How to Dig, Cure, and Store Gladiolus OVER WINTER!

[@diannacarbajal9072]

Your son is adorable, he sure seems to know what he's doing. So cute.

[@martinphilip8998]

Same thought. He got right into it. It’s a good dad who lets him explore and be part of it.

You're kid is so cool great worker there

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

He loves helping out in the garden 😊

[@ninagiles3408]

Wow, I'm going to try this ! I don't want to mess with getting sawdust, sand, etc. if we don't need it.

[@rosemarykilmer6213]

excellent video-love your presentation style! all i needed to know

[@BackyardGardening]

Hello..Good to see you...Thank you for the great tips. Happy gardening

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Thanks for tuning in. Youre welcome! happy gardening my friend 🌿

[@martinphilip8998]

I dig mine up, pull off the old corm and put them back in the soil. I’m in zone 5 and I think it works. I plant 1000 tulip bulbs each year. I don’t bother digging them up. I just buy new. If any come back, ok.

Hey, thank you for the video! I have a basement where it isnt that chilly during winter but it is a little humid. I suppose that would be a problem? Or extrs layer of paper for protection would do the trick? It worked for my canna bulbs. TIA

[@luckycarebear9406]

Is their something u need to sprinkle on them to do make sure they don’t rot I forgot the name and didn’t catch it if u said it

[@richardforster4429]

So the new corm shouldn't have any roots on it after the old one is properly removed?

[@girly5048]

Excellent!

[@sparrow1274]

Where can I get helper as cute as yours?

[@cassandrarudolph1307]

Is it ok to put them in a brown paper bag ? I am new and never done this before and not even sure this account is active anymore

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

As long as they stay very dry and cold you’ll be set!

@@ExpeditionHomestead do u know if I have to dig up a asiatic lily? This is my first year and I don’t know what to do Someone said let the green leaves die out always on their own to give back to the bulb the stuff they need . Photosynthesis? Idk But I know I have to split the bulb but I think that’s the second or 3rd year … Do I have to put the bulb in a paper bag to ? A biggggggg one what kind of mulch do I cover my bulbs with for the winter

[@badressam473]

Is it a summer or winter bulb

[@chrystalelizabeth]

What about hyacinth bulbs? Should I leave them or dig them up?

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

What zone are you in?

[@chrystalelizabeth]

@@ExpeditionHomestead ... I honestly don't know what zone I'm in but I live in Eastern Ontario ... I planted them in the spring (I got them as a flowering plant as an Easter gift) and they flowered a second time this fall now I'm not sure of what to do with them

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Most hyacinth varieties are helardy down to Zone three so from the sounds of it you should be OK. It is generally advised to cut off the flowers before they see though to make sure that more energy gets put into the bulbs

[@chrystalelizabeth]

@@ExpeditionHomestead... thank you !!

Landscaping tricks

[@Pheonix1328]

Such a nice video! Your little one is so cute, he brought a smile to my face :3 A question I have is what do I do with the tiny corms? Do I keep them attached to the big one or separate them?

[@Pheonix1328]

@Sean Wall I feel bad throwing them away so I'll plant them :3

[@Millie7585]

I saw some throw and some save them. Id save them, no harm in it..it can only evolve in a bigger corm, amirite?

[@Pheonix1328]

​@@Millie7585 I planted them all, even the ones smaller than a pea. All the bigger ones grew two stalks but I don't know yet if they duplicated so fingers crossed. I didn't count but the vast majority of the small and tiny ones grew so I was quite surprised and now have a ton of them! (I started with six). At first I didn't think the tiny ones would grow since the bigger ones were up already, but after a while they popped and and I was quite happy :3

[@badressam473]

What if my bulb is a little small will it survive while preservation

[@fizza719]

📢Shall these small bulbs grow also , If we store them??

[@ExpeditionHomestead]

Usually as long as they aren’t smaller than 1/2” you can expect them to grow

[@fizza719]

@@ExpeditionHomestead oo O , you mean about an almond??

[@djs2356]
