Planting & Sowing Instructions:
-
Site Selection: Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil. Gladiolus thrive in full sun, so ensure they receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
-
Planting Time: Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in the spring after the last frost date. In cooler climates, wait until the soil has warmed up to around 60°F (15°C).
-
Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 6-8 inches. Incorporate organic compost to improve soil fertility and drainage.
-
Planting Depth: Plant Gladiolus bulbs 4-6 inches deep (about 10-15 cm) with the pointed end facing up. Space the bulbs 4-6 inches apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
-
Watering: After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil. Keep the soil moist but not soggy during the growing season. Gladiolus require regular watering, especially during dry spells.
-
Support: As Gladiolus grow tall, you may need to stake the plants to support their long stems and prevent them from falling over.
-
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms.
-
Harvesting: Gladiolus flowers are perfect for cut arrangements. Harvest them when the bottom flowers begin to open, cutting the stems at an angle.
-
Overwintering (Optional): In colder regions, dig up the bulbs after the first frost to protect them from winter damage. Store them in a cool, dry place until next spring.
