My dahlia tubers are all coming up now and they each have 3 to 6 stalks coming up. I planted one tuber to a pot. I think they pots are plenty big for the actual tuber to triple in size without touching any sides. Should I allow all the stalks to grow or do I need to only allow the nicest, strongist one to grow? Also, please let me know if they need to be pinched and how. I understood the terminal buds (when they come) could be pinched off to create a larger central bloom. Here's what one was looking like a week ago.
