So... I have been overwintering a couple Dahlias inside, some may know I cut them down and treated the soil / tubers to deal with a case of Powdery mildew, (Although aparently skim milk may have been a less drastic measure!) They have been growing on and doing well for several weeks now, no sign of white powder, so... I was thinking about taking some cuttings and seeing if I can propogate some more that way...

What is the best way to do this??

Good information is at the link below. Plantlady and crdahlia can offer up more firsthand info, among others. Do a google search of dahlia cuttings for many more links available.

Here is a link that might be useful: Dahlias.net link

Thanks; I forgot about that site.

It has been a week since I planted up many of my sister tubers to these plants, they are starting to sprout! I am so excited! I am going to have to grow them on indoors for about another 4 months, no easy task, however they where so small last year I was sure I could not keep them viable for too much longer in storage...

So... i may end up just using the sprout method with many of the extra sprouts.... I want to have a huge greenhouse next year, but alas, I only have a south facing picture window this year!!
