Water: Dahlia 'Tahiti Sunrise' requires ample water due to its large leaves but is susceptible to root rot from excess moisture. Water promptly during droughts and ensure drainage in wet conditions. Seedlings need less water, while mature plants require increased amounts. Watering is best before sunrise or after sunset.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Tahiti Sunrise' requires fertile soil with thin liquid fertilizer applied every 10-15 days. Use nitrogen early, then phosphate-potassium later. Stop fertilization when flower buds show color and avoid during high temperatures. Signs of deficiency include light leaves; scorched margins suggest excess fertilizer.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Tahiti Sunrise' thrives with early spring pruning by removing dead stems and shaping healthy growth. Pinching tips encourages bushiness and more blooms. Regular deadheading during the growing season further enhances flower production, ensuring a vibrant and flourishing garden centerpiece.

Propagation: Propagation methods for dahlia 'Tahiti Sunrise' include root division, cutting, and sowing. Root division produces seedlings from tubers at 15℃. The cutting method involves inserting 3-5 cm buds in moist sandy soil, with high survival rates at temperatures above 25℃. Sowing is used for breeding; blooming occurs 1-2 years later.
