| I *know* this must have been asked before, but I can't find the answer. I am dividing my dahlias now. How long should I let the cut heal/dry before I pot them? I will be potting them, but not watering, and keeping them inside. I feel so silly asking this. I've had great luck storing my dahlias over the winter and haven't lost many for the past two years. But I never write down how long I let the cuts heal!!
I promise I will write it down this time.

| I plant them right away in moist soil, I have never left the wounds to heal. Hopefully someone else will chime in. Keriann~ |

| I have had great success with planting 'fresh' wounds. I have about 60 started now... I ran out of room or I would have 200 more stated :) They are all about 10-18" tall now and nice and stocky/bushy. keriann~ |
