Growing Dahlias in Containers | How I Stopped Killing My Dahlias 

Have grown dahlias for years in 14 inch plastic pots. No problems and they're gorgeous ! So many varieties it's hard to choose 😊

Thanks for sharing your video! Your garden is beautiful. I’m a gardener too and I’m researching all the things I can grow in containers. I’m happy it led me to find you. I’m so happy it did your channel has so much to offer! This is very helpful. Thanks for teaching me something new. I hope we can learn more from each other as we grow our gardens and our channels! 💐🌸🌺🌻

Your dahlias are beautiful & look so healthy. Thank you for sharing your learnings. For the 1st time I'll use pots for the dahlias, so your video has been helpful. Enjoy the blooms.

Great idea on the grow bag! Thanks for sharing.

This is my first year growing dahlias. I’m in love love love ❤️

They are beautiful. Glad you showed the grow bags-so interesting. I hadn’t been aware of such and don’t like plastic pots but that’s what I could find. Had to force my own drainage holes.

This is helpful and telling. Everything I grow from seed lives and thrives better than any plant i buy from the store. Very telling.

Fantastic narration , lots of useful grow information and attractive video images : )

Thank you for all your tips! This is my first year growing dahlias!

Awesome tips. I *love* grow bags. Didn't know I could grow dahlias in them

Thanks for taking the time and effort into making such an informative video! I am fairly new to gardening, I’ve been at it for 5 years now, but this is my first time trying Dahlia’s. Well, technically it’s my second time, but I literally threw some seeds into a pot the first time trying, haha! Now I have a little more knowledge under my belt about gardening in general, and I have all of the proper stuff to give me a good start. My tubers were planted into small plastic starter pots a few weeks ago and they are already showing the first signs of growth. I live in the south in zone 9, so I figured getting them started early would be good, especially considering it’s been a very warm winter here in New Orleans. And very soon, I’m either going to transplant those into the ground or I was considering trying them in containers. That’s very interesting what you pointed out about the container not giving enough air flow to the plant. I’ve never heard of that before. Definitely something to consider. I hope you have those bags linked in your description. Happy gardening friend!🌻

Very clear and concise information! Thank you🌺

That's a great idea.thanks for sharing.🇨🇦

Thank you for the video on dahlias. Gorgeous flowers! I will try growing some in CA. Nice cut flowers!

THANKS FOR SHARING, FIRST TIME TO SEE A GROW BAg thanks for saving us money and teaching us from what you learned. i"m new to dahlias. tytyt

Thank you for making this very educational video! I am also in Zone 6 and got some tubers to start trying dahlias in containers this year. I was worried that I would be disappointed with trying to put them in my 10 gallon grow bags since I couldn't find anyone else talking about doing this, so your video was a perfect example. So excited to get them started!

WOW YOU ARE AMAZING. WHY I NEVER SEEN YOU BEFORE??? I THOUGHT YOU WERE NEW. BUT ANYWAY I THINK YOU ARE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD AND TO THE POINT. YET PERSONABLE. EASY TO LIKE. THANK YOU , I ENJOY THIS LEARNING EXPERIENCE. 🌺

Awesome video! I look forward to seeing how my bulb does 😊 thanks you very much!

Your plants look healthy. I recently started using grow bags . I love um . Thanks for the video.

I would definitely stake ahead of time to prevent puncturing the tuber. Been there done that. Also if you wait to long it will start to contort. I haven’t had much problem planting in the ground. Spider mites have been my main problem. I am interested in planting in pots to make it easier to collect tubers in the fall. But I’m thinking of sticking the pot in the soil.

Thanks for sharing to grow the Dahilas in containers which is I never grow it. When I get a chance to plant it

Great video. I lost several plants last year. There stems are so fragile. I'd use the peony half bars, one on each side.

thanks for making this video!

So helpful!! Thank you!

Extremely useful. Thank you

Good morning and very nice video and good information

Excellent video

Thanks for the great tips

Great information, do you have a video on practically how you plated tubers ?

Thank you for sharing! GOD bless!

Your dahlias are beautiful! I grew up in Chicago - moved away to the suburbs and every garden season we drive down to Gesthesame. I love that nursery! Great tips on growing dahlias. I wonder if you can keep them in the grow bag to overwinter and just bring them inside? I like the idea of the grow bags. I started mine in plastic pots for around a month or so, and planted them out in June, I think. They did really well. This year, I’m adding more of the deep wine colors. Too many choices! Happy gardening.

