Water: Originating from Mexico's highlands, dahlia 'Fleurel' flourishes in moderate moisture and requires weekly watering to support its vibrant blooms. It prefers full sun exposure outdoors, necessitating adequate soil moisture during the growing season for optimal flower production while avoiding over-saturation and prolonged dryness.

Fertilize: For optimal growth, dahlia 'Fleurel' requires a balanced fertilizer of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, applied every 4-6 weeks during the growing season at quarter strength. Winter adjustments are necessary as growth slows, and applying gently with damp soil prevents root burn while promoting blooms and health.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Fleurel' features large, vibrant blooms. Prune in early to late spring by cutting old stems to ground level for new growth. Remove dead tissue and pinch young shoots for bushiness. Thin selectively to improve airflow and prevent mildew, ensuring a robust plant with maximum blooms.

Propagation: Dahlia 'Fleurel' is propagated through tubers, which should be divided carefully, ensuring each piece has one eye. Plant in well-draining soil with proper spacing. Regular watering is essential, avoiding waterlogged conditions. Rooting hormone is unnecessary; optimal depth and care promote healthy growth.
