Thank you for this video. I started some inside in shallow trays of water. Im succession planting a few each week. I put tulle netting around the newly planted plants/ seeds/bulbs so the squirrels and birds leave them alone. I move the net after a few weeks when the soil isn’t freshly dug. I also leave little trays of water for the wild animals because sometimes they are just thirsty. That’s why they get into the tomatoes and other foods
This is *so* good! Thank you. I’m getting ready to begin the process of transplanting gladdies (and others) from my cousin’s former home to his new one. I share the house, so I’m glad (ahem) that I will be around to see the full results.
Thank You SO MUCH for breaking down the description by content!! That’s an amazing feature I wish other creators would do! (That right there just made me a subscriber 💯 ❤🎉)
Hi! Thanks for watching! We showed several updates on our videos that summer and lots of photos on our Instagram page, too (instagram.com/spokengarden)! The glads all bloomed beautifully and are popping up already for this season!
This video is perfect for me I've got a huge pot with about 15 gladioli in it the leaves are about a foot tall - no flowers yet I planted them in late march so 3 months ago - I wondered if I could transplant them into the ground - I'll do it later in the year 🪻 thank you for showing this 🪻some of my small trowels have measurements on the handles so I can push the handle into the soil to make a nice deep hole 🧑🌾
How often should you divide your glads that are planted in the ground? A friend of mine planted some six years ago. They are very leafy but have very few blooms. Honestly, I think they are too packed in but I'm trying to convince her of that.
You would be right, all other things being equal. Needing to divide glads, and other bulbs, can depend on different factors, including how much room or lack of it there is for them to grow. Usually, the denser the bulb planting without minimal spacing the lower or less those bulbs will flower. This is seen also in daffodils, irises, hyacinth, and many others. If the bulbs are growing right next to each other, they should be "divided" or thinned so they have at least 4-6 inches of spacing between each bulb. We've seen ours grow for only 2 years until, in the beginning of the 3rd year, they definitely needed to be thinned and transplanted to make more room for each bulbs roots to grow into. There is more, but we don't want to get too long here. Hope this helps and thank you for watching and commenting! 👋👋
My gladioluses are currently blooming beautifully, but I would like to transfer them to a bigger pot. When should I transfer the bulbs? Do I need to wait for them to be done with blooming and the leaves have fallen off? Or can I transfer them right after they are done Witt blooming! Thank you for your advise.
I would wait until thwy finish photosynthesis so the green leaf parts continue to feed the bulbs . Then once they die back dig and move them . That if they are alreadt flowering.
Would u be able To tell me what the little tiny little balls are attached to my bigger bulbs ? And what do I do with them? I will be planting them outside at zone 5 New Hampshire .. I haven’t watched the video but how far apart do the glads have to be to plant
Hi Cassandra! 👋 Thank you for watching and asking your questions! Sounds like you might have some baby-Glads there. Congratualtions! Yay!! Keep the small glads and plant them along with your more mature ones, spacing them around 5-6 inches apart, so each of the mature and smaller ones have plenty of room to grow. If you want a fuller looking grouping of glads, you can plant the mature, older ones around 3-4 inches apart in more of the center of your planting and then plant the baby glads around the perimeter of the older ones, and the babies being 5-6 inches apart from each other and the older ones. Just FYI, if planting or transplanting right now, be sure to double check your cold hardiness zoning and how hardy your glads are (or any plant). If not hardy, you can always bring them inside over the winter to then replant them in the spring. Hope that helps and thank you for watching and being here!! 😉😃
I started glads indoors and waiting for them to sprout, what size pot should I plant them in? I can’t plant outdoors due to the damaged dirt around my house 😢
Hi there! Yes, they could still flower, even if they are well into their growth for this year. Best to transplant them when still dormant or just beginning to grow. The larger they are growing above ground before they flower, and you do transplant them, the higher the chance they might not flower after that transplanting. Hope that makes sense and thank you for watching! 😊😀
This was great. I am going to take mine up. Some of them did not bloom. Do I wait until they dry out or take them while they are still green? Do I clip them off? We have early winters. Or is it ok to wait until it is under 0 degrees C?
Hi Theresa! 👋 Great questions! For the glads that didn't bloom, this could be from their age where they aren't mature enough to bloom yet, especially if they are only 1-2 years old. It could also be that you have many, many glads in one area and they are all competing for nutrients and water, where there isn't enough for all of the to grow and flower, and so some will just grow and not flower. If digging up to protect over the winter months, let them keep growing until their leaves turn yellow and/or brown. Then dig them up and then cut off the stem just above where the stem is attached to the corm (bulb). Let them dry in a cool, dry place (shed, garage, etc..) for a week or two and then place for long-term cool/dry/dark storage until spring when the soil temps warm up (frost free) in March or April. The coldest most glads are hardy down to is in Zone 8, which is around 10-degrees F, so don't let your glads be exposed to this cold of a temperature. Hope that helps and thanks again for being here! 😃😉
I need help people are telling me so many different things I have no idea what to do maybe you do I live in zone five New Hampshire USA I have these kinds of plants in my garden and I don’t know what to do with them I’ve never grown them before I don’t know anything about growing flowers this is my first year people are telling me to deadhead them and to leave it just like that so that the bulb can get all the the photosynthesis can continue what it needs to be doing then I hear other people saying that I need to dig them up and put them in a Ziploc bag Just as they are with the ball put the bulb in a Ziploc bag and put it into a dark cool place I don’t know what to do with this plan can you help me tell me what I’m supposed to do before the ground freezes do I pull the bulb out before winter ? And do I put holes in the ziploc bag? …
Hi Cassandra! 👋 Thank you for asking your great question and we are sorry you are getting soo much conflicting information. Hang in there. 💪 You got this! 💪 It sounds like you might not know what bulbs you have and that can make this even more frustrating. How about you send us an email with some photos of your plant's flowers and leaves, along with a photo of each whole plant so we can then help you identify which bulbs you have and then come up with a game plan for you. Send us your plant photos to seanandallison@spokengarden.com and we will keep an eye out for your email. We are excited to help you with this and can't wait to see your beautiful plants.
@@SpokenGarden thank u and I will Some of the bulbs are being shipped out to me so I will send u the ones the names of the ones I am getting along with the ones I have already and the questions.. I just want simple answers if I could .. what’s the simplest way to handle my garden is best ! Ttys ty
@@SpokenGarden I think I messed up I ordered 35 tulips and my garden is small which forced me to dig my glads up early ! I heard I have wait till the leaves are brown . Anyhow I am drying the bulbs out now with the leaves attached to them in front of the heater.. Is that ok Or should I not and take them Back outside and then dry on their own? Also How do I properly cut the leaves to get the bulbs ? Is that what your video shows I need to take the roots off it ? Can u link videos maybe or does your video show this
Hi Marc! 👋 Good to hear from you and good point. There is always a chance of transplant shock when doing this, and we didn't talk about this in the video. We do anticipate some transplant shock with all the long-stemmed and large-leaved glads, but we also are anticipating them still flowering, just delayed a bit. Standard and best practice is to transplant in fall when they are done flowering and are starting their dormancy OR in early spring. We chose to do it now to fit our own needs and for our current gardening circumstances (garden-nomads). Hope that helps everyone understand a little better this video and our expectations. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😉👍
I accidentally planted mine right next to a sprinkler head!! It's knocking them over left and right. I have to move them. These have not grow very tall yet, it's late July now. Ugh
Thanks guys. I'm going to separate my beautiful gladis and give them to my neighbour, now that I know how!
Very cool! Glad to have helped and have fun!