Wow dahlias You'll get wonderful blooms

It's very very very good Bethany..Chicago gardene🌷🌺😴😫🇺🇸🎵🎹🎺🎶🎧SO much To AMERICA Now Now

I just bought the Café au Lait and it looks just like the one you have....at least on the accompanying picture

Thanks for the information. What stunning blooms. This is my first year with dahlias, I have planted them in plastic pots, after hearing what you say I’m wondering if they will be ok. I was late leaving them out at at night because of what felt like every slug in the country had decided to come descend on my greenhouse and garden. 😢 I have now rigged pots up with an electric copper “fence”.

How did you get the stalk to grow so thick? 😮

Thank you!

This video inspired me to do this on my tiny balcony, hopefully it works. Regarding the drip system, how often and how much water do they get? Im considering installing one for when Im away on vacation. Thanks!

Helpful...

Thank you for this video! As a novice gardener myself, I have committed to growing dahlias this year in containers and in my garden this year. You have helped me given me some helpful tips! Would you mind linking the fertilizer you used?

What kind of soil do you use? Do you mix your own?

Dahlias are one of my favorites flowers, too bad they are not hardy to Chicago’s winter))

I just bought a small five inch plant are you saying I should put it in a 12 inch pot???

Love your videos :) What is your preferred soil type for container gardening?

I would love to know more about your drip system for the dahlias !

This video is so helpful to a fellow Chicagoland dweller! Hey, might you tell me what size grow bag you used? 15 gallon seems huge, but…

Yes they look like cafe to me. (The dahlia you showed )

Hi, Bethany, I love your videos and the way you explaining, I have a question, I am from Chicago suburbs and want to buy AA dahlias, can you suggest me where to buy?

New friend joined u..very nice sharing.. Stay connected

Great video. Now I got mine at a store. Do all dahlias grow big?

I'm growing in pots this year.I had trouble digging up last year was thinking of wintering then over right in their pots in my basement. What do you think?

I found your explanation!! :))

Thank you so much for another great garden video thank you so much for so many great tips I have a lot of plants I have tried to grow in my garden and have had zero luck so I think I’ve tried to grow them too and I don’t think I had any luck with them either but I’m not a great gardener either

What is the other link you mentioned for planting dahlias. This will be my first year trying to grow them.

Do Dahilas stay bloomed long? I have beautiful giant red and orange lilly's and they last fairly long.

If I plant mine by seed mid March when should I expect them to fully bloom? I’m in San Antonio Tx zone 9 I believe

I've seen some people use clear plastic cling wrap, and vermiculite to store theirs, what did you do?

Can you leave plant in pot, and just bring it inside before frost? Park it in front of sunny window for the winter?

I recorded a video showing how I planted my dahlias this year! This is the same method I used for the dahlias in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eK7uOJ5d2Vs.html

I hate to be that creep to comment on someone's beauty but WOW, you made my heart smile :)

Did you plant one tuber per grow bag??? I'm thinking of doing some that way and was curious. And it does look like a Cafe Au Lait to me :)

You can wash the grow bags on a bucket with vinegar . I have been using them for 3 years and they look great

Hello, how many shoots do you leave? Mine grew 3 and I removed one, but I see in yours youve left just one, is that preferable?

Çiçeklerin. Çok. Mükemmel. Güzel. Ve. Bahçe. Saygılar sevgiler seni. Hocam😍😍🌻🌺🌼🍀🌸🎄💐

i got my potted dahlias two months ago, all the flowers bloomed but now the leaves seemed like it shrunk and a little brown, it’s sad looking. no buds or flowers. any suggestions ? i’m in california zone 9.

Would you consider a Terra Cotta pot as breathable?

I am thinking of using grow bags for my dahlias but am concerned they are going to need too much watering in the heat of summer as the grow bags dry out so much faster? How much / how often are u watering them in the grow bags? thanks heaps.

Do you have any suggestions where to purchase Dahlia seeds/tubers? Your Dahlia are lovely!😍

That’s so weird, that you had better luck growing them from the seed vs buying them already established. Gardening makes no sense sometimes

I accidentally ordered two 15 gal grow bags instead of the 7 gal. Do you think I could plant two tubers in one bag? I'm so glad that I found your channel. I love dahlias and never had much luck growing them in the ground. They would grow the first season only. I do live in zone 9.

Great informational vlog ✅ 🌱 Chip 👋🏼 CHIPS WORLD

Kindly tell about the suitable direction. Where to keep it in the house.

I think this is dahlia café au lait royal. I have these in my garden too :)
