FINISH PGRs
TECH TIPS
B-Nine ® WSG at 2,500-5,000 ppm if needed.
It is critical to provide at least 12 hours or ideally 14 hours of light to help prevent tuber formation and to promote bulking. Planting the plugs deep helps strengthen the main stem. Dahlias are sensitive to overwatering; allow the media to dry between irrigations.
