Have had a look at my Dahlia tubers and notice some have white mould. I read somewhere about cleaning with mild bleach and water???

    I just rub it off with an old tooth brush, no liquid.

    As long as the tubers are firm, and still viable,  that's the easiest method.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    If they're squishy, snip them off with scissors.

    Thanks for that. Is it too early to put them up as last year they took forever to come on?  I am going to try a cupboard in house with good light?

    Oops meant pot them up.

    You have a cupboard with good light??
    Anyway, you won't need light until the leaves show.

    Yes it is an old house and large cupboard has a velux  window.
