Early seedlings need less water; increase quantity on sunny days. Watering is best before sunrise or after sunset.
Fertilize:
Dahlia 'Barbarry Dominion' thrives in fertile soil, requiring thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days. Use nitrogenous fertilizer early on and switch to phosphate-potassium later. Fertilization should cease when flower buds show color, and avoid during high temperatures. Symptoms indicate fertilizer levels: light leaves suggest deficiency, scorched edges indicate excess, while dark green leaves signal proper nutrition.
Pruning:
Dahlia 'Barbarry Dominion' thrives with vibrant blooms and requires early spring pruning to remove dead stems. Pinch tips for bushiness and deadhead spent flowers for prolonged blooms. Pruning enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and improves vigor. Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.
Propagation:
Dahlia 'Barbarry Dominion' can be propagated through root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division is easy with a high survival rate, while cuttings offer faster rooting. Maintain humidity at 70%-75% and ideal temperatures over 25℃. Sowing is mainly for breeding, with blooms appearing 1-2 years later.
