Gladiolas in the vase - that's how they last for a very long time
Gladioli are not only an impressive garden decoration, as well as vase flowers, they are very popular not only because of their importance. Through their long stems, they can be arranged in large vessels extremely attractive and impress with their colorful flowers. But how should the beauties be cared for so that they stay fresh in the vase for as long as possible?
Cut gladiolus flowers
Gladiolas are among those flowers that should not be cut fully flowered. Also, do not separate the stems too deep, as this plant residue nourishes the root and ensures that it can store enough nutrients for the new growing season.
-And off to the vase
After cutting, place the flowers in the vase as quickly as possible so that the plant's pathways are not closed by reaction with air. Always use fresh, room-warm tap water. Before arranging the flowers in the vase, you should remove the foliage from the lower third of the stalk. Maintain the gladioli as follows:
Do not cut all flowers for the vase
Since the flower, like all other parts of the plant, ensures that the gladiolus in the onion store important nutrients for the next gardening season, you should not cut all the flowering shoots of the set gladioli. Even if the onion looks unscathed after the cut, it could be that it wets only weakly next year and does not plant any flowers.
Tips
Often it is advised to cut flower stems diagonally to increase the receiving area for water. Avoid it with gladioli, as this measure also causes the gladioli to wither more quickly.
