- How to Plant, Grow and Care for Gladiolus Bulbs or Corms - Gladiolus is one of the most popular flowering bulbs for cut flowers and here in this video, you would learn the best way to plant, grow and care for Gladiolus. Grow it at your home and enjoy the blooms throughout the whole year as Gladiolus blooms in Winter and Summer season as well. Gladiolus is perfect to grow in containers as well and this is the same thing I did.
The flower spikes of Gladiolus come in a wide array of beautiful colors such as Yellow, Red, Orange, Pink, White etc and they are easy to grow and care for. Just give it a try and plz let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much for watching the video :-) Have a great day :-)
I liked your video because you have presented the life cycle of a plant from bulb to flower. Thanks.
@Iqbal Ahmed, Thank you so so much 😊 I do the same thing mostly in all of my videos, thank you 😊
I have successfully planted my gladiulus , im happy after 3 months it shown a flowering stem. Waiting for it to bloom flowers!
The best thing about your videos is the patience with which you wait for the update and super informative nature. Thank you.
Thank for showing step by step gardening . I love gladiolus flower
I have researched that. You don’t want your flowers to fall over like that you just have to plant them deeper. That way the solid supports the plants
I love gladiolus. Thanks for the helpful advice. ❤😊
Very useful thanks for showing step by step gardening 👍🏾👍🏾
My gladiolus first bloom was today! 6-15-2021 so exciting the color is red 1 down nine to go 😁
thank you so much i followed your tips and got result after 84 days... full bloom Gladiolus flowers
I am so glad to know about your success and great job! Happy for you :-)
Thank you for the total care guidance.
Need to plant bulbs 4 " deep. Use a taller pot. Heavy plant need lots room to grow deep strong roots. Lot of good compost, heavy feeders too. But so beautiful. Enjoy your videos. Thanks
Informative and interesting as well
Thank you so much
Lovely video.. I am also growing it this year
It is very useful for my studies
I cant wait to see how mine come out ive successfully planted Tulips , Snapdragons, and callie lily's my garden is gonna be so beautiful 😁🦋💐🦋
How's it coming? Excited for you. ❤
@@iBi_uBu Successfully planted 10 gladiolus not on pot but garden and still sprouting I'm so happy 😊
plzz tell me in which weather it will grow??
@fenzi Denizer
I live in California so it's warm weather we are heading into summer i can't wait 😊🌸🌺
@@sosicapri dear it will grow in hot weather???
Looks great!
@Nicco Schaal, Thank you so much :-)
Thank you!
Thanks for posting the video chandan, as we discussed before I planted the bulbs 12 days ago and I think I over watered it. I will try once again. Wish me luck 👍
@sathya seelan, Most welcome n Good luck in growing again. I know they are going to bloom :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat I stopped watering too much after seeing this video and 4 th day what a magic., 5 of my 8 bulbs sprouted., thanks man
2 like... great information... thanks for sharing...
@Happy Gardening, Most welcome and many many thanks, appreciate it :-)
Thnx so much i need this video 🙏🌺🌹
You are most welcome and thank you for your feedback, appreciated 🙏
Informative🙏
We have lot of monkeys who eat up every part of the gladiolus plant. Still I will continue to plant them. It will be a treat if they grow in summers as well from the same pot.
@Parveen Fatima, They grow back in Summer in the same pot :-) In summer, need t protect from too much direct Sun or else, the blooms fade away so fast. Other than Gladiolus, you can plant many other summer bulbs. For example, I have listed few here - ua-cam.com/video/XR6ejftAC7M/v-deo.html Good luck in growing them :-)
Thank u...
I liked your video very much
So glad to know and Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful
Thank you
Good vidio sir
Tnx for the video
@Shanchita Afrin, Most welcome and thank you so much for watching :-)
Those are the most healthiest gladiolus bulbs I'I've ever seen
Thanks alot my dear nice vedios.please vedio on propagation jasmin chameli ,night blooming from cutting
I have been watching some of your videos. Very nice indeed. Could you kindly share the sellers from whom you have brought Gladiolus bulbs. We need genuine sellers. Your help is very much appriciated.
धन्यवाद जी🙏
Like!
