Hannah | Maple Lane Farmstead on Instagram: "How I simplify dahlia tuber dividing:  I make sure to leave EYES on all my tubers. This makes them viable for next year!   And how do you learn/get better at dividing? By practicing. I’ve been doing this now for 4 years. It’s easy for me, now. But first I had to learn by lots of trial and error.  You can do this!

Kim | Busy Bee Farm & Florals on Instagram: "Here is part 1 of a real-time dahlia tuber divide. I will try to post some more videos in real-time as this is a request I get often and it seems there is a lot of interest. I know watching videos of others dividing their dahlias is what gave me the confidence to try it myself. I hope this is helpful to even one person! If you’re curious why I snip the root end off of our tubers, the dahlias don’t need this to grow the following season and it is an opportunity for me to check for rot. Also, I have thousands of tubers to store, so anything I can do to save space really helps 💞 #dahlia #dahliagrower #dahliatips #dahliastorage #dahliatubers #dahliagarden #beginnergardener" Dahlia Landscaping Ideas, How To Divide Dahlia Tubers, Dahlia Storage, Dahlia Planting, Hawaii Garden, Dalia Flower, Dahlia Flower Garden, Dahlia Care, Dahlia Garden

Kelly Welk on Instagram: "I know it sounds ridiculous, pinching! 🤣 the first time an old timer, told me to do this with our Dahlias I thought he was crazy. Cut the top of the plant off? How in the world could that help it? There is actual science behind this! When certain plants are pinched, it sends them into a survival mode and it causes them to come back stronger and produce more flowers. These two shoots they send up will put on double the amount of blooms. 🥳

Now disclaimer, this method doesn’t work for all flowers just some like dahlias, zinnias, snapdragons, sweet peas, larkspur, salvia…and herbs too like Basil and Mint

If you have planted Dahlia tubers this year, go see how big the plant is. If it has three leaf sets, then it’s time to pinch it!
