Watering New Dahlia

Question

Hi! I just planted 3 new Dahlia zhysomes in large pots 2 days ago. I’m wondering how much to water them? Do they need to be constantly wet, or will this be too much & cause rot? They are in full sun. Thank you.

Answer 1

Water until it runs out of the container's drainage holes, then don't water again until the soil is completely dry down to about 2 or 3 inches.

This will not be on a schedule, and will only need to be watered after the soil dries down to that depth. This article will help you with their care:
