It takes 60 - 120 days for Gladiolus to bloom from the beginning of planting, but in general, gladiolus flowers will vary with seasons.
In July and August, it only takes two months to grow flowers, while in October, it takes 120 days to grow flowers, so it happens to be on the market until the Spring Festival, to celebrate the Spring Festival for flower friends.
In addition, planting Gladiolus in other periods will take 3 months to bloom, so different planting time will lead to different flowering time.
Gladiolus plant itself likes long-term sunshine, so to ensure adequate lighting, need to achieve more than 14 hours of lighting time every day;
The growth temperature of Gladiolus is between 20 ℃ and 25 ℃, which can effectively adjust the light and temperature, so as to control the flowering period and help Gladiolus bloom more.
To promote the early flowering of gladiolus, it is necessary to keep the temperature between 0 ℃ and 4 ℃, which takes 50 days, mainly to break the dormancy, so that Gladiolus can continue to grow, and then bloom, and the number of early flowering Gladiolus will also normally bloom is large, so it has done more flowering.
Similarly, early flowering can be more flowering, delayed flowering can also promote its more flowering;
The bulbs of Gladiolus can be kept in a dry and low temperature environment for curing, so that they can keep dormancy period.
Then break the dormancy period according to the flowering period you want to make it bloom.
So in about 25 days before flowering, use 800ppm chlorpromazine to irrigate the corm 3 times, so that we can help Gladiolus bloom at the time you set, and more flowers.
