Repotting in eight steps
A closer look at the mix
Peat, green-waste compost and sand form part of this recipe. Loosen before filling and firm gently around the plant.
-
Plan the site and container
Choose a draining container suited to the cultivar, or prepare a sunny, well-drained position in the bed.
-
Check planting material
Use firm, healthy tubers or well-rooted plants. Handle tuber necks and young shoots gently.
-
Place supports early
For tall cultivars, insert a support before or during planting to avoid damaging tubers later.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use mix. Add a base layer in the pot or prepare the planting hole in the bed.
-
Position the dahlia
Set tubers with shoots facing up and position the crown just below the compost surface. Keep rooted potted plants at their previous planting level.
-
Fill and firm gently
Fill the gaps and firm gently. Leave watering space beneath the pot rim.
-
Water responsively
Avoid keeping tubers continuously wet before strong growth starts. Water rooted plants in and allow excess to drain.
-
Support continuing growth
Tie new shoots loosely when needed. Feed after 4–6 weeks during growth; keep started plants protected while frost remains possible.
Ongoing plant care
Dahlias enjoy sun. Support tall cultivars early, water as needed and remove faded flowers. Overwinter tubers frost-free according to local conditions.
