According to the plans of summer residents and flower growers, gladioli should begin to please the eye no later than August.
This will happen if you approach the "awakening" of the bulbs correctly, or rather, preparing for planting. We will tell you how to understand that the time has come and it is time to take the flower bulbs out of the refrigerator.
In order not to get confused in the advice and climatic conditions, you need to focus on the time of planting the plant in open ground specifically in your area.
Landing
Gladioli are planted in the ground when the soil warms up to +10 degrees Celsius at a depth of 15 centimeters.
An important circumstance is the absence of prolonged and severe frosts. Otherwise, the bulbs may rot, and at best, their germination will slow down.
Awakening of the bulbs
Usually the planting material waits for its time in the refrigerator. But usually sprouted bulbs are planted.
Therefore, if planting is scheduled for the beginning of May, then the tubers must be awakened no later than the beginning of April.
In a warm room they will wake up faster, germinate and bloom faster. But the most important thing is that after flowering there will be time for new bulbs to form before the autumn cold weather.
