My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Dahlia over watered

8 years ago
help how to save my Dahlia I over watered and the leaves around the edges are dry and crispy

    The leaves are curling too and that's a sign of a need for water. It also looks like you watered in the heat of the day because there are brown burnt spots on the leaves. Never water the plant--water the soil. I water until the water lays on the soil and then I don't water until the ground shows signs that it needs water. I use the soaker setting on my wand and my finger as a guage to see how far the water has gone or if the plant needs water. If the soil feels moist when I stick my finger all the way into the soil I don't water. After I water I do that same finger test to see how deep the water went. Sometimes you think the plant is watered but only the top of the soil is wet
