How to take care of newly bought gladiolus

1. Potting soil

It is best to use plastic pots or unglazed ceramic pots to grow gladiolus at home. Don't just pick a pot and plant it, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of gladiolus. As for the soil, it is preferred to use sandy soil with good drainage and thick soil layer. Be careful not to change the soil during the potting period.

2. Watering

Don't water the newly bought gladiolus too much. One reason is that it does not require much water, and the other is that its root system has poor absorption capacity. Excessive watering can easily lead to water accumulation. Just water it appropriately to keep the soil moist.

3. Fertilization

Gladiolus likes fertilizer. After buying it home, you can apply some decomposed liquid fertilizer to the soil to promote the growth of the plant. But be careful not to add too much, otherwise the plant will not be able to fully absorb it, it will easily burn the roots and damage the plant.

4. Temperature

Temperature has a great influence on the growth of gladiolus. It is best to control the temperature between 15-25 degrees, which can allow gladiolus to adapt to the new environment faster and resume normal growth.
