Hello Dahlia community 👋🏻
So I’m a complete noob with keeping flowers and having a garden ( just got my first ever garden ) I’m just wandering if I could get some general advice. Are my pots the correct size being the most simple question? And can someone explain to me what deadheading and pinching actually mean? Like am I cutting the heads off as soon as they start dying? Or waiting till they completely die before cutting? Also how far down? I’ve seen info saying to cut down to the nearest off shoot and some saying to cut an inch or so below the flower. I also have no idea what pinching means? Hope you’re all having a good summer. Thank you 😁

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.
