Step by step guide to growing gladioli Bashny.Net

For beginners and experienced gardeners. It is almost step by step guide to growing gladioli. Performing the suggested techniques, you are guaranteed to receive gorgeous flowers!

Landing site :
Sunny, protected from cold Northern winds.
Should not be used for landing crude areas in low terrain with high groundwater levels.

Eleven million two hundred forty two thousand six hundred twenty six

Soil:
Structural to slightly acid reaction, without water stagnation. Soil better prepare in the autumn:

• if the soil has a higher acidity level, then make dolomite powder;
• fall fertilizer application — 100 g of superphosphate, 40 g of potassium sulfate per 1 sqm;
• in the spring of insertion 40 g ammonium nitrate 30 g or urea, 50 g of wood ash, 40 grams of simple and 20 g of double superphosphate on 1 sq. m

Preparing roses for planting:
For 20-25 days before planting the treated corms from covering scales and put in 1-2 layers with the shoots facing up, in a warm room for ambient light so that direct sunlight did not fall on the tubers.

In any case can not be decomposed gladioli on a wet cloth, as do some novice growers.

If the corms are small signs of diseases scab, cut the affected area to healthy tissue, the cut treated green paint.

Before boarding for disinfection of fungal spores, microparasites or thrips can be treated corms with chemicals or extracts of phytoncide plants, such as garlic.

Of chemicals use:

• fundazol 0.3% solution in 30-50 minutes,
• potassium permanganate 0.3% solution for 1-2 hours.

 

If the storage of the corms was damaged by thrips very good effect is obtained by processing an extract of garlic:

• juice squeezed from 100 g garlic bred in 1 liter of water;
• this solution for 2-3 hours, put the corms damaged by thrips.

 

After this treatment, as a rule, corms safely increase shoots and roots, although these gladioli flowering is delayed by about 7-10 days.

You can also use treatment with growth promoters. For example, a 0.2% solution of sodium HUMATE. Soak in this solution corms for 2-3 hours. You can use the EPIN — 2-2,5 ml / 5L of water for 5-10 hours.

Good result gives a treatment of corms in the solution copper sulphate (5 g per 1 l of warm water) with potassium permanganate (1 g per 1 l of water). Onions peeled and soaked for 9 hours.

Directly before boarding can be disinfected corms in the solution potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) — 0.5 g per 1 liter of water for half an hour together with the sprouts and polaskova, once planted in the ground.

Baby treated as well as corms, but the concentration of the solution do two times weaker.

Planting gladiolus:
When the soil at a depth of 10 cm warms up about 10° start planting gladioli.

• Distance between bulbs in a row 10-15 cm between rows of 25-30 cm
• The distance between the children in the following 3-5 cm between rows, 20-25 cm

 

Planting depth depends on soil structure and size of corms. In light of the structural and sandy soils the depth of planting corms with a diameter greater than 3 cm can be increased to 15 cm, kids — 5 cm

On heavy and clay soils, the planting depth is reduced to 8-10 cm corms with a diameter greater than 3 cm and 2-2 cm for children.

Better then during the growing season to mulch planting humus layer 3-5 cm Mulching gives an excellent result — not swim the soil when watering, do not require frequent tilling, less weeds are growing, the compost during watering feeds gladioli.

Planting furrows or pits to prevent diseases pour a dark solution of potassium permanganate or fitosporin. Then pour a small layer of sand on it and lay the corms and kids. They fall asleep again, a small layer of sand and then earth. (read more about planting corms and kids)

The care of plantings of gladioli:
Irrigation – abundant 10-15 liters per 1 sq. m once a week. If the weather is hot, pour 2-3 times a week. If planting no mulch, loose after each watering.

Timely removal of weeds

Feeding starting after the appearance of the second sheet. The interval between feedings should not be less than 10 days.

Protection from diseases and pests:
From fungal disease, conduct preventive treatment of corms before boarding fundazol, Axioma, copper sulphate, Phytosporin using these drugs according to the instructions.

When the landings of patients instances, they are immediately removed along with the lump of earth, a place of digging watered with a solution of copper sulphate.

During the growing season by spraying the solutions of copper and of potassium permanganate (as indicated in the table with trace elements). The main method of dealing with disease – prevention and removal of diseased plants.

From thrips and other pests applied by spraying drugs Aktellik, sparkle(bio), Fitoverm, decis, Fufanon, INTA-VIR, etc., alternating drugs to avoid addiction.

Cleaning and storage:
Aging corms varieties of the early and middle periods of flowering occurs within 30-40 days after flowering or cutting of inflorescences, late varieties for 45-50 days. Therefore, the first harvested early and middle, and then late varieties of gladioli.

Besides, take into account one important caveat. Among equals in terms of cleaning, first try to dig out the dark-colored varieties (cherry red, purple) and lavender-blue as they used to lose their natural immunity to fungal diseases. Last removed plants grown from klubnepochek (kids)!

Digging the corms of gladioli are holding from September, preferably in dry weather. The stems of gladioli are cut, leaving the corms small stump (0,5 — 1,0 cm). I advise you to leave it such a small stump, so as to fall in a widespread pest of gladiolus thrips is going closer to the base of the stem. Clipping in short, we reduce the possibility of damage to the gladiolus thrips in winter storage.

Periodically sanitize after cutting tool in a strong solution of potassium permanganate or a solution of alcohol and iodine.

The roots of the old corm and remove immediately. This reduces the period of drying of the planting material.

Fifty nine million eight hundred fifteen thousand nine hundred twenty seven

From juvenile, children grown from bulbs roots only well-pruned. And remove them the next year in preparation for spring planting. After trimming stems and roots corms are washed free from soil and treated in a solution of potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) 5-10 g per 10 l of water for 20-25 minutes.

Drying started as soon as possible. Tubers are laid on grades in the bags are dried at a temperature of 25-30 degrees for 15 days. And then be dried at a temperature of 20-22 degrees for 30-35 days.

The ideal temperature of storage of gladioli +5°+10°. Can be stored in a dry cellar, on the bottom shelf of the fridge, under the window, next to the coldest wall in the house, etc. published
