Storage method of seed ball

The seed ball of Gladiolus will have a natural dormancy period of 2 months after falling in autumn. At this time, keep the seed ball well to ensure that it can germinate normally after dormancy. Under normal circumstances, once the winter is over, the seed ball can germinate in early spring in February. However, it is relatively cold in the north, so you can plant it from March to April. During this period, you should pay attention to ventilation and dryness

Normal temperature preservation: wrap the seed ball directly with newspaper or net bag and put it in a cool and ventilated corner

Low temperature preservation: put the seed balls in the refrigerator and freezer for preservation

Precautions for Gladiolus seed retention

Try to plant with new soil every year. If it is maintained in the open, try to change the location
