I am a newbie to this so I am seeking advice! I received these 3 Natal Dahlia tubers with some growth shoots. It has been rainy outside and gloomy. I wanted to do the ziploc method to “wake up” my dahlia tubers.
1. Is the ziploc bag necessary at this stage or do I plant in a container until I see stems peak from soil?
2. Do I keep under grow lights until the full sun comes back?
3. Today is day 1 and I mixed pre-moistened miracle grow potting soil, we the roots succulent soil, and some coco moss, placed tuber in ziploc, pierced holes in bag for airflow, sealed to trap some humidity, then left under grow lights (soil mixture was to increase drainage). Let me know if wrong..

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.
