Does this mean I should have divided this tuber? I know it needs a bigger container and more soil. But all the sprouts are making me think I should have tried to split it before sprouting. I honestly thought I didn’t overwinter them properly so pleasantly surprised!

    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.

    Not necessarily. Its very hard to see the eyes before they sprout and its better to err on the side of too many. And remember that in many places, people don’t dig them up and divide them every single year and they grow just fine. Looks like you’re gonna have a very healthy, full plant!
