Gladiolus kids, landing and care

Gladiolus are considered to be kings of flower. Beautiful slender and high plants with wide range of colors will not be able to leave indifferent even the most avid skeptics. They look amazingly, both independently and in the neighborhood with other flowers on the flower bed. How to grow gladiolus from kids on the plot with your own hands, let's tell me further.

Features of growing gladiolus kids

To grow a beautiful flowerub of gladiolus, you need to know the features of planting and care for this plant:

  • When growing gladiolus, a landing section should be changed at least 1 time in 3 years. A bulb growing in one place for several years can degrade what will affect the quality of flowering. It is better to change the type of soil. For example, if gladioluses grew on the sandy soil, they are transplanted to a plot with light alumina.
  • When buying bulbs it is necessary to give preference to the varieties that were derived for a particular climate. The planting material is better chosen for a cooler climate. The fact is that the bulbs of gladiolus are better to get into a warmer climate, which is the opposite.
  • Sut the kids and adults are not recommended. In this case, the latter will simply depart first. It is better to sear them in different rows.

  • Be sure to keep the depth of the plantation of bulbs. Normal indicator - 4 diameters of the bulbs. For example, if it is 5 cm, the landing depth must be 20 cm. If the bulb put too close to the surface, you will have to tune the arrow so that the plant does not fall. If you move a little with a depth, the plant may not be bloated at all.
  • When choosing a landing area, you should give preference to well-lit and ventilated areas. Gladiolus without light may not bloom at all, especially for later varieties. Stagnation of moisture can adversely affect the state of the bulbs, which will lead to the appearance of fungal diseases.
  • Special attention should be paid to the reproduction of gladiols, billet and storage of the bulbs, the separation of children.

Gladiolus breeding children

Consider what children are gladiolus, and what to do with them. So, this method of reproduction is considered the most optimal and gives excellent results. Despite the fact that the gladiolus is a perennial plant, its bulb will be degraded over time and with each new season gives the worst results. As a rule, the normal term of "work" of one bully is 3-4 years, after which there are signs of its aging:

  • Inflorescences bloom later than usual.
  • The number of babies on the bulb decreases.
  • Flowers decrease in size.
  • Plogging plants begin to root often.

The aging of the bulbs much complicates the process of plant care. The only way out of this situation is the cultivation of children who are designed to replace the old bulb.

Buddles of the bulbs are small processes that appear on its surface. The greatest development of Gladiolus Bully reaches 3-4 years after its landing. It is at this time that she can bring up to two dozen kids. Their sizes can be different and varied from 1 mm to 15 mm. Each babe can be planted and after a while to become a beautiful flower.

Gladolus breeding kids has several advantages:

  • This method allows you to significantly save time on the cultivation of the bulbs.
  • Helps to rejuvenate flower beds with gladiolus.
  • When applied in the overwhelming majority of cases, all the characteristics of the maternal flower are preserved.
  • A landed plant can already give beautiful flowering in the first season.

These factors determine the advantage of this method of reproduction before growing the bulbs from seeds.

With the right landing of the Gladiolus kids and creating normal growth conditions for it, the first shoots can be obtained after 20-25 days. The absence after the specified shoot of escape speaks of errors in the workpiece, preparation, landing or leaving the bulb.

You can buy children of gladioles in any flower shop or "from the hands" by summer houses.

Billets of gladioles for landing

The billet for the landing of gladiols is carried out in the middle of autumn. From late September, early grades are gradually starting to dig, and then - later. Little bulbs and those that grew out of the kids get the latter. If the traces of rotes (black or brown spottedness) were noticed in the process of smooth gladioles, the bulbs are digging everything, regardless of the variety and age.

Ripe bulbs have a coating in the form of dense scales. Their children are also covered with a protective layer and quite easily separated from the maternal bulbs.

After digging, the tops and roots are removed from the bulbs. They are placed in a container with a lattice bottom and are thoroughly washed with flowing water. After that, the disinfection procedure is carried out, which is as follows:

  • At the first stage of the bulbs are placed in a container with a 1% solution of Fundazola. Treatment time takes 20-30 minutes. After removing the bulbs are again washed with flowing water.
  • Next, they are treated with a 3% heatman solution.
  • After processing the bulbs lay out in the box, the bottom of which is covered with paper and dried for a month, from time to time turning them. Now they can be cleaned and sorted.
  • Cleaning is to remove dirty coarse scales.
  • After cleaning about the bulbs, you can separate the children. After separation, they must be sorted in size. Big is considered a baby with a diameter of 8 mm, medium - 6 mm. The sorted material is laid out on paper packets, and stored until spring.

