🌱 Product Introduction

Gladiolus Seeds produce elegant, tall flowering plants with striking blooms in a wide range of vibrant colors, including red, pink, purple, yellow, and white.

These beautiful flowers are also great for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies to your garden.

🌞 Growth Characteristics

• Light Requirements: 🌞 Prefers full sun. Gladiolus needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce the best blooms.

• Temperature Requirements: 🌡️ Thrives in warm temperatures ranging from 18°C to 30°C. They can tolerate light frosts but are best planted after the last frost to avoid cold damage.

• Soil Requirements: 🌱 Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Ensure soil is loose and not too compacted for optimal root growth.

• Water Requirements: 💧 Enjoys regular watering but does not like soggy soil. Water consistently but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to avoid rot.

• Growth Cycle: 🌿 Gladiolus grows actively in spring and summer, with flowers blooming in mid-summer. They enter dormancy in the fall after flowering and can be dug up for replanting in the next season.

🌱 Planting Guide

1. Choose the Right Location: 🌞 Plant Gladiolus in a spot that gets full sun (at least 6 hours of sunlight a day) to encourage strong blooms.

2. Soil Preparation: 🌱 Prepare the soil by mixing in organic compost to improve fertility and drainage. Gladiolus thrives in slightly acidic to neutral soil.

3. Sowing: 🌱 Plant seeds or corms about 4-6 inches deep, spaced 4-6 inches apart. Ensure they are planted in a well-drained area with enough sunlight.

4. Watering and Fertilizing: 💧 Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid soaking the soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.

5. Temperature Control: 🌡️ Gladiolus grows best in warm temperatures. If you live in an area with harsh winters, consider digging up the corms after the first frost and storing them indoors for the winter.

6. Support and Maintenance: 🌿 As Gladiolus grows tall, use stakes to support the plant and prevent it from toppling over, especially in windy conditions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

• 🌿 Why are the flowers on my Gladiolus plant not opening fully?
  Gladiolus may not bloom fully if it isn’t receiving enough sunlight. Ensure the plant is getting at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to promote healthy blooming.

• 🌸 When should I dig up my Gladiolus corms?
  After the first frost, when the leaves start to yellow and die back, it’s time to dig up the corms. Store them in a cool, dry place for winter and replant them in spring.

• 💧 How can I prevent fungal diseases in my Gladiolus?
  Avoid watering directly on the foliage and ensure the soil drains well to prevent standing water, which can cause fungal infections. Use fungicides if necessary.

• 🌱 Why is my Gladiolus plant not flowering?
  Gladiolus may not flower if it isn’t getting enough sunlight or if it’s planted in poor, compacted soil. Make sure it’s getting plenty of sun and that the soil is loose and well-drained.
