Hey everybody,

First post on here. Recently moved to TN and started a lawn care company and am slowly building stock for a small nursery/cut-flower business. Looking into adding dahlia's to the list next spring and just have a quick question for those of you that take cuttings. I spent some time searching around here for the answer but couldn't seem to find what I was looking for.

That said, I'm just curious what everyone who takes cuttings does with the tuber after the cuttings are taken. I read somewhere (not sure if it was here or elsewhere online) that there's some controversy as to what to do with the tuber after cuttings are taken. Do you just plant it or wait until it sends up more shoots, or allow it to go dormant? Everything I found online didn't mention any process for the tuber after the cuttings are taken.

Appreciate any thoughts!
