indoor dahlia

20 years ago

New to all of this....was given a potted dahlia as a gift. It is now growing long vines - right now it has 3 vines about 18 inches long. But the pot is getting too small and the vines are unruly. What should I do with it? In Northern NJ so I think it might be too cold to plant now. Are dahlias the type of plant that I can cut back and it will regrow? Thanks for the help in advance!

Was the plant labeled dahlia. Dahlias grow in a sort of bush style and not a vine. If it is a dahlia, let it dry out, and there should be tubers in the soil. You can store the tubers in a cool place like a basement, just keep them from freezing. In spring, they can be taken out, watered and given light, and then fertilized and that is it.
