the dahlia flower on the front--it has lower nitrogen.
5. What is the little white balls you put in the ground? Is that plant food? What brand did you use?
6. thank you so much for up-loading all this tips...Greetings from Portugal!
7. I'm a dahlia noobe and all your video's have been very helpful! Thanks for the schooling.
8. Thanks for another interesting video. I would like to know more about the fertilazer. I am reading conflicting info on food for Dahlias. Some sites say low nitrogen, others high. Also how are you storing your tubers over the winter? Thanks for taking the time for such great videos.