Beautiful flowers... I will try to plant it as well...
@ramya jegannathan, thank you for watching the video :-) Good luck in planting them and along with them you can also plant Asiatic lily or Lilium. The blooms are just gorgeous and last for many days.
Is it ? Where can I get good bulbs... I mean through online.. any website u know...
@ramya jegannathan, I got the bulbs from nursery as it was really cheap - only Rs 5 for one bulb. If nursery is not possible, I believe you can try Amazon - Kraft Seeds Gate Garden Gladiolus Flower Bulbs or Nurserylive? Price is also reasonable - 199 for 15 bulbs.
Thank you very much for your immediate response... I’ll try to get it now... I love plants a lot... especially flowers but now I started growing vegetables too... it’s actually a good experience too... actually where is your location to know about the temperature or climate there... I live in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu... here the temp would between 28 to 32 on normal days... in summer it would go maximum to 39 degrees...
@@ramyajegannathan4673 , most welcome :-) Same here, I love all the plants but somewhat addicted to flowering plants comparing to foliage plants. I am from Guwahati (Assam) and current temperature is almost same as you. But from end of Dec, it would be bit more cold. Summer it's too hot and average temperature is around 32° - 34°. Good to know you have started growing vegetables too, Good luck n hope you are going to have great harvesting :-) I would upload many videos soon like - Carrots, Radish, Cauliflower, Knol Khol etc...Anyway, nice to speak with you. Thank you :-)
@fenzi this is my first season planting gladiolus i really could not comment there although i have noticed planting in natural soil for me all my flowers florish better my callie lilies that were in a basket died really rapid in less than a month and Also kept in shade but still the heat was to much and i have 1 callie lilie points at the sun ☀️ but on natural soil 🤷 go figure
Thank you for your details now please say what should I purchase bulb or spoouted plant
Awesome
@Saraswathi Tangirala, thank you very much for watching the video, appreciate it :-)

How many days taken to sprout gladiolas?
It would be great if you mentioned days on videos.
I brought few bulbs. It's my first time planing these. I didn't loosen the cover thats wrapping the bulbs. But it's nearly a week and the plant isn't coming out. And also, is it okay to not to use fertiliser?
Can I fertilize any bulb in this manner and what should be the interval between 2 consecutive fertilization
Wow, very beautiful! So you water them an average of every 3 days or so, twice a week?
@cheryl l, Thank you So So much for the feedback, appreciate it. Yah, it was like twice a week. It may be bit difference for you because of climate. Better to let the top soil or top 1 inch soil dry out before watering :-) Good luck in growing them :-)
Sir we have to place the pot in full sun after planting the bulbs
My gladiolus bulbs that' were sown in Feb. didn't bloom in summer but now the😢 are sprouted.What should be given to make them bloom. How frequently should fertilizer be given to gladiolus.
Here in Delhi NCR now temperature is going little up now like 22°/9°
Can i grow now ? Or should i wait for next season but in winter temperature goes very low here
Is mid january suitable for sowing bulb?
You should plant bulb deeper minimum 5 inch my friend

I have planted my corms before 3 months, it has grow tall but no flowering stalk is coming out, I have applied some potassium and phosphorus powder that nursery people gave me for bringing it's flower but still nothing is happening. What to do for it's blooms?
Wonderfully explained each and evry point about gladiolus
...i hv just got some of thm...can i grow thm now??
@Soumya Naik, sorry for the late reply :-( Though, I am not uploading Videos, checking few comments and trying my best not to reply you. But, I missed this one :-( Anyway, you can definitely grow them now as they bloom even in Summer. But Plz also note that, they don't bloom in Summer like Winter and if temperature goes above 35°C on a continuous basis, they may not bloom. For Summer, we can grow many other flowering lillies like - Canna, Calla, Daylily, Ginger lily, Rajnigandha, Football Lily etc :-) Hope, I would be able to upload videos covering each of them :-)

What is the best time to sow gladiolus bulbs????
Your gald bulbs look amazing....can you plz share from where did you buy them
@Yashi Seth, Thank you :-) I bought them from Nursery in my place - Guwahati (Daffodil nursery) :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you :)
Hi.. my gladiolus have good leaves.. it’s more than three months no blooms seen.. any advice regarding this...
