| Propagation methods: seeds, tuber division, cuttings. Hollow Dahlia is propagated by seeds to selection purposes. Seeds are sown at the end of March. Seedlings are replanted at 5-7 cm space after the last frosts. It is recommended to propagate by cuttings. Tubers are planted in boxes between March and April and placed in greenhouses at 12-15°C temperature. When shoots are 5-10 cm high, they are cut and planted in pots with sandy soil. Pots are stored in hot beds at 18-20°C temperature. Rooting takes place in 15-18 days. Replanted after the last frosts. |
