Water: Dahlia 'Boom Boom White' requires ample water due to its large leaves but is susceptible to root rot from excess moisture. Water promptly during droughts, ensuring proper drainage in rainy seasons. Initially, less water is needed; increase during later growth stages, preferably watering at sunrise or sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Boom Boom White' thrives in fertile soil. Apply thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days, focusing on nitrogen initially and then phosphate-potassium. After buds appear, fertilize every 7-10 days, halting once buds show color. Adjust based on growth signs like leaf color and texture.

Pruning: Pruning dahlia 'Boom Boom White' in early to late spring fosters growth and flowering. Remove dead stems and pinch back shoots for bushiness. Clean cuts prevent disease, while regular pruning enhances air circulation and light penetration. Always use sterilized tools to minimize infection risks.

Propagation: Propagation methods for dahlia 'Boom Boom White' include root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division involves planting tubers at 15℃ and yields around five seedlings. Cutting, preferred for quicker rooting, requires maintaining 70%-75% humidity and takes about 15 days before transplanting. Sowing is used for breeding, with blooms occurring 1-2 years later.
