[@ramyajegannathan4673]

Is it ? Where can I get good bulbs... I mean through online.. any website u know...

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@ramya jegannathan, I got the bulbs from nursery as it was really cheap - only Rs 5 for one bulb. If nursery is not possible, I believe you can try Amazon - Kraft Seeds Gate Garden Gladiolus Flower Bulbs or Nurserylive? Price is also reasonable - 199 for 15 bulbs.

[@ramyajegannathan4673]

Thank you very much for your immediate response... I’ll try to get it now... I love plants a lot... especially flowers but now I started growing vegetables too... it’s actually a good experience too... actually where is your location to know about the temperature or climate there... I live in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu... here the temp would between 28 to 32 on normal days... in summer it would go maximum to 39 degrees...

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@@ramyajegannathan4673 , most welcome :-) Same here, I love all the plants but somewhat addicted to flowering plants comparing to foliage plants. I am from Guwahati (Assam) and current temperature is almost same as you. But from end of Dec, it would be bit more cold. Summer it's too hot and average temperature is around 32° - 34°. Good to know you have started growing vegetables too, Good luck n hope you are going to have great harvesting :-) I would upload many videos soon like - Carrots, Radish, Cauliflower, Knol Khol etc...Anyway, nice to speak with you. Thank you :-)

[@parveenfatima]

We have lot of monkeys who eat up every part of the gladiolus plant. Still I will continue to plant them. It will be a treat if they grow in summers as well from the same pot.

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Parveen Fatima, They grow back in Summer in the same pot :-) In summer, need t protect from too much direct Sun or else, the blooms fade away so fast. Other than Gladiolus, you can plant many other summer bulbs. For example, I have listed few here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/joOZlp2cqaZ2ba8 Good luck in growing them :-)

Hi.. my gladiolus have good leaves.. it’s more than three months no blooms seen.. any advice regarding this...

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@ramya jegannathan, Honestly saying, I don't see any other options other than waiting for some more days. Since they have good leaves, they should bloom soon. The maturity of bulbs really matters a lot...my amaryllis lily didn't bloom first year..but this year they bloomed really well. Many other didn't bloom as well like - Spider, Aztec, Ixia etc..Unfortunately, we don't get matured bulb always when buying online :-( I hope, your Gladiolus would bloom soon :-) Since, temp is rising, plz don't provide them whole day of Sun now. 3-4 hours would be more than enough. Thank you :-)

[@GardeningUpbeat]

@Richa Pant, thank you for your question. I am really afraid and I won't recommend you to grow Gladiolus if temp goes down to about -1 in Dec (as they bloom well when temp is around even 35°C). Instead, you can grow TULIP :-) Truly extraordinary and I have failed many times to grow it in my place because of hot temperature :-( Some more you can consider - Hyacinth, Iris, Ornithogalum, Allium etc..If you have any questions, plz let me know and I would get back to you ASAP!
