1. Processing bulbs

When planting gladiolus, you should choose high-quality bulbs that are full in shape, not damaged, relatively healthy, and have bulbs between 10-12cm. After selecting the bulbs, peel off the outermost layer of their skin, and then soak them in some low-concentration disinfectant water for disinfection. After that, take them out and place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry.

After sterilizing the selected flower soil and flower pot, put the soil into the pot, smooth the surface, and then place the sterilized bulbs in the flower soil and bury them, keeping the depth at about 10cm. Be careful not to plant too deep, otherwise it will be difficult for the bulbs to germinate smoothly.
