Was reading on another thread about how they took some of their buds off.

How do you know when and where on the plant to disbud. From what I am understanding, which could be totally wrong, you disbud to get bigger flowers. How do you know about how many a plant will make?

I have these visions of tryign to disbud and then not havign any flowers at all. if it weird or unusual it can and does happen to me, so this a real possibility for me to take one to many buds off and only have green foliage all year. LOL

Also if ya disbud, do Dahlias make another branch from off where you took the bud or not?
