Dahlia cuttings 

Watched a very informative video last year from Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon on dahlia cuttings. It worked well for me and I increased the number of my Cafe Au Lait and Spartacus dahlias!

I enjoyed your informative video about dahlia cuttings and care. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try it!

Heather does an amazing job explaining in the videos. I'm looking forward watching and learning more. Also, can't wait to come see the fields again this year.

This is very informative, I like dahlias too and bought some tubers, now I have an idea how to propagate them. I have single petals dahlias that I grew from seeds and haven’t tried this yet. Thanks for sharing, new friend here.

Loads of really helpful information. Thanks for making these videos. It's appreciated. Your climate is similar to here in Manchester, UK. Our last frost date is usually mid to late May and this year has been a really cold start so only just getting going. Love my dahlias and having to build up stock again as bad winter saw me losing loads of them.

Thank you for this! East coaster here that was able to visit your dahlia festival this summer. Very special place you have there! 😊

Thank you for such a clear and informative video! I'm new to Dahlias and just having my first tubers come up (in southern California), and I'm looking forward to pinching them and propagating them! Thanks again!

I love Cafe Au Lait, thank you for sharing..

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am excited about the beautiful dahlias we will get to enjoy from my dahlia tubor purchase from Swan Island for next year!

Super awesome sharing of knowledge. That is something I truly appreciate, it’s unselfishly shared, and that brings forth a good vibe that has me choose to order tubers from you guys.

Great video. Very informative. I just found your channel and, based on this video, have subscribed. Excellent. Thank you.

Very informational . Thank you for sharing.

Hare Krishna. So amazing planting idea 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much Heather for sharing your knowledge. 👍 I love dahlias and I’ve collected over 20 different varieties. I only split the tubers in the past, but I’ll definitely try taking cuttings next year like the way you showed us. The next thing is to get a new house with a big garden to grow these babies🙂

Thank you for this video. I have an order on the way from you and really looking forward to it's arrival! I'll be trying this propagation method I'm sure!

Amazing videos! Thank you!

A very impressive operation, l just love it!

thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the video! Really clear and helpful!

Very educational!!! Thank you so much

Wonderful video. I would like to know how you prepared the ones in the beginning of the video, to get them started and rooting. I live in zone 4 in Canada, and have put my tubers (4) LOL away for the winter in my cold cellar but when did you start the tubers off? Had they wintered and then planted for the cuttings? I really want to try this just need to know the timing Thanks for sharing

Very helpful. Thank you.

Great sharing host informative content.soon I will start my gardening your tutorial is so helpful to me thanks for sharing host.New friend here i hope to see you around ❤️👍

Great stuff. Thank you. If you dont sell the cuttings but they are just to increase stock, may i ask what you do do with them?

Great info. Thank you!

Outstanding

Thank you thank you! I have several varieties I’d like to do this with! I know this video is over a year old but I hope you’ll see it and reply. So a cutting taken in February will wait in the green house until planting out in May? How do you hold them from growing all the way up in the greenhouse? Is it the temperature in the 70’s that keeps their growth slowed for so many months? They grow so fast usually, how do you slow them down while you wait for your weather to allow them to be planted outside? I hope this makes sense… Thank you in advance for your reply.

I’ve just purchased some of your dahlia tubers- first timer here! Very excited! Anyways, I was wondering about your advice on when to plant here in Oregon. Am I too early now? Also, what sort of fertilizer to use. Do you use the Stimuplex on your dahlia tubers as well?

FABULOUS TUTORIAL

Very nice. I will try using pure honey as a rooting hormone and fungicide before I buy fresh rooting hormone. Because my water is treated by the city I will allow it to sit overnight in a bucket to allow the sanitizer to vaporize.

Will these cuttings grow on to produce flowers the same season? Thank you for well explained video.

Thank you so much Heather! Very helpful! ❤

EXCELLENT Video - Thank YOU for the Dahlia knowledge..It would be even better if you guys did a video of taking cuttings from a dahlia that's already growing in a pot or ground...where the tuber is NOT exposed...

I didn’t know any of this. Tfs.

Hi Heather. Great video! Can you root the pinched growth as you would with the cuttings?

It was really a nice presentation. Thank you so much. May I ask something please.1. Shall we put pure vermiculite or shall we mix it with potting soil. 2. Which part of the plant shall we spray the Stimplex? 3. When shall we stop spraying the stimplex? 4. When shall we stop fertilizing them with Miracle Gro? I hope you will reply and answer my 4 questions. I really need when I will try this method. Thank you again for this great video.

Thank you for making this wonderful video. You wrote below that the cuttings form a tiny clump of tubers in the first year. Are these big enough to store, or how do you care for these until the next summer? thank you

I have a question. After you've dipped the cuttings in root hormone and placed them in the soil, do you water them then? Or do you wait until 4 hours later when you add the fertilizer? I'm experimenting with some cuttings and want to make sure I do it properly. FYI- I'm using powdered root hormone and not the gel as shown in this video. Thanks in advance for your response! I love Swan Island Dahlias.

