When to plant gladiolus (sword orchid) bulbs

First, planting time

Generally speaking, it will produce a ball after it is planted for a year, we usually 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 go into dormancy, then do not care about the time.

2. Pre-seed preparation

Because it is a kind of ball, so we need to do some treatment to the ball before we start planting. Our method is actually relatively simple:

1. 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. two。 Wash it with pure water and put it in a ventilated place to dry.

3. 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 plants

1. Put it all in the soil and press it.

two。 Fill it with enough water and pour it thoroughly.

3. Put it in a semi-shady place, replenish water in time, and wait for it to sprout.

IV. Ground planting

1. 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.

two。 Put the seed ball into the ditch and cover it with a layer of soil to fill the ditch.

3. After sowing, we should still pay attention to the management of water, and do not water it easily before emergence, unless it is dry.

V. matters needing attention

For some rare varieties, we need to pay more attention to them. Generally speaking, we want to expand the breeding and washing, so we have to cut these balls, and the number of cuts can be determined by the size of the ball, two to four pieces.

Each piece has its own requirements, the root disk should have, and the buds should also be enriched, so that the reproduction of seed balls is feasible. Smear something on the cut to prevent germs from invading. You can use the ash of charcoal or the ash of grass. Plant it immediately after smearing.
