Dahlia Cactus Mix Flower is a type of dahlia that produces large, vibrant blooms with pointed, spiky petals that give them a cactus-like appearance. These flowers typically bloom in the late summer and fall and require moderate sunlight and well-draining soil to thrive.
Highlights:
- Full-bloom Period: Spring
- Size: Small
- Quantity: 80 pieces
- Soil requirements: Dahlias prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Dahlias thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They can tolerate partial shade but may produce fewer flowers.
- Watering requirements: Dahlias need regular watering, especially during dry periods. Water deeply once or twice a week, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Dahlia Cactus Mix Flower Seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed and the soil has warmed up.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds about 1/4 inch deep in the soil. Space the seeds or seedlings 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Dahlia seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Dahlias usually reach maturity and begin to bloom about 8-10 weeks after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest dahlia flowers is early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the temperatures are cooler.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. Make the cut just above a leaf node to encourage new growth. Store the cut flowers in a cool, dark place in water to prolong their freshness. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to promote continuous flowering.
