Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Soil Preparation: Gladiolus thrive in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Ensure that the planting area receives full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.
-
Planting Depth: Dig a hole about 4-6 inches deep for each seed. Space the seeds around 6 inches apart to allow enough room for growth.
-
Sowing: Place the Gladiolus seed in the hole with the pointed end facing upward. Gently cover the seed with soil and lightly press down to eliminate air pockets.
-
Watering: Water the seeds immediately after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period, but avoid waterlogging. Once the plants are established, water them deeply, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
-
Temperature: Gladiolus seeds prefer a warm environment. Plant them when the soil temperature reaches around 65°F (18°C) for optimal growth.
-
Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer when planting. You can also feed your Gladiolus plants with a high-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage strong blooms.
-
Support: As the plants grow, provide support for the tall stems by staking them, especially in windy areas, to prevent breakage.
-
Aftercare: Once blooming begins, remove any spent flowers to encourage new growth. At the end of the season, dig up the bulbs, clean them, and store them in a cool, dry place for replanting the following year.
