Dividing & Waking Up Dahlia Tubers Easily

[@kathrynowens2678]

This is my first year to overwinter tubers. I purchased a few, was gifted some from friends and started some from seed last year. I have a large cardboard box, and I’ve been checking on them every month. Your video gives me confidence to tackle pre sprouting today. Our last frost date is May 20. Fingers crossed. 🤞 😉

Hi Vita. Its hard to tell you've only done this a few times. You look like a pro at it. Great job. My tubers never have little sprouts like your's so I just spread them in a 10 by 20 tray and see what happens. Then I clip the ones that grow and sprout them in soil. It seems to work with only a few losses. Thanks, great video, as usual. Glenda

Hi Glenda. Thanks so much. ♥ I like your method for dividing your dahlia tubers. It's such a great way to increase your stock in dahlia plants. 😊

Great timely video! I've been meaning to start this process with all my tubers. This is my first year overwintering dahlia tubers so fingers crossed:)

Hi Carol! I'm so glad you were able to overwinter your dahlia tubers. That feeling when you see the dahlias beginning to sprout - priceless! ♥🌸

This is my second year of overwintering dahlias and I was scared to split them last year because I didn’t know what I was doing and I didn’t want to ruin them. I just planted them as is after the first frost. I will definitely split them this year and start them now. I’m excited to have more plants and to have the head start before placing them in my garden. Thanks for sharing your experience in your videos.

You are so very welcome. I'm so glad you'll be trying to divide and pre-sprout some of your dahlias this year. You should have nice sizeable plants well before your last frost. 🌺♥

I overwintered two tubers. Thank you for your advice. I plan to pot them up and put them on a windowsill. This is my first time doing this. Thank you for your encouragement!

Hi Patti! You got this! I'm very happy to hear that you'll be waking up your tubers. It really does give them a nice jumpstart heading towards your last frost date. Happy gardening! 💮

Wow! 10 boxes of Dahlia tubers!!! That is awesome. This is my first year successfully overwintering tubers. I'm excited and a bit intimidated by the process. I've potted up a few that were easy to divide. I haven't tackled the big ones yet, but you've given me more confidence to get it done! Thank you for your informative and encouraging videos.

Hi Cheryl! I'm so glad to hear that your Dahlia tubers overwintered just fine. Yay! You got this. Just think of how beautiful all your Dahlias will be this year! 😊🌺

I use the no holes in tray method to sprout my dahlias. Cover with moisten soil and won't water them until first green 🍃 leaves appear. Works every time.

Great to know. Thanks for sharing, friend! 😊♥
