Water dahlia 'My Love' on sunny days, preferably before and after sunrise or sunset, ensuring good drainage during rainfall.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'My Love' thrives in fertile soil and requires a thin nitrogen-rich liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days during seedling growth, switching to phosphate-potassium in later stages. Fertilization should stop once flower buds show color and be avoided in high temperatures. Monitor leaf appearance for fertilization balance.

Pruning: Prune dahlia 'My Love' in early spring to encourage healthy growth and blooms. Remove dead stems and thin overcrowded areas for better air circulation. Cut above a leaf node for bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease and promote healing.
