- This video concludes Harvesting History's series on gladiolas. It describes how to plant gladiolas in containers. The video is narrated by Harvesting History co-founder, Barb Melera. Harvesting History maintains a large collection of gladiolas and cold hardy gladiolas which are available on the Harvesting History Website, www.harvesting-history.com.
I love this lady, She doesn't just assume that we know what to do and takes the time to explains it fully.
I wish more gardening videos were like this one!
A proper, passionate gardener. Thank you from west Wales xx
Wow!! Thank you Anna. I have learned many things from United Kingdom gardeners, in particular, Brian Mathews and his wife. Thank you for the comment.
Get a notebook before you watch. Excellent teacher.
What a sweet and unique comment. Thank you.
Yes, i concur!
I like your style. Most plant channels are more interested in cute editing, what song to put in the background, and trying charm us with irrelevant banter. You don't go for any of that crap. You have my sub, and my respect.
Wow! Thank you. I am ver grateful for your comment.
Why do I love her so much?? Great info!
I wish I had watched before I planted my gladiolas in my garden bed. I did not plant them near deep enough and I now understand why mine flop over. Next year they will be planted deep enough and I will put some into pots too!
Don't forget to plant them at different times so you get extended flowering season! Thanks for sharing!
Another way of doing it that I read about is to plant them in containers at one or two week intervals then rotate the containers in and out of your garden (you can bury them so they look like they were planted with the rest of the plants) . That way, you can always have fresh flowers in the garden. When you pull one pot out to replace it with another, move it to an out-of-the-way place and continue to water and feed until they naturally die back. Then you can harvest the corms and use them to plant the next year.
I actually like the full blooms all at once!
Wonderful teacher,a lot of knowledge, thank u
I love how you got straight to the point and explained everything so well! Thank you, I've just subscribed 🙂
Thank you Seema. Welcome to the Harvesting History channel.
This was excellent, i learned everything i need to know. Thank you!
Thank you Miss Ann for your kind comment. I wish you much success.
Great, thank you for the clarification about depth. I see people planting at 4 inch depth and my package instructions said 8 so I went with the instructions. Glad I did!
I learned this the hard way. But numerous other people or things I read, said only a few inches deep. Each year they were ruined buy laying on the ground. I learned through trial and error. Glad I saw this video and realize, I'm right. Thank you!
Me also same thing everyone always said to plant them shallow and I’ve had to constantly tie them up so they wouldn’t flop over and that’s just Not A Cute lookin the garden 😒now I know better😀
This is the most informative planting video, for gladiolus, I have found. So helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! -Angela
Angela, sorry for the long delayed response. Thank you for the kind comment. it is much appreciated.
I've never heard this flower pronounced the way you do?!? Thanks for this informative video. I'm planting "glads" for the first time this year!
Just the info I needed - to the point with TONS of useful tips!! Thanks from 5b!!
Thanks so much for sharing! It’s very helpful! Have a good spring and wonderful summer!
Thank you so much for a thorough video♥️
Thanks for explaining, and great tips, especially telling the time frame to grow them.
Thank you for the wonderful explanations. Glad you repeat, it elps to remember better.
Great advice! Thank you 😊
Thank you do much for the tutorial. I am going to plant this week.
Girl i love your explaining methods. Teachers could learn from you
Well, I learned from a heck of a lot of them!
Your video and info is awesome and so are you ! Thanks
Amazing explanation. Thank you!!
Tuqa, thank you and thank you for taking your time to view our Harvesting History video.

You're right it doesn't get any easier. I'm planting some as I type this message. Thank you for a professional, thorough video : )
@@livelovelaugh7431 Love your moniker! Thank you for your kind comment.
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much very informative 😊
Annette, you are welcome. Gladiolas are so beautiful and make such stunning cut flowers.
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Garden Detour, you are very welcome. We invite you to visit our Harvesting History website www.harvesting-history.com/ to learn more about your horticultural heritage and growing these beautiful plants.
I wish everyone explained things in this manner!
Thanks 🌼🌺🌼
Were you a teacher? You began the video with a summary statement to keepus focused and organized...LOVE IT!
I love gladiolus very much,,,,,🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
it's great to get tips from grandmothers. always special.
I won't be a grandmother until September, but I can't wait. Thank you for the incredibly sweet comment.
I love glads. Last year they were all born dead though. Maybe it was thrips. I liked your clear, easy-to-understand delivery.
Ty 🙂
You are welcome. Come visit our website to learn more.
Love this! Great explanation at a good pace, also *cough* I love soil dust. 😂🙏
she makes me want to sit up straight and take notes 😊can't to plant mines.
