How to grow gladiolus

1. Lighting

It likes light very much and should be given light all day during maintenance, with at least 14 hours of light a day. Only in this way can it bloom normally. If there is a lack of light, the number of flowers will decrease and it will be easy to cause various diseases.

2. Temperature

During maintenance, it is best to provide it with an environment between 20 and 35 degrees. It has poor cold resistance, so pay attention to temperature control in winter to avoid frostbite. However, if the temperature in summer exceeds 35 degrees, you should also pay attention to cooling down in time, otherwise the flowers will be burned.

3. Watering

When breeding, pay attention to the amount of watering, neither too much nor too little water. Too much water can cause waterlogging and root rot, while too little water can cause the leaves to turn yellow and become lifeless. It is best to water according to the weather. In summer, water more and spray more, and in autumn, control the watering when the temperature drops.

4. Soil

When breeding, use fertile, loose and slightly acidic soil. It must not be alkaline or too sticky, which will seriously affect growth. In addition, drainage must be good, and no compaction should occur during the growth period, otherwise it will affect the flowering effect.
