I just find it so much easier to save one tuber of one variety and then come spring i just propagate tip cuttings. And you can never tell the difference. With "ONE TUBER" you can get like 5 plants from stem propagation. Like when you do the pinch out, those pinched out tips if theyre not hollow will propagate easily .

I’m grateful for your videos. This video is so helpful. I dug my tubers last fall, it was so cold and my soil is clay. I didn’t divide or get all the soil off before storing them. They’re starting to sprout and I need to divide them. Some are big and full of tubers I wasn’t sure how to go about cutting. Thank you.

Eric is such a cutie!!!

Agreed!

I store mine in a paper bag, No Medium and I don’t lose any. Last year I used vermiculite and my tuber shriveled horribly and yes the medium was moistened first. Never again! Thank you for such great information

do you clean them before storing or store with dirt and roots?

I visited Swan Island Dahlias farm for first time this year. Want a beautiful place, and yes I already place my order for next season.

Wonderful!

I love my SWAN ISLAND DAHLIAS I received this year. They were glorious!

Great demo, thank you 🌺

What do you use to sanitize your tools when dividing. Great educational video as always. Thank you. Close ups of eyes would be beneficial.

I just divided my dahlias. Do I leave them to scar the cuts a bit before storing?

Some of my tubers feel and look wet. I’m worried about rot. What can I do?

In Canada I'm digging them out in late September

What knife are you using?

Here is the link to the knife we use! We love it, but it does take some practice to get used to and will need to be sharpened. www.dahlias.com/dahlia-tuber-dividing-knife

Great video thank you 😊

Eric is cute 🤭

You didn’t give chance at least this guy can say something . Next time don’t have people in videos if they don’t say anything you made him like a clown 🤡
