1、 How to grow Gladiolus

1. Ploughing: if you want to make Gladiolus grow rapidly, blossom more and have more babies, you must plant it in the ground, and plant it in loose and fertile soil. Before planting each time, plough and fertilize it, and mix farm manure into the soil, such as pig manure, chicken manure, etc

2. Planting: Gladiolus likes the sun. When planting in the ground, it should be planted where there is no building to block the light. The seed bulbs should be buried upward and the roots should be buried downward in the soil. The soil covering thickness is 5-10cm. Deep burial is conducive to keeping the plant flower stems straight, not easy to fall down, and creating conditions for the growth of upper roots

3. Maintenance: after planting, the soil is compacted by hand, and there is no need to take care of it if it is watered once. Gladiolus can grow and bloom by itself. Wait until 1 / 3 of the stems and leaves on the ground are withered and yellow in autumn, and cut off the dry stems and leaves after pilling

4. Pilling: the small ball separated from the mother ball shall be picked and broken off. The dug seed ball shall be placed in a cool and ventilated place for drying. After drying two layers of skin, the seed ball shall be placed in a ventilated and dry place, and the temperature shall not be lower than 0 ℃. The seed ball shall be planted in the next year

2、 When is Gladiolus best planted

Most modern hybrid Gladiolus plants bulbous roots in spring, that is, they are planted in spring every year, bloom in summer, harvest seed balls in autumn, dormant in winter, dig out the seed balls at the end of autumn every year, and continue to plant them in the next spring
