Gladiolus is a very popular flower, especially with its long, thin leaves and bright flowers, which look full of unique beauty. If you want to keep the gladiolus healthy, you need to pay attention 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, which makes 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, so that the gladiolus can better absorb nutrients and bloom beautifully.
2. Sufficient Light
Gladiolus is a typical long-day flowering plant. The more sunlight it gets, the faster it will grow. It is best to provide gladiolus with more than 14 hours of sunlight exposure every day, only in this way can its flower buds develop healthily. If it lacks sunlight for a long time, some of the small flowers on the plant will wither, the flowers will become sparse, and the chances 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 gladiolus in a warm room and adjust the temperature of its environment in time to prevent it from being frostbitten. The growth temperature of gladiolus needs to be controlled between 21-35 degrees Celsius. The highest indoor temperature should not exceed 35 degrees Celsius, or the gladiolus may be burnt by high temperatures.
4. Proper Watering
Gladiolus has strict requirements for watering, so you must control the amount when watering. If you water too much, it is easy for the plant's roots to rot, and if you water 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 its blooming period.
