Water: Dahlia 'Honka White' requires consistent watering due to its large leaves but has sensitive, fleshy roots that may rot with excess water. Water immediately during drought and enhance drainage during rains. Seedlings need minimal water; increase during later growth stages, ideally before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Honka White' prefers fertile soil and requires a thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days at first, shifting to every 7-10 days after bud emergence. Cease fertilization when buds show color. Ensure appropriate fertilization levels to avoid deficiency or excess symptoms.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Honka White' features star-shaped white flowers and requires regular deadheading for extended blooming. Prune in early to late spring, cutting back to 6 inches above ground to promote new growth and air circulation, enhancing vigor, blooms, and maintaining shape.

Propagation: Dahlia 'Honka White' can be propagated via root division, cutting, or sowing. Root division is simple and yields multiple seedlings. Cutting is the preferred method for faster rooting at temperatures above 25℃, requiring moist sandy soil. Sowing is mainly for breeding, with blooms in 1-2 years.
