How to Plant & Grow Indian Dahlia Bulbs

1. Soil Preparation

• Use well-draining soil 50% Sandy Soil (Bhall) and 50% vermicomoist.

• Soil should be loose and airy to prevent bulb rot.

2. Planting Depth & Spacing

• Plant bulbs 4 - 6 inches deep.

• Keep 12 - 18 inches spacing between each bulb for proper growth.

3. Sunlight Requirement

• Indian Dahlia needs full sun (5 - 6 hours daily) for best flowering.

4. Watering

• After planting, water lightly.

• Do not overwater—bulbs can rot in wet soil.

• Once shoots appear, water when the topsoil becomes dry.

5. Fertilizer

• At planting: Mix well-rotted compost or organic fertilizer in the soil.

• After sprouting: Apply NPK 10-10-10 or flower booster fertilizer every 15 - 20 days.

• Avoid too much nitrogen -  it increases leaves and reduces flowers.

6. Care & Maintenance

• Remove faded blooms to encourage new flowers (deadheading).

• Provide support (stakes) for tall varieties to prevent bending.

• Protect from snails and aphids with neem spray or organic pest control.

Flowering

• Blooms start 8 - 10 weeks after planting.

• Continuous blooming through late winter and spring.

After Flowering (Optional)

• When the plant dries, you can dig up the bulbs, clean them, dry for 4 - 5 days, and store them in a cool place for the next season.
