Water: Dahlia 'Vancouver' requires abundant water due to its large leaves but is susceptible to root rot from excess moisture. It needs immediate watering in drought and proper drainage in wet conditions. Young seedlings need less water, while mature plants require increased watering on sunny days, preferably at dawn or dusk.

Fertilize: Dahlia 'Vancouver' thrives in fertile soil, requiring a thin liquid fertilizer every 10-15 days. Use nitrogen-rich fertilizers early, switching to phosphate-potassium later. Fertilization should cease when flower buds color, and avoid during high temperatures. Adjust amounts based on plant condition; symptoms indicate nutrient deficiency or excess.

Pruning: Dahlia 'Vancouver' boasts vibrant blooms and striking foliage. Prune in early spring, cutting old stems to ground level for new growth. Deadhead flowers for continuous blooms, thin overcrowded stems for better air circulation, and promptly remove damaged foliage to enhance health and flowering potential.

Propagation: Propagation of dahlia 'Vancouver' primarily involves cutting, root division, and sowing. Root division yields high survival rates, while cuttings, taken at 3-5 cm buds, root in moist sandy soil at temperatures above 25℃. Sowing is used for breeding, with blooms appearing 1-2 years later.
