Planting Instructions

Plant the bulbs approximately 8–10 cm deep in loose, fertile and well-draining soil, with the pointed end facing upward. Space them about 10–15 cm apart. A 10–12 inch pot can hold 2–3 bulbs.

Water thoroughly after planting, then keep the soil lightly moist. Shoots usually appear in 2–3 weeks. Use containers with proper drainage holes and avoid waterlogging, as wet soil can rot the bulbs.

For a longer flowering season, plant the bulbs in batches 2–3 weeks apart.

Light and Water Requirements

Gladiolus needs full sunlight, ideally 6–8 hours of direct sun daily, for strong spikes and good flowering.

Water when the upper layer of soil begins to dry. Keep the soil moderately moist during active growth and flowering, but avoid overwatering.

Plant Care

Add well-decomposed compost or a balanced flowering-plant fertiliser once the leaves are about 15 cm tall, and again when the flower spike appears. Tall spikes may need a stick for support, especially in windy spots.

Flowering usually begins 70–90 days after planting. For vases, cut the spike when the lowest 2–3 buds start to show colour; the rest will open indoors.

After flowering, let the leaves remain until they turn yellow naturally. Then lift the bulbs, dry them in shade and store them in a cool, dry place for the next season.
