Dig and store gladiolus bulbs
Gladiolus are safe for some zones to leave in the ground as a perennial
If you live in a zone that is susceptible to cold weather like I do then digging your glads and storing them is super easy.
1. Dig up the corms and shake off the dirt
2. Place them in a dry spot to dry off the remaining dirt cut off stems leaving 2' on top of corm
3. Put them on sawdust or newspaper until dry
4. Corms can be put into a mesh sack or sawdust to overwinter
5. Plant out in the spring

Good 👍
❤❤gotta trust a garden video and a guy with a name like Beaver 🦫 😄.. thanks buddy.... digging mine this weekend. From Oregon....the Beaver state 🤣🤣🤣
I dug mine uo today since all of them practically died we had strong winds. I cut them and vased them up, so im now getting ready to store them but some were squishy im a beginner 😅
Let them air dry for a few days then pack in sawdust
I thought squishy corms were dead but mother nature is wild this year there coming up so i guess there not dead
Should I experiment and leave them in the ground this year and take a chance? We got 4 feet of snow last Christmas 🎄 😳 and 17 inches of the stuff last March 20th.....
I’m digging about 1/2 of mine this year to hedge my bet and rolling the dice on the rest in the ground. That way I don’t have to store so many. This year I have hundreds of tiny new ones on the edges of the corms so I’ll take some of them also
Hello... Do you throw out the old bulb? Or can we replant it again ?
Replant them
Mine just.get smaller...not worth storing...no.matter how.much i feed them....soil..i think it is the HOT AS HELL SUMMERS. Aint no way in hell any tulip would.come back either.. south.texas sucks.
Sorry to hear yours just get smaller. You’re probably right everyone has a different zone and climate that will effect your plants
Well rats.... better luck to you... 🍀🍀😊😊
