Your father was way ahead of his time . Now knowing about the rhizophagy cycle and how it stimulates root hair growth , licking the cutting will actually help the cutting root because of the bacteria in saliva.
Meg ennyi szépségét meg nem láttam lenyugozo nagyon klassz nagyon kedvelt a dalia szeretem a daliat nekem vannak gratulálok tisztelettel köszönöm ❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉
Is this the Foxfield at Blythe Bridge near Stone. I was born and raised in Stone, spent some time at the station, living in Victor Street. I used to watch the porters releasing the homing pigeons and recording the times etc on a clipboard. We all went down to watch the circus unload the animals from the freight cars, feeling a bit disappointed the the elephant was quite small.
29:59 Thankyou so much for your amazing tips for Dahlias, just a tip for the hollow stem cuttings, slice down the middle stem to split in two, better chance of rooting x2 ….
what a fantastic video! Thank you for making this. I'm in USA zone 7A and just planted outside all my bulbs that I started inside under grow lights. Can I take my cuttings now end of May and plant them in a medium and leave them outside since it will be so warm? i will of course monitor and water all of them. Does that idea sound feasible?? warmest regards.
Normally you would take cuttings prior to planting out the tubers - I start mine off in a glass house in January and the plant out the resulting plants in July when all chance of frosts has passed. If you take cuttings after planting them out, you will limit the number of flowers on each plant, also the resulting plants will not be suitable for planting outside (not big enough) until next year.

Is it true if you take a cutting without a small piece of the crown attached, the plant will only bloom in the first year? And when replanting the new tuber it will not flower anymore? What’s your experience?
What do you mean by a small piece of the crown? You'll find that cuttings will root easier if they have a small amount of the tuber attached, though, so long as they have one pair of leaves plus the growth tip, they will normally be OK. HTH
I started my dahlias from seed this year. I went by recommended seed sowing time, but mine are gigantic and taking up all the space in my grow setup. I'll definitely start them later next year!
I think you will find that plants raised from seed will mostly not come true to the original variety - they will be a mixture of what ever varieties the pollenator visited ...
@@vc131a they were from a packet, not personally saved seeds. Yeah, I have no idea what I'll get. I also don't know why I said I would start them later next year when I will have tubers to replant 😆
Every day is a school day -as they say! I watched on You Tube in how one separate's Dahlia tubers, then tonight I view your blog in which taking cuttings from Dahlia can create more plants which I would not think that was possible! Many thanks!
Hi! I’ve done some cuttings sealed in a plastic bag for humidity... they lost all leaves but now have some new leaves coming through. (Which was a nice surprise!) Would you let some air in now or keep them in the bag? They seem like they’re going a bit sludgy!
I appreciate your videos. Thank you for your explanations of cuttings, and everything dahlias. 💚 Would love to see what flowers are produced from your plot neighbors with their seedling experiments. Thanks for your work in making your videos! Phoenix, Arizona USA
just wondering what growing zone you are at? this way i will be able to judge when i should start growing on my own dahlia tubers to grow enough to take cuttings from. here i am a zone 4 it very wintery here at the moment. and last frost is sometime late may. thank you for sharing your video and sharing your knowledge.
I am a senior but would like to try to plant some dahlias,I have not grown them before I only grow in pots in my back yard and my front garden is small and to much clay please send me some information I would like to order some thanks
Thank you for this valuable information. I have a favorite dahlia that is throwing a sport variety in another color of itself. I wanted to take a few cuttings to see if I can stabilize the new color. Thank you for you help in learning how I might do this. Ta, from Seattle!
Thank you for this, I wasn’t sure if taking a cutting in the fall would be futile. I’ve got three dahlia I rescued from a pile late in the summer. They’re alive, but only one flower among them. I really would like them to multiply, this is the only color I’ve liked of what was on offer and now there is hope I might get more for next summer.