Love watching your videos on bulbs etc in pots🥰 . When these are finished flowering can we store them as is for the winter months? I would also like to know....can I plant my winter flowering gladioli ( gladiolus dalenii ) the same? I live in Johannesburg South Africa. These are our indigenous plants 😊
Yes, you can store them as is. Leave your winter flowering glads in the ground year round.
Mime looks kind of dry, do you think they will grow? I got a box from the store last year.
Can we use this soil for any other corm?
Will they overwinter in pots outside ok? Michigan
We have gladiolas in our yard since we moved here in 1992 and the only way they get to bloom is if I demand my husband to let the “weeds” grow 🙄 they are already up about about 6-8 inches, is it possible to transplant into pots now? Any advice?
Hello! Great video. May I ask how to save or preserve the new corms for next year? Also, what soil mix or amended mix should I use to start the sewing of the corm in a 10in pot? Thank you!
So far, I've learned to uproot the flower, remove the new corm, and store it in a dry place that is not too cold nor too hot. Then plant the new corm the following year. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
If they are in a pot, leave them in the pot and store them in a cool, dry area. Do not water until spring. I separate the corms in the spring. If they are in the ground the suggestion from the other reply is good. I leave the growth on the corm throughout the winter.
Any footage of them in bloom?
How often we have to water it if it's in a pot?
I’ve followed your clear instructions thank you but four weeks in I only have one shoot of the eight corms I planted in individual pots just to give them a head start. Am I being impatient or is it possible they won’t grow. The eight pots are in a greenhouse and I watered them occasionally. Deirdre Ireland
Deidre, it has now been 2 months. Are they up? You may have planted them upside down. If so, they will eventualy find their way to the surface.
How about using a potting soil mix to plant galdiolas bulbs for planting in a container?
Garima, prepared potting soil mixes are too expensive, but if you have the money, they will work.
What temperature is safe to take those pots with bulbs outside? I live in Ohio and is March right now, and the temp varies anywhere between 28 F during nights, to 60 some in daylight.
Should I keep the bulbs inside in these variable conditions?
Maya, I would wait a few weeks until around April 15. If you planted your glads extra deep (6-8 inches) in large enough pots ( 12-14 inch diameter) then now would be OK because the pots are unlikely to freeze solid.
I live in South Carolina. Can I plant the corms in fall or wait until early spring?
Viv, you can plant them in late fall, but plant them a good 6-inches deep in case you get a really bad cold spell.
How come so much soil is required above the glad bulbs, in the pots, other than that the extra soil will prevent the stem from tipping over during growth to flowering stage..thanks..great video
Wayne, the extra soil does 2 things: prevents the stems from blowing over and keeps the stems from wiggling which hurts the roots. Sorry for the delayed response.
@@harvestinghistoryllc3161 thanks
Do you need to put any drainage holes in the pots?
Pat, You absolutely need drainage holes in your pots, in fact several. Perhaps the most lethal factor for all bulbs is rot brought on by bulbs standing in water soaked soil. So, please, put drainage holes in your pots. Thank you for asking the question and helping me to make this clear to others.
Can I able to have the pot on the porch with cover
Hi, do you have to take out the quorms out of the container once the season is over for next year? Thanks!
I am guessing that you live in the southern hemisphere. You can leave the corms in their containers as long as your weather does not get really cold (10-25 degrees farenheit or colder). In fact it is better to leave them in containers. If the corms freeze solid, they will die.
@@harvestinghistoryllc3161 Thanks! That's great.
@@ericarimbuyutan9063 You are most welcome!
Time to plant out? Time of year?
Is good to use a mask as well so you don't give all that dust to your lungs. Great video. Thank you.
Planted mine a few months ago. They grew but no flower. Some seem to be dying. Some have yellow leaf. I plant them outside and fert. Also use seaweed. Some are growing Normal and some seem stunted
Yellowing gladiola leaves is usually a sign of too much water or over fertilizing. I suspect you may have both problems. Glads don't need a lot of water. I don't know where you live, but if it was in the Northeast, you didn't need to water at all this spring and early summer. The same would be true for the Southeast. In the West you should have watered once a week because of the drought. You don't need seaweed and fertilizer. Choose one, but don't use both. Hope this helps.
@@harvestinghistoryllc3161 I've been doing both. Thank you very much.
Extremely appreciated
Actually cow and horse manure may be tainted with the worst kind of herbicide. I can’t recall the name, but it’s a compound like round up, that kills everything but the grass that is fed to the animals… if you can’t confirm, get a batch, quarantine it, use some in a pot or two before spreading it all around everywhere or mixing it with your hard earned compost. You can tell it’s tainted if you plants curl up all over… yes, sometimes a few leaves curl for other reasons, but the entire plant will not grow correctly. Chicken or rabbit manure may be a better choice … or you could add a little blood meal or some kind of fish emulsion and kelp or something like that. You’ll probably be fine with horse or cow manure but if you spread around a bunch of that chemical around your yard, it will be a lot of work and possibly take years to get it out and be able to grow again… I think the herbicide is called something ‘pyrolide’ or other. If this happens, there is a charcoal product you can use… the company has UA-cam videos about it. And BTW, vaccines can do the same kinda thing to you… I know first hand. My dad died from a flu shot in 2018… it’s even harder to fix that kind of damage. Biggest snake oil products on the planet.
