Ohio State University horticulturists advise planting gladioli bulbs in full sun with well drained sandy soil. Prepare soil by removing sod, mixing topsoil, leaf mold, and peat moss, then trench six inches deep and fertilize. Plant bulbs four to six inches deep and apart, water well, and mulch to conserve moisture. Stake or mound as they grow to protect from wind.
Check stored bulbs and tubers including dahlia begonia canna caladium roots and gladiolus corms for decay insects and dehydration. If rot is found trim away the decayed part and dry the cut area before storage. Shriveling indicates too dry storage and materials should be moistened carefully without making them wet.
