Water: Dahlia 'Classic Elise' requires careful watering; it needs more water but is susceptible to root rot from overwatering. During drought, water promptly, ensuring good drainage in rainy seasons. Initially, less water is needed, increasing during later growth stages, preferably before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Classic Elise' thrives in fertile soil and benefits from a liquid nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 10-15 days during its early growth, shifting to phosphate-potassium later. Fertilization should cease once flower buds color. Excessive heat or improper application can lead to growth issues.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Classic Elise' features vibrant flowers and bushy growth. Prune in early spring to encourage blooms and improve air circulation by removing dead stems and thinning crowded areas. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent infection, as strategic pruning enhances vigor and aesthetics.

Propagation: Propagation of dahlia 'Classic Elise' is achieved through root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division allows for high survival rates, while cutting is preferred for faster rooting. Cuttings thrive in moist, sandy soil at 25℃. Sowing is used for breeding, with blooms appearing 1-2 years later.
