Thank you for your video on ranunculus. You mention covering with compost. Can you please let us know what kind of compost is best. Thank you,

Best instructional video thank you!! ❤

Amazing, I just got the answer for my biggest question with ranunculus!

Thanks, this was really helpful! Antonio, did you ever think of using black fabric for delaying flowering time? In my case I’m having too much daffodils at the same time. My thought is to leave one bed as it is, the second one cover with white fabric and the third one cover with black fabric. But I’m hesitating if it will help. Maybe it will just heat the plants and they will be there even sooner?

you are a cutie

Nice work thank you.. I had broadcasted some cleome seeds way too heavy will try to thin. Also Tryed some marigolds and small zinnia together and those not enough will try rows with 3” space next time.

Really great info, its good to know that we could cut in the evening, it is so much easier for a night owl like me hahaha

Excellent! Really good. Thank you for the clear, calm video. This novice very much appreciates it.

Just bought my 1st Dahlia. 😍 I kill house plants 🥹 But have become an avid rose grower in my new garden. 🌹 A before and after vid would rock!! Huge thanks ❤

Thanks so much for the tip. It’s very helpful, and even more helpful when we go shopping for cut ranunculus because they charge a lot for a bunch. I bought and planted ranunculus recently. I have some questions I hope you can help: 1. I can see a group of 2/3 bulbs with 1 main bulb starting to open big. But once the main bulb finishes blooming how do I get the other bulbs (of the same stem) to open as big as the main one? Currently they open into very tiny flower or stay as little bulbs. 2. If I want to get some flower for the vase, do I cut just the main bulb or I need to cut the whole stem to the bottom which includes all the small bulbs to promote more flowerings? The issue is the small bulbs never open up in a vase and even if some do they are also very tiny. Your help will be very appreciated.

What would happen if the bud was now removed?

Welp! Was so excited to see blooms coming in I missed my window to cut back 😅

They d a hlia (as, at ,act)

There's a variety that I grow that can grow in zone 2. I don't know what it's name is but they have been growing where they shouldn't for a dozen years. I have a hardscape around my house and they are popping up between the rocks and the brick pathway.

What kind of sand should I get for direct sowing the tiny seeds? Love your videos. You do a great job😊

Hi Antonio, can you please share how we can save the corms at the end of their season?

Hi Antonio, can you please show me where to cut the stem? On a plant like zinnias it’s easy to see the proper spot but for ranuncs and anemones do I go all the way to the earth?

Someone plucked the peddles fry plants should I deadhead them now?

I’ve read up and watched videos of pinching plants but it still confuses me lol. I have a small dahlia plant and it has just four buds but it’s gotten stagnant I think. So hopefully I can figure something out 😅

Youtalk toooo.much, bye

Please go.to.the point. TY

Another great video! I can’t believe I just found your channel just now!

You gained a subscriber for your clear and concise video. This is really helpful for a new dahlia plant mom. I have a question and hope you can help me. I am presprouting my dahlias and one of them is already about a foot tall but it only has about 3 pairs of leaves. It’s not as bushy as yours. Is it already safe to pinch them at this point?

Why hadn’t I thought of this 😂 brilliant tip! Thank you

Thank you! Just discovered your videos and I’m really enjoying them- so helpful and lovely to watch 😊

So helpful thank you 😊

Wonderful tip

Great video, thanks! I'm just starting out with Dahlia's in Southern Fl.

Very helpful thank you!

So helpful thank you!

Great info. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I’m planting them for the first time this years.. fingers crossed they turn out ok! 🙌🏽

Does your container need drainage holes?

How long of a vase life do you get? If you use the hot water method do you put in for 10 seconds?

It’s so helpful that you are in the same area and hardiness zone as i am. I’m Alyssa from Avenue Road Flower Farm in Cambridge, Ontario! This is such a great video to recall how to start and plant out these little ranunculus octopi!

What’s the difference between tulips and roses?

Glad you showed up in my videos. I’m planning my second year of ranulunclus.

Very useful advice, thank you. Just one question, I am planting bulbs for cutting as well as leaving tulips in the ground. I am cutting them only for myself, for the vase. If I cut tulips, just the stems, without foliage, and without uprooting them with the bulb, will they come back next year? Thank you. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

What a great, concise, video. Thanks. Near the end, you show a tall, unpinched stem about to flower. I thought you were going to say sacrifice the bud and pinch the stalk, but you didn’t. I’m assuming that if you had pinched, the best you might expect for the season, would be a dahlia bush with no flowers. Am I right? You’d never have guessed it but I’m new to this. I was pondering this very question at about 6am this morning, but decided I should research before taking the bull by the horns. I have at least three plants in this state but another 10 that are slower growing and salvageable I think. I’ll certainly pinch those but the first three? Leave them and do better next year? R

This was great! My Aunt just told me last year about doing this, but seeing it done was SO helpful!!

Thanks for the lesson on pinching

I didn't know I was supposed to do this now many of mine are so tall! some 4' with thick center stems. Is it ever too late to pinch? or when I go to cut do I maybe just go a little further down the first time?

You only pinch once?

Great video concise and to the point - Thanks

Thank you, this was very helpful for my first time growing rununculus, only problem I have is I didn't plant enough of them.

Thank you so much for taking the time to take us through each step clearly. I have planted quite a few dahlias, love them, and cannot wait to see more and more flowers now I know how to pinch them properly. Once again,many thanks 😊.

What do you find your vaselife on these to be??? Thank you for this wonderful information

Hi antonio.i liked your video.i have a doubt in dhalia plant.my flowers are getting dried and leaves also.can you suggest me something.

Thank you from france

I have just started my Dahlia passion. I have Black Dahlia and Red XXL Cancun Dahlia. They're all in a flower bed not containers this year. The XXL Cancun Dahlia are supposed to be 18" but they're short and mounding with many flowers. How do I get it to grow UP? I want bouquets. Should I be pinching them? Is it watering? With the Black Dahlias they're about 8 inches in height 1 plant is 1 stalk and a few leaves, the other looks like it has several plants coming up from the flower bed. But each plant coming up has a 1 singular stalk. Help? Thank you.