If you take cuttings from an established plant and root it mid season can it just be kept inside in a pot over winter? Do they need a dormant period?

Hi, I was just wondering if you can still do this at home with a tuber you want to grow? just a couple of times? also, when you pinch out the dahlia, can you use that as a sprout to propagate? thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Beautiful and what rooting gel do you use ?

How do you arrange the tubers that will have cuttings taken from them....depth in the soil, distance apart, straight up or laying on their sides etc.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Swan Island Dahlia. About long many weeks total is the process of taking 10 cuttings from the tubers?

Can you do this with a heat mat and grow light indoors?

Thank u thank u I got a lot of seeds I'm so xstd to get to work.

U can grow them with seed , cutting, or even from tuber. What a plant

Will the cuttings flower at the same time in summer as a spring planted tuber would?

That is the best and easy to understand video. I have two questions, please give me the answers if you see this comment. Q, can you propagate the one from pinching? There something else I can use to replace Stimuplex? Thank you! have a sweet dream!

Do you continue the weekly stimplex spray once they are planted in the field?

Hi great video, how deep is the medium for the tubers initially, for best sprouting?

Hello, thank you for this very informational video about dahlia cuttings. I have a question though. I'm in Milwaukie, OR, not far from you all and am wondering when I should start my tubers and then when to take the cuttings? I see a lot of videos on how to take cuttings, but having a hard time getting a timeline for the Portland Metro Area. I am in the process of setting up a greenhouse in my backyard. To I start the tubers in the greenhouse with a 75 degree temp? Or do I start them inside and when do I start? Thank you so much!

Once you take cutting from Bulbs, what’s you do with the bulbs , save them again or just through them . And how to get new bulbs after the season ? Great video thanks a million .

Heather if you are removing a dahlia from the ground and one of the tubers have broken off and doesn't have a root on it can you put that into the soil and get it to roots and produce new growth? Thank you for sharing your information I truly have gained so much knowledge by watching your video!

Do you water down the stimplex? I was able to order some but the label is very difficult to read....tiny light colored writing on it....so please let me know about that....thanks so much !!

The fertilizer you use after cloning the dahlias, can that same method of fertilizing be used for other flowers for cloning as well?

I have a question regarding the stimplex. How much water do you add to stimplex for the dahlia cuttings ??? How much stimplex per water and I know you spray them one time per week....

will the cuttings develop new tubers with time?

Something I thought was that if a Tube fell off of the main plant it was no longer any good, I'm very confused and was just about to throw away some tubers. I would appreciate your advice, thank you for this eye opening video 💜

Is there any way to save those tubers?

Do you put Humidity domes on them, or is it warm enough without them? Do you heat your greenhouse at night time?

So with a greenhouse that warm I guess you don’t need bottom heat to encourage roots? As long as you are leaving some of the eye on the tuber that same eye re-sprouts ?? ....or it encourages a new one to pop up...I guess this is not the same as people taking cuttings that includes a bit of the tuber -doesn’t that (other)method permanently kill that eye?

I have potted my cut off plants from tuber and planted in pots, now will they give off any flowers or is this just to grow more tubers

Are these sitting on heat pads or just the 70+ degrees of your greenhouse for warmth?

I am taking cuttings now, how do I store them for the winter? I am in zone 6 where we have a pretty milk winter (usually).

Good Morning! I'm Brazilian. I have been trying to sow dalias with seeds, but I have been unsuccessful. They were born weak. What is this substance that you wet the highlighted seedlings?

When should the tubers be watered in the trays? Before leaves start to show or only after?

So will the cuttings grow tubers eventually? Can I do this with a Dahlia from walmart? Can I take a cutting of the branch? What would you do with a Dahlia from walmart to make it into a million Dahlias-- give or take a few lol ?. Sry Im a super beginner.

I was told many years ago that Dahlia cuttings flowers tend to be more vibrant in color and better flower form the first season it blooms! Is that true? Thank you for sharing

Thank you very much!! great video! By the way, do you know any information about "late cutting" method by Swami Vinayananda, for the plain land? He wrote detailed about late cutting in his book "Dahlia: the flower majestic" Thank you again, dear!

Hello so those cuttings can count as cloning the tubers???

How long will it take for the cuttings to grow tubers?

Can you still plant the original tuber after taking cuttings from it?

Hi its amazing how can we order these plants for this summer.

🙏🏻👍🌸❤️

Whats the rooting hormone they use?

Como se faz enxerto em bulbo de dálias?

so you sell the tubers?

Very interesting! Does these cuttings give flowers their first year? And do they give reasonable tubers for next year? Thanks, mark

Thanks for great video btw....My mind was blown to see yards and yards of babies! Can we have your tired tubers??? Haha!