How old were the plants when you transplanted them? I’d like to start mine early in zone 5b.

yeahh I just ordered bulbs a few weeks ago from Eden Brothers!!
Yay! Our fave bulb supplier!

What do I do with so many baby glads coming up next the parent plant? April 11. Thanx
Same q lol
My Glads are in the ground, not in a pot so it will take a little longer but, this video was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Of I Transplant them from the ground that haven't bloomed yet into a pot. Will they still bloom?

I love glad's but none of mines bloom this year. I just have very tall green stalks. What advice do you have😢
Potassium.

@@SpokenGarden thank u and I will

I’m gonna watch the video I have it saved
Hi Cassandra! 👋 Thank you for saying that and we hope it helps you in your garden!! 😉👍
@@SpokenGarden how long does it take for the babies to grow ?
I have tons of them
@@SpokenGarden I think I messed up
I ordered 35 tulips and my garden is small which forced me to dig my glads up early !
I heard I have wait till the leaves are brown .
Anyhow
I am drying the bulbs out now with the leaves attached to them in front of the heater..
Is that ok
Or should
I not and take them
Back outside and then dry on their own?
Also
How do I properly cut the leaves to get the bulbs ?
Is that what your video shows
I need to take the roots off it ?
Can u link videos maybe or does your video show this
What's with the knife, why not just use a small shovel?
I cant help but think this transplanting in active growth will cause them to shock.....this is better off being done in fall.....or very early spring
