Water: Dahlia 'Cornel' thrives with large leaves requiring ample water but is susceptible to root rot. Water promptly during drought, ensuring good drainage in wet conditions. Early seedlings need less water, increasing as growth progresses, ideally watering before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Cornel' prefers fertile soil. Begin applying a liquid nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 10-15 days as seedlings. Switch to phosphate-potassium fertilizer later, applying every 7-10 days post flower bud emergence. Stop fertilization when buds show color, and avoid during high temperatures. Adjust based on growth conditions.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Cornel' features vibrant blooms and lush foliage. Prune old stems in early spring to stimulate new growth and remove damaged parts. Pinch back shoots in summer for bushiness, and deadhead faded flowers to prolong blooming. Consult horticultural guides for region-specific care tips.

Propagation: Propagation of dahlia 'Cornel' involves root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division yields high survival rates, while cutting offers faster rooting at temperatures above 25℃, with buds rooting in about a week. Sowing is used for breeding, with blooms appearing 1-2 years later.
