FAQ about Gladiolus – Classic

What kind of soil suits gladioli best?
Gladioli grow best in a sunny spot in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. The soil must drain freely, as the corms rot easily in wet ground. Plant the corms 10-15 cm deep once the soil has warmed in spring.
How often should gladioli be watered?
Water regularly but moderately during growth and flowering, two to three times a week in dry spells. The soil should be moist but not wet. Water in the morning at the base of the plant.
Should gladioli be cut back after flowering?
Cut off the faded flower spike after flowering to stop seed forming, but leave the leaves until they yellow, usually six to eight weeks after flowering. The leaves are needed so that the corm can store energy for next season.
Which pests and diseases can affect gladioli?
Gladiolus thrips is the most common pest and causes silvery streaks on the leaves and flowers. Fungal diseases and corm rot can occur in damp conditions. Check the corms when storing them and throw away any soft or damaged ones.
How do I overwinter gladiolus corms?
Gladioli are not frost-hardy. Lift the corms when the leaves have yellowed, cut the stems back to 2-3 cm and dry them somewhere airy for two to three weeks. Store them frost-free at about 5-10°C in a box with dry compost, sand or newspaper, and replant in spring.
