Preparation before winter

Pruning

Dahlia will gradually wither before winter, and the aboveground part has completely lost its vitality. Flower friends directly cut off the withered branches and stems, usually six centimeters above the ground, and then move the whole flowerpot to the indoor environment with relatively high temperature, which is the first step for Dahlia to survive the winter safely

Management after winter

Illumination

Dahlia is a flower that prefers semi light conditions. In winter, the root system also needs some sunlight. Therefore, after pruning, you'd better not put the flowerpot in a completely shaded environment and let the flowerpot receive some sunlight, which is conducive to more smooth germination in the coming year

Moisture

Generally, in winter, most flowers don't need watering. For plants that are afraid of drought and waterlogging, like dahlia, you can pour some water slightly in winter to ensure that the soil won't be too dry and too hard. If you don't know how to control the water volume, it is suggested that you can stop watering, because the root of Dahlia has the function of storing water, so no watering will not cause any adverse effect

Storage

For Dahlia ready for winter, we should also pay attention to the construction of storage environment, which is not too complex. We only need flower friends to control the indoor environment not lower than 1 ℃, which is generally the best between one and five degrees, and then ensure that the indoor environment must be dry and completely eliminate all watering behaviors
