Water: Originating from mountainous areas, dahlia 'Karma Serena' prefers moderate moisture and consistent soil hydration, without waterlogging. Weekly watering supports its health, while rainwater during the growing season enhances its growth as a popular outdoor flowering plant. It is moderately drought-tolerant.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Karma Serena' thrives in fertile soil and requires a liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days at the seedling stage, transitioning to 7-10 days post-flower bud emergence. Fertilization should cease when buds develop color, and avoid high temperatures. Signs of deficiency include light leaves, while scorched edges indicate excess.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Karma Serena' features vibrant, long-lasting flowers. Prune in early spring, removing dead stems to boost blooms. Pinch tips for bushiness and deadhead spent flowers to extend flowering. Pruning enhances air circulation, reduces disease risk, and promotes growth using clean, sharp tools.

Propagation: Dahlia 'Karma Serena' propagates effectively through tubers, requiring careful division with at least one 'eye' per section. Plant in well-draining soil and keep moist, avoiding waterlogging. Shield initial shoots from frost and support stems as blooms develop for healthy growth.
