Description: Growing dahlias from seeds using the wet paper method, also known as the paper towel germination method, is a simple and effective way to start your dahlias. Here's how to do it:Materials Needed:Dahlia seedsPaper towelsPlastic zip-lock bag or airtight containerSpray bottle with waterPotting soilPots or seed traysPrepare the Seeds:Moisten the Paper Towel:Wet a paper towel with water using the spray bottle. The paper towel should be damp but not dripping wet.Spread the paper towel flat on a clean surface.Place the Seeds:Arrange the dahlia seeds on one half of the damp paper towel, leaving some space between each seed.Fold the other half of the paper towel over the seeds to cover them.Bagging:Place the folded paper towel with the seeds inside a plastic zip-lock bag or an airtight container. This creates a mini greenhouse environment that maintains humidity.Germination:Store the bag or container in a warm place (around 70-75°F or 21-24°C). Avoid direct sunlight, but ensure the area is well-lit.Check the paper towel every few days to ensure it remains moist. If it starts to dry out, lightly mist it with water.Seeds should start to germinate within 7-14 days. Look for tiny roots emerging from the seeds.Planting Sprouted Seeds:Once the seeds have sprouted, carefully transfer them to pots or seed trays filled with potting soil.Plant the sprouted seeds with the root facing down, just below the surface of the soil. Gently press the soil around the seedling.Water the soil lightly to settle it around the seedling.Care for Seedlings:Place the pots or trays in a bright, warm location with indirect sunlight.Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.When the seedlings have developed a few true leaves, you can transplant them to their final growing location, whether it's in the garden or larger pots.By following these steps, you can successfully germinate dahlia seeds using the wet paper method and eventually enjoy the beautiful blooms of these stunning flowers
