Water: Dahlia 'Henriette' thrives with large leaves, requiring ample water. However, its fleshy roots are prone to rot, so avoid overwatering. Water immediately during drought and ensure good drainage. Early seedlings need less water, while mature plants require more, ideally before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Henriette' thrives in fertile soil, requiring thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days initially, changing to 7-10 days after flowering. Fertilization ceases when flower buds show color and should be avoided in high temperatures. Leaf color indicates fertilizer levels: light leaves suggest deficiency, while scorched edges indicate excess.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Henriette' boasts vibrant double blooms and lush foliage. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems and enhance bushiness. Avoid heavy pruning late in the season to prevent winter weakening. Regular pruning promotes airflow and reduces disease, ensuring a healthy, flourishing dahlia 'Henriette'.

Propagation: Dahlia 'Henriette' can be propagated through root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division has a high survival rate, with tubers planted at 15℃. The cutting method is preferred for faster rooting at temperatures above 25℃, requiring high humidity. Sowing is used for breeding, with blooms appearing 1-2 years later.