@ramya jegannathan, Honestly saying, I don't see any other options other than waiting for some more days. Since they have good leaves, they should bloom soon. The maturity of bulbs really matters a lot...my amaryllis lily didn't bloom first year..but this year they bloomed really well. Many other didn't bloom as well like - Spider, Aztec, Ixia etc..Unfortunately, we don't get matured bulb always when buying online :-( I hope, your Gladiolus would bloom soon :-) Since, temp is rising, plz don't provide them whole day of Sun now. 3-4 hours would be more than enough. Thank you :-)
Sir kya ye sirf ek bar hi flower dete hai ek season mein?
Hello,
Very nice information...on gladiolus...
Would you share bulbs of gladiolus with your viewers?
Ready to pay postage...
because....amazon and nursery wale bulb ...bahut sare germinate nahi kerty...if possible 😊
Your thumbs up means you are ready to share its bulb with me😊
Sir i have planted lots of gladiolus bulbs. Plants are growing in full sun. But not blooming. Can you suggest me any remedy
I planted my glads 4 yrs ago they appear to be strong leaves but some are yellowing and have brown on them . they have not flowered yet. what could be causing this and what do I do? Thanks Pat
Get out of the soil and remove leaves.. Then plant it in new potting mix..
Hai,I am miza,thanks
May I know where do you located.. I’m asking to know the temperature there... so that I can plan accordingly...
@ramya jegannathan, definitely, I am from Guwahati (Assam) and current temperature is almost same as you. But from end of Dec, it would be bit more cold. Summer it's too hot and average temperature is around 32° - 34°. Thank you!
Thank you... I will follow the same... happy gardening...
@@ramyajegannathan4673 , Most welcome :-)
my gladious leaves are turning yellow...pls suggest reason and remedies🙏
Greetings sir.
Your video on gladiolus is superb sir.
I planted my gladiolus 3 months back
Still the spike has not come up.
What could be the reason sir?
Greeting and thank you So much for your words..
3 months and they haven't sprouted :-( Sorry, bad news and most likely all are already rotten. You can dig up the soil and check once. Perhaps, you planted them too deep and soil was too wet. Anyway, season is almost done and now you can almost start growing all these plants - ua-cam.com/video/UrC5_Ln8Trw/v-deo.html
@@GardeningUpbeat Thanks for the reply
Would try to grow the ones you suggested
Does your gladiolus bloom in summer plz plz tell me
👍👍👍👍🌺
I live in Uttarakhand and minimum temp goes down to about -1 in Dec and jan here. Is it a good idea to plant gladiola now?
@Richa Pant, thank you for your question. I am really afraid and I won't recommend you to grow Gladiolus if temp goes down to about -1 in Dec (as they bloom well when temp is around even 35°C). Instead, you can grow TULIP :-) Truly extraordinary and I have failed many times to grow it in my place because of hot temperature :-( Some more you can consider - Hyacinth, Iris, Ornithogalum, Allium etc..If you have any questions, plz let me know and I would get back to you ASAP! Thank you very much for watching the video :-)
Thank you. I have planted tulip and hyacinths. I will try the others as well. Thank you for the recommendation 😊
@@richapant , Most welcome and good luck :-)
Which month is good for growing bulbs
My nurseryman has asked me to cover just the base of the bulbs...
I have purchased gladiolus bulbs bit they don't look like the way you have shown. Could I have been duped
Hiw many bulb can we grow in 12" pot. Can we grow them noe because i saved bUKlbs last year n they are sprouting now. Last year they didn't produce flowers
@Punam Bisht, 4-6 can be grown easily..They sprouted bit early, I think they were touching ground. Anyway, you can definitely plant them now as they already sprouted. Thank you n Good luck Ma'am :-)
awesome video. what a coincidence... i wanted to plant gladiolus... ordered the bulbs but didn't do it.. coz i didn't know the right way. now i can grow it.
in which season can i grow gladiolus.??
from where did you buy the bulbs ??