Storage of Gladiolus kids

Gladiolus kids are stored at a temperature of + 5⁰s ... + 7⁰s. Paper bags with them can be put on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. For better storage in a package with kids, you can put 1-2 garlic teeth. A monthly inspection of the planting material should also be carried out with the removal of the covered and yellowed parts.

Planting children gladiolus

Before considering how to plant the kids of gladiolus, we will deal with how to choose the right to do this:

  • Already talked about the fact that the Babes of the Bulb of Gladiolusov are quite warm-loving and love sunlight. Therefore, for their landing, you should pick up a plot where the sun's rays penetrate well. It is desirable that there are no high trees that can create a shadow and semolot in the meadow. Shadow significantly slows down the growth of culture.
  • The site should be protected from severe winds of wind and drafts.
  • The soil should be drained. The ideal option will be if the site on which the children of gladiolus is grown, will be located under a slight bias in the direction of the south. This will allow to drain extra moisture.
  • For planting, weakly acidic soils are suitable - pH 6.5. If the acidity of the soil will exceed the pH of 6.8, then this may cause the development of fusariosis. It is possible to neutralize the increased acidity of the soil using the introduction of a crushed chalk or egg shell on the section (180 grams per 1 m2 of soil).

Consider how to plant babies gladiolus:

  • If you wondered how to grow babies of gladioles, then start from the dumping of the site. The soil should be loose and easy.
  • Next, the ground on the site should be pouring and make fertilizers. Phosphoric and potash fertilizers are perfectly suitable as feeding. The first-type feeders are made in the following dosages - 90 Gy of superphosphate on the m2 of soil. Potash fertilizers are added in the amount of 35-40 grams of potassium chloride on m2 of soil.
  • The optimal time for landing is the second half of the spring period (the end of April or the beginning of May of the month).
  • Each garden for growing gladioles from babies should be a width of at least 1 m. The distance between each number of colors should be approximately 25 cm.
  • Blowing the bulb of the flower follows the depth that is suitable for its size. So, for a large planting material, a hole is made at least 15 cm. For small bulbs, a pog is suitable, the depth of which is 9-10 cm.
  • We put a bulb into a prepared hole and cheer on top of her land.
  • After landing on the site, add 200-300 grams of small river sand.
  • You can bite bulbs with moss. A small layer of MCH is laid out in a bent. It will not only protect the children of gladiolus from unfavorable weather conditions, but also absorb an extra moisture, which can cause the appearance of Nikino rot.

Gladiolus kids germination: gladiolus care

If you wondered how to germinate the children of gladiolus, then read the simple rules for the culture of this culture:

  • Water gladiolus once a week, but at the same time very plentiful. With a protracted drought, the irrigation rate can be increased. Watering the plants is better late in the evening, and in the morning to explode the soil and remove weeds.
  • When the gladioluses planted with kids will grow at 8-10 cm height, the mail on the plot should be closed. It is added to it by humus. It is laid out on the surface of the soil with a layer of 6-7 cm.
  • When watering, the water should be made only in a heaters, otherwise the stagnant water, added directly under the root of the plant, can cause the root of the root.
  • The ground on the site should be periodically (1-2 times a month) loose. In this case, this operation should be taken carefully so as not to damage the root system of culture.

Gladiolus kids: diseases and pests

The plant is ill with the following diseases:

  • Brown rot. It strikes predominantly bulbs, but the plants and stalks can be sick. To cure gladioluses from a given illness with a spraying of a 1% bordeaux mixture.
  • Mosaic gladiolus. Viral disease, which can proceed from one plant to another. In this case, large lanes of yellow appear on the leaflets of culture. Calculate this disease can be cured with a 3% solution of burgundy fluid. Spraying is carried out once every 3 days.

The following parasites are annoyed by culture:

  • Gladiolusovy TRIPS. This parasite data in bulbs in flakes. It is possible to remove the parasite using a plant treatment with a 10% carbofos. Spraying spend 1 time in 10 days.
  • Root onion tick. Harmful and ticks, and their larvae. You can cope with the parasite using a 30% carbofos solution.
