Planting instructions
Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in holes about 4-6 inches deep. Make sure the pointed end is facing up. In containers, choose a pot at least 8-10 inches deep, and plant the bulbs at the same depth, 4-6 inches below the soil's surface.
Growing Requirements
Pests
Keep an eye out for aphids, thrips, and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to deter them. Gladiolus may be susceptible to rust and botrytis. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent these diseases.
soil
Well-draining soil is key. A mix of garden soil and organic compost works well. Gladiolus prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
spot
Choose a sunny spot for planting, as gladiolus adore sunlight. 6-8 hours of direct sunlight is ideal.
temperature
Gladiolus thrive in temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). They love warmth and sunlight.
watering
Water consistently but not excessively. Keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base to prevent bulb rot.
how to harvest
When the bottom 2-3 flowers on the stalk start to open, it's time to harvest. Cut the stem at an angle, leaving a few inches for a vase. Place in water immediately to enjoy beautiful bouquets. With the right care, you'll have stunning blooms to brighten your garden or create lovely flower arrangements.
