What are gladioli?
Gladioli, the plural of Gladiolus is grown from structures similar to bulbs called Corms, which are planted in the ground at the beginning of spring and blooms for most of July and August. This very easy growth of flowers grows as quite high, anywhere from 2-5 feet (0.61-1.52 meters). Gladioli comes in every shade that can be imagined from white to black and produces a stem similar to a stem that grows large flowers in the spikes.
The flowers of these flowers are charming and trumpets similar, while petals can be dissolved, released or waved. They work well in any floral garden with different flowering perennials. We usually take care of them when they are grown in groups or neat rows. This makes it easier to pull weeds and plant care than if they were sporadically planted throughout the garden. Areas that have much colder victories require a little more maintenance in Corms care to make sure they stay healthy throughout the winter. Planting of different sizes CORM provides differentNot the size and colors of Gladioli, resulting in greater diversity into the flower garden.
When shopping Corms, it is necessary to find healthy. Healthy and better CORMS results in much fuller flowers and better gladioli. When shopping Corms there are two things to look for. Thin or flat korms should be prevented because they will not provide good flowers.
Gladioli works great and last long when they are cut and placed in fresh floral arrangements. They grow the brightest and very robust when they are grown in full sunlight. Their planting in full sunlight will help store more plant energy for the growth of the following year. Gladioli prefer well -drained soil with added fertilizer and then the rocker comes alone if it is correctly prepared at the beginning.
When planting CORM, wind protection should be considered very much. Strong winds candamage gladioli and knock them. If gladioli is grown in clusters, bets can be placed to help them support them.
Gladioli may have problems with various diseases and pests. Soft corm, yellowing of the plant or stunted growth are all signs of the disease. Plants showing any signs of the disease should be immediately discarded to prevent the infestation of other plants. Thrips is a small insect that is suitable for a flowering part of the plant while it is still in the bud. Corms can be sprayed and treated before storage for winter every year to prevent infestation.
