Gladiolus 2021

Growing Gladiolus from seeds is a game of patience. This late autumn and beginning winter two species of Gladiolus germinated, five of five seeds of Gladiolus alatus und one of five seeds of Gladiolus floribundus. I keep them in an unheated but frost-free greenhouse. The temperatures drop down to 1 °C. The Gladiolus floribundus grew much faster than Gladiolus alatus. But I guess both will cost me a lot of patience until the first flowers.

it already looks big for a seedling of the year.
I succeeded in making a Gladiolus tristis flower the second spring after germination in January.
its single leaf was 20 cm high before drying and its bulb 3 mm wide at the most during the rest period; if it starts glass, there is hope.
unfortunately my success ended there,
I have since lost my biggest gladiolus tristis by trying to leave them in the ground and I can no longer grow the new ones that germinate.
Is there a disease that causes gladiolus to dry out early or die?
but some species are very slow

The
Gladiolus floribundus
is 19 cm high and looks like a small Gladiolus. When I grow bulbs from seeds, I don't pick the corms out of the soil in the first year normally. I let the corms rest in the substrate and keep the pot dry or nearly dry. So I have no clue about the size of the corms.

moi non plus, je ne les sors pas du pot, normalement, mais je suis trop curieuse.
voila mon résultat de semis en une saison de croissance
sorry
I don't normally take them out of the pot either, but I'm too curious. ; D
this is my sowing result in one growing season

magnificent!
I still have to progress to make them develop faster and flourish!
I succeeded in tristis and carneus in 1 and 2 years, and flanaganii in 3 years, the others do not grow enough!
and even species that are already well developed, I do not always manage to make them flower

G. saundersii is a summer growing species and quite easy to grow, far easier than any winter growing species (species that Fermi manage to grow well also) !

It flowered for the first time 2 years ago. Don't remember when I sowed it but it's not the slowest and it's multiplying well. One of the most easy winter growing species that I grow.

A very sweetly scented Gladiolus alatus.
