Italian gladiolus Gladiolus italicus

Italian gladiolus I like the article

Watering Italian gladiolusTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. These plants don't need too much water; staying in a soil which is too damp, can easily cause the development of rotten in the bulbs.

Exposure Italian gladiolusSole pieno
the Italian gladiolus should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight. These plants don't agree with cold temperatures during this time of year. They can be grown outside.If necessary we can extract the bulbs from the ground, during the vegetative rest; after letting them dry we should place them in a cool, dry and dark place. During the most indicated season we can plant them again.

Generalities Italian gladiolus
These plants have trunks or roots which store nourishment, originating bulbs or tubers. These plants have an erect, columnar development. The Italian gladiolus is large in size and 1 m in height; in the summer it assumes a pink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Treatments Italian gladiolus
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil Italian gladiolus
Locate in a deep and dissolved soil, with an accentuated drainage.
