Dahlias Not Growing? What To Do (and How Often to Water)// Cottoverdi

If you’ve potted up your dahlia tubers and nothing seems to be happening yet, you’re not alone — and in many cases, it’s completely normal. In this vlog I show what to expect in the early weeks after potting up dahlias, how long they can take to start growing, and what to check if you’re concerned that nothing is happening. I also share how I water my dahlia tubers in pots, including how often to water and the common mistakes to avoid at this stage. Alongside this, I’m potting up my second delivery of dahlias for the season and sharing the varieties I’ve chosen this year.
