Thank you for the wonderful and informational video. I planted Gladiolus a few years ago. Even though I live in zone 6b, I left them in over the winter and no problem except this year and a few blubs was coming out of the ground, so I decided to pull all of them up and do some research. From one other video and mainly yours I will now store them inside in the winter and propagate them for next year.

@MilkAndHoneyAcreage 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you Dave! If you wait until the fall after they’ve had a chance to bloom you’ll get bigger corms and this works best with bigger corms because you might still get blooms the next year. Otherwise if you use small corms you might not get your first bloom from the propagated corm for two years. Good luck thank you for watching!

Thank u for the lovely information. May I ask, how o u keep them up without them flopping down or needing stakes? Also how do u overwinter them. Do u cut off the dried up leaves Nd mulch. When do u cut them if u do?

@MilkAndHoneyAcreage 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly I just plant them close together and sometimes they still lay over. I cut the leaves back only when they have died back. I leave mine in the ground because I’m in zone eight and it doesn’t get cold enough here to kill them. If you’re in a colder zone dig them up in the fall before the first frost and store in a paper bag in a cool dark place until it warms up in spring. ☺️

@lifelife9533 4 жыл бұрын

Recently subbed!!! I had some wonderful glad blooms this year and was wondering, if I don't choose to propagate this year; when should I cut them down to knubs? Should I cut them down? I did cut most already for cut flowers. I haven't been growing very long so I don't know if my lingo is correct. Lower zone 8, borderline 9. I know this isn't the exact forum for this so apologies for being slightly off topic.

@MilkAndHoneyAcreage 4 жыл бұрын

Do you mean when should you cut the leaves or the flowers? You can cut the flowers at anytime during or after blooming. The leaves you want to be until they die completely back. They need those leaves to generate energy so they can form next year’s corms. I hope that’s helpful. 🥰

@lifelife9533 4 жыл бұрын

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage Very much so. Now that I have cut most of them for inside, all that is left is stems and leaves and I very much wanted to cut those back to knubs, but it sounds like I need to leave them alone until the leaves die off naturally. It's ok to cut'em back then right?

@MilkAndHoneyAcreage 4 жыл бұрын

Yes once they die back you can cut them. You can cut them now but I don’t recommend it because you may get extra corms next year if you don’t.

Does anyone know how long it will take for the cut corns to form calluses? I have followed the instructions here, even soaking my cut corns in milk and water, but I don’t know how long I should let the cut pieces dry. I want to put them back in the ground soon since I live in coastal Carolina in zone 8a and we usually leave glads in the ground over the winter. I only dug mine up this time around so I could divide them. I have a beautiful pink variety of Gladiolus named ‘Invitatae’ that no one seems to sell anymore. So I was very happy to come across this video on how to make more from the ones I already have. I just want to make sure I do everything right because I would hate to lose any after cutting up the few bulbs that I have. Thank you so much.

Being in Zone 6a, I made a silly mistake last winter by planting corms in Fall and when Spring finally came, I was very disappointed to find out about half of the corms didn't come back. Later on I realized it's the harsh winter that killed those corms... Making one corm into 4 by cutting is a good idea to multiply but it probably won't produce (big) flowers in the 1st year, but I am tempted... Any comments?

@MilkAndHoneyAcreage 3 жыл бұрын

It won’t produce a flower at all the first year unless the conditions are perfect. Might even take two years. You’ll have to dig your corms up and store them for the winter or cover them with a 12” layer of hay mulch. I would recommend just digging them up and storing them though. What a shame you lost some though hate when that happens.

@classicalconcerto6742 3 жыл бұрын

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage Thank you for a quick comment! I think I will just go to the Menards to buy some more corms in the Fall, and I think I will need to buy more of other bulbs as well since I just almost doubled the size of my flower bed and next year maybe to open another patch! What the hack, working at home has saved me tones of time which is perfect to spend in gardening! Cheers and all the best

@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage BTW, do you think the baby corms will survive in storage through the long winter in "high and dry" condition like the mature ones?

@stephenanderle5422 9 ай бұрын

Don't cut your corms, they will rot! Peel the top shell off and you will see eyes, each of which will produce a stalk and a bulb. Leave the bottom on until you plant them. Then peel the bottom off and dust it with powdered sulfur. To keep fungus away till they start growing leaves. You can dust them in fall but don't pull the bottom off until you are ready to plant them.

Each piece must have an eye or it won't grow. If you want to multiply them, plant the small forms that form from the runners under the main bulb. The bigger the bulb the more eyes it will have. Each eye will produce a stalk and a new bulb.
