Default Dahlia's

Anticipating my house move, I planted a couple of my dahlia
tubers in large pots.

They seem to have grown fine, but there are no flowers on them!
There seems to be a small bud at the tip of each shoot, which
has not done anything.

I know they have been a bit mistreated during the move,
holidays etc, with some dry periods, and at one stage being
left standing in water for a week.

Whist I'm not too concerned about the lack of flowers, I am
hoping the tubers will survive for next year and was wondering
if/what I could do to help them?
