How to grow dahlia in pots

1. Soil preparation

Potted dahlias prefer to grow in well-drained and fertile soil. Generally, a mixture of garden soil, leaf mold and sandy soil can be used in a ratio of 5:3:2. This type of soil is both nutritious and can drain water in time.

2. Pruning

Dahlias can be pruned properly after growing for a period of time. This will make their appearance more beautiful and avoid wasting nutrients due to diseased branches.

3. Watering

Generally, when watering potted dahlias, you should pay attention to the amount of water. If you water too much at one time, the soil will not be able to absorb it in time, which will cause water accumulation at the roots.
