Water: Dahlia 'Karma Lagoon' requires consistent watering, especially during growth stages, but should not be waterlogged due to its fleshy roots. Water once a day in early growth, and increase as it matures. Optimal watering times are before sunrise or after sunset to prevent drought or excess moisture.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Karma Lagoon' thrives in fertile soil. Apply thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days, favoring nitrogen in early growth and phosphate-potassium later. Post-flower bud color emergence, fertilize every 7-10 days, stopping once buds show color. Adjust fertilizer based on plant health signs.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Karma Lagoon' features vibrant blooms and requires early spring pruning, cutting back to 4-6 inches for bushier growth. Deadheading spent flowers promotes continuous blooming, while timely removal of damaged stems enhances ventilation and decreases fungal disease risk, leading to healthier plants.

Propagation: Propagation methods for dahlia 'Karma Lagoon' include root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division produces high survival rates, with tubers planted at 15℃ yielding multiple seedlings. Cuttings root faster at 25℃, needing 1 week to root and 15 days to transplant. Sowing leads to blooms in 1-2 years.
