Gladiolus is a very popular flower, especially with its long, thin leaves paired with bright flowers, giving off a unique sense of beauty. To ensure healthy growth of gladiolus, attention should be paid to the following points. Let's take a look together.
1. Choosing Soil
Gladiolus does not have high requirements for soil like other expensive flowers, making it more popular with the public. Generally speaking, gladiolus prefers deep, slightly acidic, loose, and fertile sandy soil. The most important thing is that the soil should have good drainage and not easily become compacted, allowing the gladiolus to better absorb nutrients and bloom well.
2. Sufficient Light
Gladiolus is a typical long-day flowering plant. The more sunlight it gets, the faster it grows. It is best to provide the gladiolus with more than 14 hours of sunlight exposure every day, only then can its flower buds differentiate healthily. If there is a long-term lack of sunlight, some small flowers on the plant will wither, the flowers will become sparse, and the chance of the plant getting sick will increase.
3. Temperature Requirements
It is not a very cold-resistant flower, so special care is needed in winter. It is best to keep the gladiolus in a warm room and adjust the temperature of its environment in time to prevent it from freezing. The growth temperature of gladiolus needs to be controlled between 21-35 degrees Celsius. The highest indoor temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, otherwise, the gladiolus may be burned by the high temperature.
4. Appropriate Watering
Gladiolus has strict requirements for watering. Therefore, everyone must control the amount of water when watering. If watered too much, it can easily cause the plant's roots to rot, and if watered too little, the gladiolus will become listless and the leaf tips will turn yellow. Remember to spray water on its leaves often, and stop watering during the flowering process to extend the blooming period.
