- How To Plant, Divide, and Store Gladiolus Corms
Planting Tip- Set the corms 4 to 5 inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart in groups or rows. Gladiolus prefer well-prepared garden soils with good drainage.

Omg the kitty kitty at the end was so darn cute with her paw helping you pat the dirt!!!🐈⬛💜
I love the cat at the end helping out...LOL
bigmike12396 The cutest! She's in a lot of our latest videos! Getting so big too! Thanks for watching!
Kitten blessing them as they go in🥰
Thank you for showing step by step, short and sweet, all the necessary actions needed to propagate corms especially the tiny ones!
The glads need to dry for about 2 weeks before you remove the old corm.
Your videio is exactly what I was looking for and you did a fine job showing me how to dig up, divide and replant my glads. I love the "slice vertically" tip, something I did not know! Kudos to you and Thank You!
Thank you so much Ron enjoy your glads! I also have a video showing how I cut the corms for propagating.
Such a helpful kitty❤️
She was such a good girl we miss her lots.
Oh your kitty is so sweet!
Thank you so much for this info. I'm in Chicago and we just dug up our glad corms in DEC! I really hope their okay. I'm storing them in vermiculite in a box with holes in a cool, dark, and dry space for the winter. I'm glad you mentioned the tiny cormlets. I didn't know if they were viable and whether or not I should discard them. Now, I know to plant them. Thanks again😍
A very informative video! I was worried I wasn't doing my first batch of bulbs any justice but you helped me feel better.
Awesome! They are kinda of hard to kill so you’ve got some wiggle room!
These are one of my favorite cut flowers thier so easy to grow and thier so pretty thank you for sharing and the cat at the end helping you was to precious
Crystal Patten Thank you! I’m about to post a video of some really pretty ones that are new to the garden this year! Check it out coming this week!
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage looking forward to it I am obessed with flowers... if only I had lottery money ha ha I'd hurt myself buying flowers😜
Crystal Patten 🤣🤣🤣 Me too! I give up things like Starbucks and chips so I can buy more flowers lol!
Thank you. I live in Kansas and like these flowers. I was wondering about them growing new bulbs, didn't know one could split them in half vertically. Yeah, I know I have to pull them up and store them over winter. Thanks for the info.
Thank you Kent! You can even cut them in 4ths I’m filming a video on it today so keep a lookout for it!
I sure did not know about a new corm every year, Thanks.
Jerry Stone ☺️ 💟Thank You!💟
Oh my what a cutie kitty🥰 made me 😃
Charlene was a GREAT kitty gardener!
Thank you this was very helpful!
Finally! After many vids you answered my question! Thank you
Im surprised with gladiolus its really easy to plant. I planted mine in a big pot around mid of Feb and now the leaves is like 15 inches tall. Recently i placed out of my patio and i have notice that theres a stem growing that can hold flowers. I cant wait to see the flower blooms soon! 😀
Yes they are so pretty! They will bloom faster if planted in the ground in full sun.
Te saludo desde el ecuador me fascinan los gladiolos
Thank you

Thanks for the great tips. I am hoping for a Happy New Year with great looking Gladiolus flowers.
Good luck I’m sure you’ll have a beautiful show!
Adorable cat!!
Thanks, a much more informative video than the one that I was linked to.
Thank you for watching!
The cat at the end lol.
A very enjoyable video. I love Glads, and my bulbs are going to winter storage in a few more days. Also I too have a precious calico cat, same colors as yours, short coat too, white paws and her name is Chloe. I would kiss car cat if I were gardening with him.
Ahw we love having cats on the farm. They definitely do their part by catching critters especially gophers! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! this is my first year growing glads and I lifted them, but thought the old corm was on the top not the bottom!! would've been sad if I threw those away :p
Oh my I might cry if I did that! Lol I’m so attached to mine especially the ones I’ve had for years.
Son unas bellas flores Saludos a los qué cuydan de ellas
Gracias mi amigo!
Hi from NC thanks

