Oddly enough nearly all garden plants like a slightly acidic soil and dahlias are no exception. They will be very happy at about pH 6.5 or even a bit lower.

What does an alkali fertilizer do to an acid soil?

As in all acid-base (alkali) reactions, it will reduce the acidity of the soil and, if there is an excess of base to acid, it can make the soil become alkaline. The soil will be less acidic if base is less than acidity, become neutral (if base = acidity), or become alkaline if base is greater than acidity.


What kind of soil do dahlias like -- How deep do you plant them?

Dahlias thrive in well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0, enriched with organic matter like compost. They prefer loamy or sandy soil that retains moisture but allows excess water to drain away. When planting dahlias, tubers should be buried approximately 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the size of the tuber and local conditions. Ensure they are planted in a location that receives full sun for optimal growth and blooming.
