TAKING DAHLIA CUTTINGS | PROPAGATING DAHLIAS | GROWING & MULTIPLYING DAHLIAS | FLOWER FARMING

Published 2020-05-01
In this video I am taking cuttings from dahlia tubers in order to create more plants. Plants that we produce from cuttings are an identical clone of the parent tuber and are said to produce more vibrant colours than the mother plant. Please ask any questions you may have.

    Best video I’ve seen yet that clearly shows how much of the tuner to cut with the shoot. I’ve watched probably 10 other videos an was still left wondering how much I should cut. Nobody gets a close enough look for us to get a clear look. Thank you so much!
  • Wonderful as always. This is an older video, but still relevant and very clear. Thanks again!

    Really great video, I’ll be taking dahlia cuttings for the first time this year.

    Liked and subscribed. Lovely channel 😊👌💞🌹💐
  • I'm in New Zealand and mine are just beginning to sprout. I was planning to take cuttings but I've never done it before. Your video is easy to follow so thank you.
  • This is the first time I see this method. I am familiar with the tuber division technique, where you separate the tuber "fingers" while leaving at-least one "eye" (bud) at its tip. Sadly, I was never able to see where that eye is, and I mostly got a tuber that rooted and then shriveled and died.
  • I wish I had watched this video when you made it and known to do this. Now I wonder if it's too late in the year to take a cutting and for it to produce flowers or tubers for me this year. Also, my tubers are completely submerged under ground, so I don't even think I could cut any of the tuber with a cutting. Would it be effective if I don't have part of the tuber?

    Hi Sarah I have been following u as ref for my back garden flower growing in Berkshire .. Had my son leave to Uni recently and picked up this hobbie to help myself ward off 'empty nest' syndrome.. 😊 Had 2 questions.. What seed sowing cutting compost do u use for good results pls? Also is there a possibility to meet u and see ur farm next time i visit my son who is studying currently at Swansea uni, may be. 😁
  • This is the first time I've seen this method used to increase Dahlia stock. Interesting! Is there any advantage to doing this as opposed to dividing your tuber clump and planting the individual tubers like the single one you showed us earlier in the video? It seems as though it may take longer for your cuttings to root and flower (especially flower the same year) than if you planted individual tubers? I'm loving your videos! They are further fueling my passion for growing beautiful blooms! 🌼 Thank you for sharing!
