How to grow gladioli

Place

In the shade, the gladiolus will not bloom, so we choose a sunny place. In addition, if it is also protected from the wind, then it’s generally wonderful. The peduncle of the gladiolus is quite high, and very often it happens that the wind breaks it off.

Soil for gladiolus

Estimate the triple height of the bulb - this is the depth you should make a hole for planting.

Arrange low varieties in front of taller ones.

Fertilizer

You can increase the nutritional value of the soil by applying a complex fertilizer, for example, nitroammophoska. You should not put a lot in the hole; a teaspoon is enough for each hole. But it must be well mixed with the soil so that the fertilizer does not come into contact with the tubers and the soil is moistened.

When does gladiolus begin to bloom after planting

Flowering of early varieties of gladiolus begins in late July, medium early and medium late bloom in late August - early September. Late varieties of gladioli bloom in September-October.

By following all the tips and tricks from growing experts and fertilizer instructions, you will be able to grow a beautiful and healthy plant that will delight you with its flowering.
