Water: Dahlia 'Impression Festivo' requires ample water due to its large leaves but is susceptible to root rot. Water promptly during droughts and ensure good drainage in rain. Initially, water less; increase frequency in later growth stages, preferably around sunrise or sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Impression Festivo' thrives in fertile soil, requiring a liquid nitrogenous fertilizer every 10-15 days during seedling stages, transitioning to phosphate-potassium fertilizer later. Apply fertilizer every 7-10 days post-flower bud emergence, halting when buds show color. Monitor leaves for signs of nutrient deficiency or excess.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Impression Festivo' requires early to late spring pruning by removing damaged stems and pinching young shoots for bushier growth. Regular deadheading of spent flowers extends blooming. Proper techniques ensure robust development and optimal flower production. Refer to horticultural guides for specific pruning timing and methods.

Propagation: Main propagation methods for dahlia 'Impression Festivo' include root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division involves planting tubers at 15℃ to produce multiple seedlings. Cutting is preferred for faster rooting; buds should be cut when 3-5 cm with a survival rate highest above 25℃. Sowing leads to blooms in 1-2 years.
