Learn how to tell if dahlia tubers are dead, including storage tips, signs of unhealthy tubers and how to pre-sprout questionable tubers.

When storing dahlia tubers the best time is after the first hard frost. Here is the process to store those dahlia tubers.

Cut back the stems and then dig up the tubers. Make sure to trim them a few inches from the ground.

After digging them up, label the tubers for planting for the next season.

Clean the tubers gently with a soft brush and let them dry completely.

Store the tubers in vermiculite, slightly moistened peat moss, or perlite. Make sure to prevent the tubers from touching to avoid rot.

If the tubers are squishy, shriveled, or moldy that is a good sign they are no longer healthy and to avoid planting them.