I think I’m planting mine too shallow. Too late for this year. Will they be okay if I stake them?
yes
I made a staked frame [2 stakes with a crossbar screwed to them] for each side of my 4x6 ft bed out of 1x2 lumber. The crossbar is about 20" high above the ground. Then I weaved thin bamboo 6' long sticks (home depot) into a grid of 6" squares placed on top of the side frames. Glads grow right up through it and survive the storms better now. It breaks down (into a 6" diameter bundle 7 ft long) quickly when I dig them up in the fall. $35 well spent, now I don't have to dodge bees and bulbs to stake the floppy ones!
Looks like your soil has perlite in it, but you didn’t mention that in putting together your soil mix. Little confused.
I found some top soil like Scott’s brand have perlite mixed in.
Quick question. Can I use dirt instead of soil?
You sure can! 😁
Need to wear a mask around the dry soil dust.
Hello, is itpossible to mix lilies in a planter with my gladiolus? I have 16 bulbs of gladious and 4 bulbs each of following lilies( Stargazers; Day lilies; Commander and chief and a bold mix ). I have a 12 inch pot thats deep. Live in the Pacific NW. I would like to do 6 gladious and add 8 lilies 8 in each pot if possible. Thank you in advance for your help.💚
Rae, it is possible to mix lilies and glads in a single container. The lilies will be shorter so should be in front and they will bloom first (most likely). BUT, you have the bulbs too crowded. The most I would plant would be 4 glads and 2 lilies per 12 inch pot. If you crowd, you may not get blooms.
@BarbaraMelera Will do and thank you for all your knowledge. I can't wait to see them all bloom.💚
Ma’am will they come back every year if I plant in container
Mary, it depends on where you live. From Hardiness Zones 7-11, the answer is yes. In Hardiness Zones 5-6 probably. In Hardiness Zones 1-4, probably not, BUT you can drag your container into a garage or building and they will most likely come back. Hope this helps.
Can you plant bulb know
Depends on where you live. If you live in Hardiness Zones 7-10 yes.
open the door and get some ventilation going in there 😆
I love the "crummy top soil." We have sheep, goats and chickens. I will assume the sheep and goat manure would work, not so sure about the chicken (too "hot"?)
My corms are very dry looking.
Need to have the microphone closer . Can't hear you .
When shoud I put them in the ground
Where do you live Marion?
@@harvestinghistoryllc3161 I'm in zone 8a
@@marionlognion2443 Marion, I am so sorry for the delayed response. You could put them in the ground now. Ifd you haven't already. Ifd you get some unusually cold weather, i.e. frost, cover with a sheet for the night. Otherwise they should bloom around Dec-January.
Can I use chicken manure?
Absolutely.
Gladiolees?
So what my question is to anyone out there is as follows.....
If I do not do 20% of this 30% of that 2% of this does it mean that my gladiolus will not grow??!
Gladiolia? Gladiolus singular, gladioli plural.
volume is to low

If for reason ,,,you plant them wrong,,they will turn around n look for the sun,,,,if for some reason,,,
You look like my sisters,
You’re wrong , I did that & they rotted away.. you need to put grit down in the trench then put the corms on the top then grit on it & cover it with soil
Sorry, we disagree. Grit may help in your application and with your watering habits, but it is not necessary. Water less and make sure there are enough drainage holes in your container and that they are large enough.
@@harvestinghistoryllc3161 Hello ?… i’m talking about the expert late mr. Geoff Hamilton who was hosting gardener’s world from 1968 till his passing.. he was not “ an amateur “ like you.. so you don’t stand a chance to disagree.. i did it your way .. they all rotted away.. not 1 came up the yr. after .. so you’re wrong .. i now plant my gladiolis the “ Geoff Hamilton “ way
Can not hear this lady even with my new phone on high volume
Really sorry Vonita. We may eventually redo this video. The videographer had her hand over the audio.
audio is bad!
You are right and I am sorry for this. We have learned a lot since this video was made, but still making mistakes. Maybe someday we'll make a perfect video, but with our luck I doubt it.
Is this really how it’s pronounced?
Adrianne, how is what pronounced?
Honey we are not kids, so therefore you don't have to repeat yourself. If we need to we can go back and listen to it again.
Gladiola--NOT Gladiolia!
