If you are an active gardener, here’s a bit of advice on
growing Gladiolus that can be of much help to you if you are planning to
beautify your garden with flowers this season.
The first and foremost step is acquiring bulbs of the
highest quality. To make sure your bulbs bloom, it is very important that they
are of good quality. Also make sure they are thick and hard and not soggy.
Thick and hard bulbs have a better chance of blooming as compared to the soggy
ones.
Next is planting those bulbs. Make sure you plant them the right way with the right end inside the soil and the other one out of it. Plant the bulb three forth submerged in soil.
A great way to make sure your bulbs grow healthy and bloom well is planting them in Magic soil or Potting soil. This is a special soil which is light and absorbs huge amount of water releasing it only when the plant needs it. This helps ensure healthy growth of the plant.

As for the growing conditions, Gladiolus grows well in
bright sunshine and prefers it. But partial shade will also do well for them.
Planting should also be done strategically to ensure a
longer blooming season. Never plant a single bulb. It may or may not bloom.
Always plant bulbs in batches of at least 4 – 5. Once you plant a batch of 4 -5
bulbs, plant one more batch after 2 weeks and repeat this after every 2 weeks
at least 3 to 4 times. This ensures a longer blooming season for the flowers.
