Still no roots showing in dahlia cup cutting taken six weeks ago. Not sure what this means. It has taken and is growing;it is also flowering. When cuttings are rooted in spring, roots are usually visible at the bottom of the pot within four weeks, often sooner. I know a 500ml (pint) beer pot is much deeper, but they should have got down there by now. What's the reason?
- dahlia roots are 'photophobic' (light-hating) and are keeping out of sight
- dahlias do not produce roots whilst flowering
- a pest is destroying the roots
Either or all - or even something completely different - could be the problem. Growing is a mysterious process.
