I planted Gladiolus for the first time this year.

I've only started garden a few weeks ago and I tell you, the most stressful part of it is figiluring the top and bottom part of a bulb. I planted these yesterday and looks like I did it right 😂

[budgetgardeningvita]

I can't wait to plant my gladiolus bulbs in pots. They are currently pre-sprouting. The hummingbirds love them when they are blooming. Happy gardening! 🌹

[kellywilson]

I love beautiful flowers, and like to learn planting myself instead of buying all the time😂

[TheLazyHOAGardener]

Thank you. I always wondered why my gladiolus leaned. Now I know I wasn't planting them deep enough.

[kimberlyrinehart]

I just got my house and its mid July. I'm going to plant what I have, and just cross my fingers they grow!

[NinaHansen]

Thanks for that tip about planting bulbs on their side if you can’t tell which way is up! Y

Hi from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 I absolutely loved this video, everything was so perfectly explained, just fantastic for me! I have Gladioli in my garden and they are absolutely beautiful but I want to grow them in a pot so thought I’d get some info about doing this. Your video was the first one I came across. Mine have been growing in the garden for years so after flowering time I would love to have them in my pot for next year, also Ive had them growing in a depth of maybe 2 inches 🤫🤭 and they were extremely happy by the way they have been blooming, wish I could post you guys some pictures. Have a great 2025 and I’m now a new Subbie and look forward to viewing more of your videos, thank you very much for sharing your experiences and expertise for us, very much appreciated. Now when I watch I must remember the difference in our seasons 🤗🤭

Thank you!
I'll be adding PRAYER to the mix.😘✝️
Should help when I forget to water them.😖

[russburg]

Great job. Great directions, y'all made it so easy to understand. Thanks.✝️

[tennisjunkpm]

I just picked up some bulbs, my first attempt- your video is awesome and it will guide me! Wish me luck…😊😊

[ibettita]

I’ll be doing this method this spring-2025 🤗

[Ebsanging]

First time planning bulbs Thankyou so much

[sdale]

Planting mine today and I need y'all!!!! 🎉❤

[traceyj]

This was good. I'm planting tulip bulbs. Thanks.

[masemarod]

Awww i was hoping the video would of ended with them blooming..

[lorethajones]

Great vedio. I learned a lot. Thanks ❤️

[smeshfactory]

Hi, I just planted a bunch of these in a new border I made. I know it's a little late but fingers crossed, wish me luck.

[jacquelinelykins]

Looking forward to planting glads in a pot. I never realized that they would be strong enough in a pot. Will they have to be staked as they grow?

[simasoumi]

What a lovely explanation, and neat planting! How deep should the pot be please. My galdiouli bulbs are in water waiting to sprout but im not sure which pot I should use 🎉🎉