Thank you so much!
Nice informative video👍Your new subscriber here🤝🤝🌺🌿
Thank you and welcome!!
Great information! Your video was very helpful!
Angelgirl80817 Thank you so much!! 🌱💛🌱💛
Nice cat
Thank you! We sure miss our Charlee
Thank you for this video!! Will new plants grow from just the individual cormels? Planted glads for the first time this year and trying to do some research prior to digging them up and storing them later this fall. Also, when I planted my glads, I followed the spacing recommended on the packaging, but a lot of my glads fell over after growing... I'm thinking I should plant them much closer together? That, and/or, in an open area, this year I planted them on the west side of a building.
Yes they will be full size plants in two years. Glads will fall over regardless they need support. Planting too close together can make them smother each other out or result in smaller plants because they’re competing for space and nutrients. You would also have to dig them and divide them every year.
We live in USDA Zone 8B in Western WA. Should we be cutting the stalks down near the ground after the flowers are done blooming?
Thanks.
we found out that we had gladiolus scattered in the yard of our new home this spring. Most have died out and we pulled up the corms and baby corms. Can we plant them as they are into another area of the property right now or should we dry/cure them for next spring? We're in Zone 7B.
You can plant them right now in your zone but I would wait until spring there will be less chance of rot that way.
What do the cormlets do? And can they be planted on their own
They eventually grow into corms in about a year or two. Yes they can be planted or just left in the soil.
Great info.
My one stalk of gladeolias has seed pods. Will that produce plants?
Thank you for the information. This is my first year growing purple gladiolus. I was clueless on what to do with the corms afterwards and didn’t want to waste them. If I cut back the leaves can I just leave them in the ground?
Yes as long as you don’t have too many freezing days in winter. Don’t cut the leaves back until they start to die back though because they need the energy to make next year’s corms. 💟Thank You!💟
Where I am maximum it will fall to is 14F. Do u think need to dig them up? Also what is the best way (shape wise to plant them so u don't have to worry about support bit also looks nice? In a bunch like a circle of lines/rows? Thanks.
It gets down to 10° here and I leave mine in the ground. As long as you don’t have weeks and weekday that temp they should be fine. You could also pile hay on top for extra insulation if you’re worried. As far as keeping them upright and tidy some people like to use a flower net if they are in rows. I don’t do anything for mind but some do fall over. I think when they are planted densely in round bunches they tend to hold a bit better.,
Hi I am MISA from JAPAN! Can I ask you why your Bulbs are so huge? Mine are less than your 1/2 size, Would you mind tell me How to ?
They might just be younger bulbs. Plant them and next year they will make larger ones.
Shall these Tiny white bulbs could also grow?? Could we store them also??
You can’t store them but yes they will grow if left in the soil. That’s if you’re in a warmer climate. They dry too fast for storing.
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage actually we are in kashmir, india
Can the cornlets be stored if lifting for winter or can they be left on the corm? Everything I see says remove them but doesn't say whether they are garbage or to be stored overwinter (zone 5)
I saw another YT gardener who said the cormlets can be stored over winter and planted in the spring along with the full-sized corms. They said it takes 2 or 3 years for the cormlets to become large enough to produce blooms. I'm guessing I should dig up the cormlets again each fall because they'll become bigger and stronger with each season.
@@lavenderbutterfly1433 yeah I'll probably plant them in pots to keep track of them
Yes you can store them like you would seed or you can leave them in the ground if your climate is milder.
When do l know when to plant what month......and when to pull out of the ground what month . I get cold winter 10 - 25 F Winter
You shouldn’t need to pull for winter unless you have several days below zero. You can plant them anytime from spring through summer.
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage oh that’s interesting I surely thought my winters were to cold for them to stay out.side. Thank you so much
I'm in southern Australia, and the winters are mild , a few days may get down to 32 to 34f but mainly 40s or better. If I choose to leave the bulbs in, after cutting back the leaves should I cover with compost for the winter? And how about lillies, the same ?
You probably don’t need to cover them at all if the temps don’t drop below 20°. In fact you will likely get a lot of extra corms in your climate each year for gladiolus. Your lillies should do fine also just left in the ground. We have a few days in winter that can drop down to 12° and ours survive fine. It just can’t stay that low for long extended periods of time. Plant a bunch you’ll love them! ☺️
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage thank you so much . My first year of growing them and lillies. Been beautiful so far with the colors. Appreciate the help . :)
What to do with these Tiny white bulbs...
Plant them!
While i am storing them in the pots when do i have to water them again?
Shubham Sutty You don’t need to water them again until you plant them in spring. 🙂
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage thank you so much for replying....but my question is that i am not digging them out and storing in a place i am keeping them planted throughout the year 😄......so what's your opinion. i have a climate where i can skip the step of storing the bulbs.
Oh ok as long as they don’t freeze just leave them be. They are dormant and don’t need much water in winter. Make sure to feed them mid spring though!
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage thank you so much for your help
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage TV
I have them on a pot, can I leave them in the pot in the garage for winter season?
Yes you can as long as they don’t freeze.
What zone are you in? I have glads I didn’t plant this year. Do you think they will be good to plant now, or next year?
I’m in zone8a I would wait for spring.
If you cut the corms when would you cut them after digging up or jut before planting?
Do you have to let them callus up / heal the cut before planting ?
You would cut them before planting. So if you dig them up in the fall wait until you’re about to plant them in spring or summer. You can let them callus up or you can soak them in fungicide and plant right away. I’ve got a video uploading tomorrow showing exactly how I do it.
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage .....my dahlias dies out over winter when i was told it was ok to leave them in the ground in SF BAY AREA :( ..so i adding more gladiolus corms and will pull them out before winter...Thank you for the info.
What zone are you in? I’m in 8a and I don’t have to pull mine up. We usually get some snow but it doesn’t get down past 10° and usually stays about 30° on average. Sad about your dahlias wish I could grow those here.
@@MilkAndHoneyAcreage I'm in Zone 9b
Richmond Ca
Oh ok then you can definitely leave them in the ground and they will come back up every year.
Will bulbs grow in Sand?.
As long as they can get enough nutrients yes.
I don't mean to be rude but you're video pic says GADIOLUS instead of Gladiolus.
😵 Lol how did I not notice? 🤦🏻♀️Thank you!
I am confused with the the part you took off and tossed.... 😞
That’s the old form it doesn’t have any energy left in it so it won’t grow anything. Gladiolus grow new corms every year.
😂
Please wear gloves to keep your skin healthy -- and pull all of that grass out of the garden
No thanks my skin is very healthy I like to connect with the earth. If I pulled all the grass that’s all I would ever do I wouldn’t have a garden. Lol
Bggggggg
