Gladiolus 2021
« on: January 27, 2021, 07:50:38 AM »
Growing Gladiolus from seeds is a game of patience. This late autumn and beginning winter two species of Gladiolus germinated, five of five seeds of Gladiolus alatus und one of five seeds of Gladiolus floribundus. I keep them in an unheated but frost-free greenhouse. The temperatures drop down to 1 °C. The Gladiolus floribundus grew much faster than Gladiolus alatus. But I guess both will cost me a lot of patience until the first flowers.

it already looks big for a seedling of the year.
 I succeeded in making a Gladiolus tristis flower the second spring after germination in January.
 its single leaf was 20 cm high before drying and its bulb 3 mm wide at the most during the rest period; if it starts glass, there is hope.
 unfortunately my success ended there,
 I have since lost my biggest gladiolus tristis by trying to leave them in the ground and I can no longer grow the new ones that germinate.
 Is there a disease that causes gladiolus to dry out early  or die?

 but some species are very slow

The Gladiolus floribundus is 19 cm high and looks like a small Gladiolus. When I grow bulbs from seeds, I don't pick the corms out of the soil in the first year normally. I let the corms rest in the substrate and keep the pot dry or nearly dry. So I have no clue about the size of the corms.

I don't normally take them out of the pot either, but I'm too curious. ; D
this is my sowing result in one growing season

magnificent!
 I still have to progress to make them develop faster and flourish!
 I succeeded in tristis and carneus in 1 and 2 years, and flanaganii in 3 years, the others do not grow enough!
 and even species that are already well developed, I do not always manage to make them flower

G. saundersii is a summer growing species and quite easy to grow, far easier than any winter growing species (species that Fermi manage to grow well also) !

It flowered for the first time 2 years ago. Don't remember when I sowed it but it's not the slowest and it's multiplying well. One of the most easy winter growing species that I grow.
