Not uncommon, when adults who score plant growth do not give color. Of the dozen planted gladiolus bulbs, at least one will not bloom. Let's try to figure out why gladiolus do not bloom: the cause of bad growth can be hidden in climate, soil or landing material. Gladiolus, like other living beings are susceptible to diseases, pest overpowers them.

Non-quality planting material

One of the reasons for the lack of flowering in the gladiolus is the choice of poor-quality material. The planting material of gladiolus is important to choose carefully. What should be paid when buying planting bulbs:

1. The plant must be adapted to the local climate. Gladiolus do not bloom due to the unsuitable climate. Southern flowers do not fit in a cold climate and vice versa. Late or medium grades simply do not have time to gain strength and bloom in a short and cold summer.
2. Lukovitsa choose large, young. Old and small may not bloom, in addition, acquiring old bulbs, you can buy patients with plants.

Some varieties, for example, many Dutch, bloom with interruptions per year or 2. It is necessary to specify the seller features the selected variety.

Unsuitable landing site

Not the last role in flowering plays and landing site. When choosing a plot, it is important to take into account all the features. For flowerbeds, you should carefully choose a place:

• Gladiolus - light-loving plants. In the garden among trees or shadows of the house, the plants will bloom late, and the late varieties may not have time to gain color.
• Place for flower beds should be changed every 2 years. The Earth is gradually depleted and the colors will not have enough useful substances. Plants will be weak and do not bloom. Next season, try to break the flowerbed elsewhere.
• The flower bed under gladiolus should be in a ventilated place. Otherwise, the spread of fungal bacteria is possible. Sick plants will not bloom.
• The lack of moisture can be affected on flowering, the poet flower leaf is better in lowland, where moisture is delayed longer in the soil.

Wrong landing

Incorrect landing is one of the main errors of the beginner flower. For planting bulbs there are its secrets and it is worth considering a few points:

1. Young plants should be seated separately from New Year. The latter will score a weaker young and will not give strength. For old bulbs, make a separate flowerbed.
2. Improper depth of the wells is another reason. For light soil, the depth of the well - 4 diameters of the bulbs, for easy - 3. Too deep planting of the bulbs usually delays the growth of plants.
3. Plant gladiolus better in drought. The soil must be fine. Optimal temperature up to + 10 ° C. You can land at different times and achieve long flowering. The last landing time is the end of May.

Adverse weather conditions

The climate also plays a big role:

• Heat and drought are not the conditions under which gladiolus will bloom. Additional watering of plants is required. It is best to do it in the evening when it is bad for a waning. This is done not only for soil moisturizing, but also helps to cool it.
• And on the contrary, the cold and rainy summer will also not give gladiolis to bloom.

Lack of proper care

All plants need care and careful care. Only some reasons, due to which the flowers do not raise strength, and therefore, and do not bloom:

1. Insufficient nutrient nutrients in the land chosen for landing. On the lung soils, the bait should be root and extractive, then it is better learned.
2. Gladiolus need soil ventilation. After irrigation, it should be good to explode the ground around the plant. If there was not enough seed material, it does not bloom without this procedure.
3. The first time the flowers feed the urea and potassium when they appear 3 adults leaf. In phase, 4 leaves spend the second feeding the same fertilizers.

For feeding it is better to use water-soluble forms: the first 3 procedures are better to make nitrogen fertilizers (they are better absorbed), follow-up - phosphorus-potassium without chlorine.

For better growth it is worth making soil mulch. What is it for:

• Keeps moisture in the soil.
• Controls the temperature balance of the soil. The root system is protected from overheating or supercooling.
• During watering or rain, nutrients will not wash out the soil.
• The earth does not dry out and is not covered with solid crust.
• Mulch does not allow the weeds that will score flowers.

Blossom influences the correctness of the cutting. When cutting blooming colors it is worth leaving at least 4 leaves on the plant. Otherwise, the outflow of nutrients will occur. Clubneelukovitsa replacement will form a weak.

Bad if young gladioluses bloom too early. If the plant bloomed, barely reached a diameter of 1.5 cm, its further growth will slow down and the next year the flower may not bloom. In this case, it is worth breaking the originable colors buds. Coloros should be removed so as not to exhaust either the process, nor the "maternal" bulb.

Digging the bulbs after the first strong frosts. This is usually the end of September - the beginning of October.

Diseases and pests

Fusariosis

In this case, the root system is poorly developed, the leaves do not grow. In the summer, leafy plates remain green for a long time. Later, all the plant turns yellow and easily pulls out of the ground. Red-brown spots are clearly visible on sick bulbs. Affected gladiolus should be destroyed.

The development of this disease contributes to excessive humidity or, on the contrary, severe drought. Do not get involved in fertilizers - excess organic increases the risk of disease. Also, the disease is distributed already infected bulbs.

To cure the sick plants is difficult. In order to prevent prevention, it is necessary to withstand the bulbs in the Fundazola solution (0.02%).

Tripses

These insects love to eat with gladiolus juice. Usually they will fall in buds, where they are difficult to notice. After falling, the colors of the trips move into the bulbs where the winter is safely worried.

In order not to give this insect to settle in bud, the plant during the growing season spray with actar or accuters before the start of flowering. Depending on the preparation, the processing is repeated with a periodicity of 10-14 days. During the season, process a plant is 3-4 times.

In order to protect the dug bulbs in the winter period, they should be shifted: to wash and load into 3% carbofos or fuffanon solution for 7-12 minutes. Then rinse again and dry.

Experienced floweries advise placing planting bulbs in a package, spray it with dichlorophos and close it tightly. After half an hour, get them out of the package and decompose for drying in the warm room. After 2 weeks, the bulbs go through, old to separate from the Donets.

For greater safety, it is better to put the bulbs in airtight container and put in a cool place. From time to time, get the bulbs for venting.

Wire

Another pest is a wire. The ubiquitous larva of the beetle-clutch. It is capable of being in the ground 4 years and eat almost any harvest

The bulb, tied with a wire, will not have strength on flowering. To protect the bulb from this and other pests, it is necessary to enter the "Protection" to the well (1 tbsp. L.).

Next season should take into account the errors of the previous one and then the gladiolus will delight with lush flowering.
