How long does Gladiolus seed bulb germinate Gladiolus seed bulb planting method

Gladiolus is a famous flower variety in the world. At present, it can be seen in many countries in the world. It is a flower variety with high ornamental value. Now there are many people growing Gladiolus in our country. Presumably, many people who have bought Gladiolus bulbs are more concerned about the method of planting and the specific time of germination after planting.

How long does it take for gladiolus bulbs to sprout?

Gladiolus bulbs can be seen obviously sprouting in about 10 days, and if there is no movement in about 15 days, it is estimated that it will not work. Generally, non-germination is caused by improper maintenance after planting.

Planting method of Gladiolus bulb

1. Planting time: generally speaking, the ball will be produced after it is planted for one year. We generally use its seed ball, and the planting time is usually in spring. Of course, if there are conditions to maintain the temperature so that it does not enter the dormancy state, then do not care about the time.

2. Pre-planting preparation: because it is a kind of ball, we need to do some treatment on the ball before we start planting. Put its grading ball in water for a quarter of an hour, and then use liter mercury or formalin. Generally, the concentration of mercury is 0.1%, while formalin needs 80 times its solution, and the disinfection time is only 30 minutes. Wash it with pure water and put it in a ventilated place to dry. Before sowing, we also need to use fertilizers to increase the nutrient content of the flower soil, but these base fertilizers cannot be in direct contact with the balls we sow.

3. Potted plant: put it all in the soil and press it well. Fill it with enough water and pour it thoroughly. Put it in a semi-shady place, replenish water in time, and wait for it to sprout.

4. Ground planting: choose a suitable piece of land, dig trenches, the depth of the ditch is twice as deep as the ball, and the interval should be controlled according to the size of the seed ball. Put the seed ball into the ditch and cover it with a layer of soil to fill the ditch. After sowing, we should still pay attention to the management of water, and do not water it easily before emergence, unless it is dry.

Gladiolus seed bulb how to fertilize water

1. Watering: Gladiolus is not resistant to waterlogging and does not need too much water during its growth period. To sum up, it can be classified as the following key watering periods. The first is the period from seedling germination to two or three true leaves, during which water is watered every other week or so. Of course, it can also be arranged reasonably according to the soil condition. Also pay attention to drainage, not stagnant water. The second is to properly water again before flowering during the period from two or three leaves to the blooming of pregnant buds. Then it is properly watered again after flowering to the middle of the flowering period. Avoid too much water, otherwise the plant will lodge because of overgrowth.

2. Fertilization: gladiolus is a fertilizer-loving plant, basic fertilizer should be fully applied before planting, and fertilization should be kept up in time during the growing period. From one month after planting to before budding, p and k fertilizers were applied every 10 seconds and 15 days to promote plant growth and flower bud differentiation. After the pregnant bud to before flowering, K fertilizer and B fertilizer should be applied twice. B fertilizer is beneficial to promote flower color. Although Gladiolus likes fertilizer, it is more likely to cause overgrowth and lodging due to excessive fertilization. after growing to two or three leaves, we should pay attention to sealing the soil in time.

Common diseases of gladiolus bulbs and their control

1. Mosaic disease. Prevention and control methods: strengthen prevention, before planting the ball, disinfect the seed ball and soil to ensure that there are no bacteria before planting. For diseased plants, the bulbs should be taken out immediately and thrown away to avoid infecting other plants. When you get sick, spray carbendazim, root or foliar spray, once every 7 days, 3-4 times.

2. Dry rot. Control methods: usually pay attention to control the content of nitrogen fertilizer, apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to enhance the disease resistance of the plant. Soaking the bulb in carbendazim solution for 30 minutes before planting the bulb can effectively avoid the pathological changes of the bulb. When the plant is sick, spray 50% of Dyson zinc solution in time, once every 7 days, 3: 5.

Gladiolus seed germination time will not be more than half a month, if not germinated in half a month, it is certainly not possible. Therefore, after planting, we must do a good job of maintenance, timely watering and fertilization is the inevitable factor to ensure its growth, and we also need to actively prevent and control diseases in the later stage of planting.
