Cultivation methods and precautions of gladiolus

1. Breeding methods

1. Potting soil: It has high requirements for soil and requires sandy, well-drained soil. When choosing a flower pot, choose one with small holes at the bottom to allow it to breathe.

2. Watering: Water differently at different times. When the seedlings are small, water them once every 10 days or so. In summer, when the temperature is high, water them once every 4 days or so. Do not water them too much to avoid yellowing and withering of the leaf tips. You can control the amount of water during flowering to delay the flowering period.

3. Fertilization: It is a fertilizer-loving plant. Apply decomposed liquid fertilizer. Do not apply it indiscriminately. 3-4 times a month is enough. It is best to apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers so that the number of flower buds can increase.

4. Temperature: It has very high requirements for temperature, which will affect its growth. The most suitable temperature for gladiolus to bloom is 25℃, and it only takes 60-70 days to bloom. The lower the temperature, the slower the flowering.

2. Precautions

1. The temperature most suitable for its growth cannot be as high as 27℃, and high temperature and lack of ventilation cannot occur.

2. Protect the bulbs after the flowers fade.
