How to care for your Dahlia

Use these instructions to care for an Dahlia. This guide will tell you how to water an Dahlia; its light, temperature, humidity preferences and any additional care it might need to help it grow.

Dahlia Dalaya Fireball

Light

Dahlias will grow best in full sun, where they can receive at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight.

Water

Provide your Dahlias with plenty of water as they do not like to dry out completely; water just before the soil is dry. During hot and dry times, more watering may be required, and during rainy times, less watering may be needed.

Food

Fertilize once a month using a liquid fertilizer or add a slow-release fertilizer to the soil according to instructions.

AdditionalCare

If you notice your Dahlias starting to get leggy or stretched out, feel free to trim the flowers and foliage back to promote growth. They will branch out and rebloom as a result. Be sure to fertilize regularly.
