Preparation of gladiolus bulbs before plantingChoose pure varieties that are free of diseases and have a plump and not shriveled shape. Remember to disinfect them before planting. This can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases and pests, and the gladiolus will grow better. How to plant gladiolus bulbstemperatureGladiolus likes a warm environment and cannot tolerate cold, so it is necessary to do a good job of keeping warm when growing it in winter. It is best to keep the temperature above 20℃ and not below 0℃ to prevent frostbite. soilIt is best to choose fertile sandy soil with a granular structure, loose and breathable, and good drainage. If there is no other way, you can choose other soils, as long as they have good drainage, otherwise it will cause root rot. depthIt is most appropriate to cover about 10 centimeters of the potting soil, which is more conducive to its growth. WateringAfter sowing, remember to check the dryness and wetness of the soil from time to time. If the weather is dry and there is no rain, you need to keep the soil moist. Once the seedlings come out, you need to control the water supply appropriately. It is better to water less in general. It is best not to keep the soil moist for a long time. It is okay to be a little dry, but don't let it be too dry. And be sure to use clean, unpolluted water when watering. weedingDuring the seedling stage, gladiolus is easily harmed by weeds, so you must weed frequently. You can spray herbicides after planting the bulbs. This will help prevent weeds from absorbing nutrients that should belong to the gladiolus. FertilizationWhen the plant has more than 6 leaves, you can apply fertilizer. It is best to choose compound fertilizer and do not give too much nitrogen fertilizer. Picking flower buds About 4 months after the bulbs are planted, some of them will bloom. At this time, the flower buds and flower spikes need to be removed to ensure the supply of nutrients to the bulbs. illuminationGladiolus likes an environment with sufficient light and can be exposed to full sunlight. The light is not very strong in winter and does not need shade. If there is not enough light, gladiolus cannot be grown well, and in such cool conditions in winter, it needs more sunlight. AirPay attention to the freshness and breathability of the air. Gladiolus is very sensitive to oxides, so remember to provide it with a pollution-free growing environment. This is the introduction to the methods of planting gladiolus in Mid-Autumn and Winter. I hope it will be helpful to flower lovers. |