Hi @Bhavana Soni, glad to know I uploaded the video at the right time :-) We can grow it any season (Winter + Summer) and this is the best time to grow it. I bought it from Nursery as it's readily available.
In Summer, when the temperature goes really up, the blooms don't last like Winter. In my place this year highest temperature was 39°C but it managed to bloom :-) Need to provide less amount of direct sunlight in Summer.
To get the blooms in Summer, you don't have to plant the bulbs again. I mentioned the tip at 8:43 :-) Plz let me know if you have any questions and I would be glad to answer it. Thank you very much for watching the video :-)
Sir mere Defenbachia plant ke gamle me gladiolus sprout kar raha hai... Kya flower 🌺 ayega?
Please give great suggestions.
Flowers to ayga..but problem honge in coming days. Gladiolus would need sunlight to flower..aur Defenbachia direct sunlight me kharab ho jayega. Isliye, jitna jaldi ho sake, Gladiolus ko dusra pot me shift kar dijiye..good luck!
@@GardeningUpbeat corms chhote size( bade matar ki size) ke the gamle me .... Kitne din baad flower 🌺 ayega?
When did you plant them ?
I am interested .from where we purchased
In which month i have to plant the bulbs
We have good quality gladiolus 12 colors and Tuberose flower bulbs
Do you sell them? In which part of India are you located?
Teu ngarti aing mah
Will i get blooming if i plant bulbs now i.e in the month of February?
Depends on temperature...but still, they bloom well in Winter. If temp doesn't go above 30 degree Celsius, they may bloom in Summer but flowering would be very less. Now actually it's better to grow other plants and there are many. Just uploaded one video about the plants to grow in Feb and here is the link - ua-cam.com/video/UrC5_Ln8Trw/v-deo.html
How frequently shud we fertilse
Bro are u from Assam ??
Have u tried growing orchids... actually I love orchids a lot... but I don’t know how to maintain... please upload a video if u know...
@ramya jegannathan, Yes I have :-) but it was few years back and right now I don't have Orchid which I should have actually. From last few months I have been thinking to grow it and every time I forget to buy it. But when I would go to nursery next, definitely I would buy it and upload a video. The most important thing is to prepare a good potting soil mix and provide it required light. Anyway, I would do it ASAP!
Sure thank you... nice speaking to u... waiting for your videos...
@ramya jegannathan, it was nice to speak with you too, have a great time and definitely I would try to do it asap! Thank you!
In which month we should grow.
In which month you sow your bulbs
can you tell what color the flowers will be from the bulbs?
Was thinking the same. Never seen color in the bulbs like his.
Can I use npk 151515, because 191919 is not available near my location
Sure, you can and Good Luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanks 😊
Can I add cowdung instead of vermicompost?
@Jalpa Shah, Sure we can :-) Composted cow dung manure is great one, hard to find and so I use Vermicompost mostly..thank you for watching :-)
Can I plant now in January end?
Yes. I planted mine in January and they are doing great! No flower spikes yet but I'm waiting patiently
when you planted these corms and from where you purchased it ?
@leena agravat, Thank you for your question. We can grow it any season (Winter + Summer) and this is the best time to grow it. I bought it from Nursery as it's readily available. Plus it's very cheap, only Rs. 5 for one bulb.

@@GardeningUpbeat Are they selling it online
@@GardeningUpbeat I've bought 1 corm at ₹15! 😭
Anyway, I've kept it inside the sand and waiting for sprouting. When it'll germinate, I'll follow the steps suggested by you. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Will they bloom only in summer ??
Or winters also??
Please reply
@Jeiponda Elevens, In my place, they mostly bloom well in Winter. In Summer also they bloom but not well due to high temp. Air temperatures between 50°F and 77°F (10 - 25°C) is ideal but they can survive even if the temp is ~ 95°F (35°C and it's the average summer temp in my place). Thank you for watching the video :-)
Please tell the perfect month to plant the bulb in west Bengal
Sept-October is the best time to plant!
I had to dig up my gladious after they flowered and died back, many baby corms. Do i just replant those as well as large ones.
@Kim Fleming, thank you for your question. Yes, you can definitely plant the baby corms along with the mother :-) They would bloom once they reach their maturity level. Thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you very much for your reply, I will plant them.
