Dahlias 101 - Fertilizer 

Thank you, Swan Island. You do so much to help your customers have success with growing these beautiful flowers. ❤️

Thank you - my first year growing Dahlias and did not know this info!

Thank you so much! I wish i found this last year. I started growing dahlia's last year. I bought some from you and i could only plant in pots and unfortunately used miracle grow. Some did not sprout but some did. Some survive for this year and I am going to follow your advice and check the soil i am going to use and the check the numbers on the fertilizer. Very informative. Thank you very much.

I went to purchase fertilizer and asked the sales people what kind to use and this video has been super helpful. Thank you 😊

Excellent information! Thank you so much!

great content. thank you. 1st time growing Dahlias so Im learning. Growing season just started but Im glad I didnt just jump in with the high N from MG

Thank you! Finally, I found a channel about dahlias❤ and now I know a little more about these beautiful flowers… mine are growing beautiful… Though, I did everything backwards 😂 Hope I can fix the mushroom compost I added to my dahlia beds 😭 Will start feeding them regularly❤. thank you!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you, that was a great idea and very informative. Now I do know why my Fuzzy Wuzzy didn't grow much, they do have blooms though

Very helpful, thank you.

This was great! Thanks.... I've fertilized several times with that Dr Earth, but haven't recently... guess I better get out there. We were getting so much rain all the time, but it's been dry for a week+ now.

Hello. I loved this video and i've rewatched it several times. Could you please tell us what soil mix you use for the large bed/trays and for the plug trays? Thanks.

Great information

Thank you !!!!

Thank you for all the information. In the notes section can you put the names of what you use for fertilizing,the names can't be read from the video.

Your the best

Can you elaborate on the mushroom compost? I’ve used it with great success thus far. Thanks so much

Gracias Swan Island 🦩🌸💕

Good info - could be presented in half the time 🎉

I'm getting ready to fertilize my dahlias in my raised 8x4 bed! Is the 1/2 cup sprinkled around the plant still appropriate for that bed size? Oh in the Dr Earth Flower Girl fertilizer? Thanks!

I’m growing my dahlia in a large container outside, I have fish and seaweed fertilizer that has an NPK of 231, is that good enough?

Ohhh welll I already put my Dahlia tubes in mirical gro soil... I hope they grow ok, I will make sure that the fertilizer with low N

Did you day how often you water. It's hot and dry here but I dont want to overwater. If I wayer deeply is it twice a week or more often would you think?

what about rotted down sheep manure ? TY It is funny to me, I had a dahlia t my old house and I never touched it, never watered it, never fed it, never divided it , nothing, just hacked it back ever year. It flowered prolifically year after year after year. It was like it thrived on neglect. Now I am "into" dahlias, and i fuss and fluff over them, and don't know what is right fertiliser, or how much to water them, some I have rotted when I have got new tubers ..😂

Thank you. Swan island, how much of the fertilizer and how often do you fertilize your dahlia per 10,000 square feet?

My Dahlias have buds set and are starting to bloom. I have not fertilized at all yet. Which one would you recommend right now? I need them to be producing flowers for wedding in 3 1/2 weeks.

What is the second product, the one after the dr earth?

How do you feel about using wool pellets for slug/snail retardant and fertilizer?

So when you are doing this fertilizing, are you spraying?Just the bottom of the plant.Or are you spraying this fertilizer over the whole plant

Can't you just use Miracle Grow and dilute it 1/2 strength? Would that not work?

Also...I didnt get my Dahlias planted until June 21st. They are only about 8 inches tall. Will this push them along?

I'm so sad. I purchased swan Island dahlias for the first time this year. I wish that I'd understood their watering needs much earlier. The problem is, we are in near drought conditions. I had to rely almost entirely on rain. I think they're going to die. So sad!

As long as possible works for me….hehe

Water after when it’s taking off not when I planted two weeks

Just a friendly suggestion. Could you start wearing a microphone? I can barely hear what you're saying.

Please keep it under 10 minutes if you would.
