The latest how to keep Gladiolus blooming

Gladiolus, also known as sword orchid, Iridaceae flowers, the flower is very beautiful, is one of the four world-famous cut flowers. Gladiolus blossoms from July to September. Flowering needs a warm environment. Long-day sunshine is conducive to flower bud differentiation, but short-day sunshine can promote early flowering. Like fertilizer and phosphate fertilizer to improve the quality of flowering. How gladiolus blossoms all the time may be done through some kind of man-made technology. Then get to know it!

1. Variety collocation

There are generally two large varieties of spring flowers and summer flowers, but there are different varieties with mature flowering time. If flowers are to bloom in all seasons, early-maturing varieties, medium-maturing varieties and late-maturing varieties can be used. After all the plants are planted, there can be flowers in every season. It can be maintained in the greenhouse in winter and blossom as well.

2. Bloom ahead of time

If there is a blank time for flowering, you can put the seed ball at a temperature between zero and four degrees, and the hypnosis will be relieved in about a month. Blossom earlier when there is plenty of sunshine, so you can adjust the light and temperature to adjust the flowering time, you can blossom ahead of time. Soaking the seed ball in 39 degrees hot water for two weeks can also break dormancy.

3. Delayed flowering

Can also delay flowering, delayed need to be preserved in a low temperature, dry environment, promote dormancy can delay flowering. In low temperature drying, the planting ball will go into a dormant state and will not blossom. It only needs to increase the temperature and humidity when it wants to blossom, and the dormancy will be broken and will open. In fact, it is to restrain flowering.

4. Control flowering

Gladiolus likes long sunshine, sunny environment, in such an environment, coupled with warm temperature, flowering will be relatively early, so appropriate adjustment of temperature, light, will change the time of flowering. But the premise is to have a changed environment, such as greenhouse heat preservation, greenhouse warming, shading planting. Humidity adjustment, which can change the flowering time.

If gladiolus is to be harvested in the four seasons, it can be planted with varieties with different flowering times, or the specific time of flowering can be adjusted by artificially changing environmental factors.