@Kim Fleming, Most welcome and good luck in planting them :-)
Can we grow it in summer?
We can but won't bloom like winter if temp is high..There are many lilies that can be grown in Summer. I already have a video about it.
3 sprout came in 1 bulb. Will the flower come ??plzz tell
Sure..it should produce flowers..good luck!
Hi I got the gladiolus bulbs... 10 bulbs.. the bulbs are little bit small... is that not a problem right?
@ramya jegannathan, glad to know you got them :-) It's okay if they are bit small and they would bloom. Good luck in planting them :-)
Your welcome.. planted both lilium and gladiolus.... waiting for the blooms like yours.... 🤔🤔🤔
@@ramyajegannathan4673 , Good luck :-) I am sure they would bloom like crazy :-) I also need to plant lots of other bulbs.
Thank you... I appreciate that... if you can try with calla lily and upload a video... hope I got a gardening friend...
@ramya jegannathan, Most welcome and I am really glad that you felt that you got a gardening friend and I am also happy to get a gardening friend like you :-) Sure, I would do video about Calla Lily and I believe, you love growing Lilies a lot :-) I love them a lot too and I have many videos in queue and going to upload soon. It just take bit more time for me as I want to show everything from planting to blooming. Feel free to join me on Insta and I would love to see the plants you are growing. My id - instagram.com/gardeningupbeat/ (as of now not a single pic, but would start the activity soon) See you soon and TC :-)

September is the best time to plant..or even at the end of August!
Thankyou
How to identify white colour gladiolus bulb 🤔?
Bhai can you tell me from which company should I use NPK 19 19 19 Or any better.
I purchased from local market they are just useless.
Can you provide the link
@Subrata Saha, nice to see you after many days :-) The one which I mostly use is the SHRIRAM POSHAK. I bought it from nursery. I often go to nurseries to buy plants and along with plants, I also buy the other required things. I think, it's not available online :-( You can try buying it from some reputed store (look for imported NPK) or online.
To make it easier, I am going to review few products from Amazon and would share the results. This way, it would be easier for other people to buy the products that work. Plz let me know if you have any questions and hope your plants are doing great :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanks.. Yes it would be better if you share the results with us. And yes my plants are doing great after sowing my seeds in cocopeat and vermicompost and no pest attack until now but they are very slow growing. I sowed calendula dahlia and marigold but they all have only leaf after the first leaf. They look like hanged for many days.
Can you provide me a way to grow them faster.
P. S. I am giving them morning sun and water enough
And can you provide the link you used for your gardening.. I have added some product to cart in amazon(mkp and npk) just waiting for your review
I sow my seeds on 25 October
@@budgetgardening474 , Good to know your seedling are doing great. To grow them faster, you can use NPK 19-19--19. You can use mix 2 grams (1/2 teaspoon) in 1 liter of water and spray the seedlings. This is one thing that I do when I see seedlings are not growing fast. But, in most cased, I don't need to do that. I had to do it recently with my Cypress vine seedlings as they were not growing fast. Morning sun is just perfect n just be careful while watering. Anyway, I have videos (already recorded) about growing Calendula & Marigold from seeds and if you want, I would keep them first in the list of my next uploading videos.
>> And can you provide the link you used for your gardening.. I have added some product to cart in amazon(mkp and npk) just waiting for your review
Soon I would be uploading one video about the tools I use. And, for the Fertilizer, I mostly buy locally and I would test few fertilizers which are available online (as I promised you in my previous reply). I would see how they work and ONLY if I see good result, definitely I would let you know. But till then, plz feel free to ask me about any products you are thinking to buy and I would try my best to give you the best decision. Thank you n looking forward :-)
How do u keep your flowers from falling over
Need to provide them support..you can use bamboo stick or anything else.
6 aru 7 inch pot keta bulb dibo pari?
I planted bulbs but even after 20 days, they did not sprout. What might be the reason. Pls suggest
@anu radha, Could be because of over-watering...please dig up the soil a bit and see if the bulbs are still there...if they are okay n not rotten, no need to worry and they would sprout. But, please again, be careful while watering :-)
