tuber check

I just checked my tubers and most of them are all dried up. The tubers are shriveled? I don't know if I should bye new ones before they are sold out or take a chance on these? This didn't happen last winter and nothing has changed.

RE: tuber check

If your tubers are all dried up, I would start shopping around...be sure to check or maybe you already know if there is a local dahlia club..they usually have a tuber sale in the spring...I wouldn't just throw the tubers out...spray them down with water, let them sit a few days and spray again, might get a few to survive...good luck

RE: tuber check

Thank you. I ran upstairs and ordered more of my favorites just in case. I will probably be planting in the street if they all take. I sprayed them down.

How about giving them a nice long soak in the tub for a few hours. I did that last year and some plumped back up. Then dry them like usual and restore. How were you storing them before?
