How To Grow Dahlia (Star Beauty) From Seeds
The seedling transplant method is mostly recommended for dahlia planting,
but if you live in an area with a long growing season, you can sow dahlia seeds
directly. Do not plant dahlias in cold soil, otherwise, the seeds will not grow
well. The optimum germination temperature for dahlia seeds is 18-25°C. To plant
dahlias in containers, you’ll need a pot or grow bag at least 6-24 inches wide
and 9-12 inches deep.
Dahlia Star Beauty Mix Seeds Sowing Method
Take a seedling tray and fill it with potting mix. Sow dahlia
seeds 0.4 inches (1.2 cm) deep in the soil, water deeply through a watering
can, and keep the soil moist. Dahlia seeds require light to germinate so
place the pot in a sunny location. Dahlia seeds germinate for about 5-14 days,
they can germinate early or late depending upon growing conditions.
Transplant the dahlia seedlings into a larger pot or grow
bag when they are a few inches tall. But before transplanting, harden them
for a week to give them a favorable environment. For healthy growth, plant 1-2
plants in a pot and add organic manure to the soil during planting.
