How to grow gladiolus

1. Potting soil

Many people choose sandy soil when growing gladiolus because such soil is more suitable for its growth. This kind of soil has the characteristics of good drainage and air permeability. The best thing is that it is not easy to produce water accumulation, which is of great benefit for later maintenance.

2. Water

In the early stages of breeding, you don't need to pay too much attention to watering. It is enough to water it once every ten days or eight days. In the hot summer, watering it once every four or five days is enough. During the period of vigorous growth, you can water it a little more appropriately. If you find that the soil in the pot has become slightly dry, you should water it in time. But be careful not to have too much, as water accumulation will cause trouble.

3. Sunlight

It needs plenty of sunlight at all times, especially when it is moved indoors in winter, it also needs to be provided with sufficient light. During normal cultivation, it can be allowed to receive light throughout the day. If it is hot in summer, it can be shaded for a short time to prevent sunburn on the leaves.
