Thanks for the great information. I know your bulb gets more energy for healthier plants the next year so you ought to allow the stems to dry out some if possible. Once the green is gone your bulb can no longer store energy and then is the ideal time to dig them up weather permitting.

Thank you so much! This was my first year ever to plant glads they came up beautifully! But I didnt know what to do in the fall or if they were just annuals. Now I know what to do. Thank you so much.

I’m in zone five. I dig them up, pull the old corm and replant it straightaway. I think it works. It better since I’m looking at 300 of them. I put in new 1000 tulip bulbs every fall. It’s quite a sight.

It's better to leave them for a week or two with their leaves on until they turn brown before cutting them off, that way the bulb has more energy for the next year.

I will adopt this method, which is easy and was well explained. I will definitely wait until my tops are yellow/wilted. I'd also not leave on the old corm if it was that fat. I suspect they hold some sugars for the new corm.

That nice I never have done this before I used plant 6 inches deep and it came back few year all was jumbo bulb and live 10 below zero f in winter they come back in may for me and blooms and grew too tall and flower stalk break. And they got too old and then they died. And I find out bulb grow top every year I think that why it didnt last long and corm grew to frost line and rot and disappear for good next year after come back I will make sure I replant it and I learn it didnt spread like elephant ears do. I zone push that gladius in Colorado springs. I might will do it again this year. They are pretty.

Because I plant it 12 inches deep near my sunroom wall no winter protection.

Thank you SO much for sharing this. I am in the process of digging mine up, and I appreciate you posting this. Also, do you think this method would help with Dahlia Tubers?

@timothytitus3406 Жыл бұрын

I just do what my mom always did which is dig up the tuber roots, wash all the dirt off the roots with the hose, and let them dry off for a few days, then put them in a bucket, somehrte with no sunlight, usually just stick them in the closet over winter with a towel on top of the buckets. In the spring put a few inches of water in the bottom of the bucket and the roots will start.. after that just plant like normal

Hello! First time here. Love the information. Question...when do you pull up the bulbs, when they're done blooming or in the fall? I live in Ohio where we get freezing cold winters. First frost comes in October.

@GetGardening 3 жыл бұрын

Welcome! So glad you joined! You could wait until the first light frost comes. I like to wait as long as possible so they can photosynthesize for next year.

@bjohme2237 Жыл бұрын

You can dig 6 weeks after the corm has flowered. You don't have to wait for a frost or until the foliage yellows.

@melindaflick631 Жыл бұрын

@@bjohme2237 - I know with other bulbs I've been told to wait until all foliage is yellowed. Do you not reduce the size of the next years growth if you dig while foliage is still green? Does it not matter for glads?

@Corntassels 3 ай бұрын

@@melindaflick631 I think you're increasing the bulb's storage capacity, if you will, if you wait until they're yellowed and/or shrivelled. I know some folks treat lots of bulbs and corms like annuals, but it feels like throwing away money and flowers to lot let them complete their natural cycles, though we want to lift them. Cheers :)

@DrewIsFail 3 жыл бұрын

What is the "corm" your removing? Is it like the husk of the old seed? I'm guessing you should dry them, moisture might cause it to try to grow. But if your putting it in sand, it will dry out as well.

@GetGardening 3 жыл бұрын

That is how corms grow, the part I'm removing is the corm I planted in the ground this year, it grew the new corm for next year, I've read you should dry them, but as I said I've never taken this extra step and only have lost one or two

@bjohme2237 Жыл бұрын

You are correct, the corms should be dried before storing them! This could lead to the corms rotting. After drying for a couple weeks the old corm is easily removed. Store in a cool, dry basement, if possible in mesh bags or wire bottom trays.

Can you do anything with the tiny corms growing out from the bottom? Will they grow if I plant them? Or if I leave them in the ground? Thank you this is my first year growing gladiolus and I am in zone 5B.

@@brandyjaques6865The baby corms need 2-3 more years of growing to develop a flower stalk. Replant them next year, dig up and store as usual. I am in 5a/6 zone and if I left them in the ground for the winter they will turn to mush.
