How to Pinch Dahlias for More Blooms + Spotting Dahlia Gall // Cottoverdi

In this video, I’m chatting all about why and how we pinch dahlias to encourage bushier plants and loads more blooms later in the season. I’m also taking a closer look at dahlia gall—what to watch out for, how to identify it, and what to do if you spot it. I show lots of real-life examples from my own plants and cover everything you need to know so your dahlias get off to the best possible start.
