• Sowing Method: 2–3 seeds per plug; direct sowing into final pot possible
• Germination:
– Stage I: 3–4 days at 20–21°C (68–70°F), lightly covered
– Stage II: 5–7 days at 20–21°C
– Stage III: 12–14 days at 18–20°C (65–68°F)
– Stage IV: ~7 days at 15–17°C (60–62°F)
• Grow at 15–18°C (60–65°F)
• Harden plants at 12–13°C (54–55°F) before sale
• Frost sensitive – do not expose to low temperatures
• Well-drained substrate recommended
• Optimal pH: 5.5 – 6.0
• Moderate fertilization required
• Apply balanced fertilizer weekly (100–150 ppm nitrogen)
• Avoid excess ammonium and nitrogen
• Supplement magnesium and iron if deficiencies appear
Note: Dahlia plants do not tolerate frost. Temperatures above 21°C combined with long day length may affect flower quality, and temperatures above 25°C can inhibit flower initiation.
