Gladiolus palustris - Sword lily

Feed Gladiolus palustris : During autumn let’s interrupt fertilizing bulbous plants; as far as recently planted bulbs, let’s remember to enrich the soil with organic fertilizer. Bulbous plants keep nutrition in particular underground organs, this operation is done when the foliage is lush, therefore it’s not important to give them fertilizer when they don’t have leaves.

continental : Let's grow the The Gladiolus palustris where it can enjoy as many hours as possible of direct sunlight.
During the autumnal months the The Gladiolus palustris can’t stand the cold; it can tolerate temperatures a few degrees below zero without any problems.

alpine : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
These plants can bear short freezing without problems; when the minimum temperatures are below -5°C, we suggest covering the The Gladiolus palustris with a non-woven fabric.

mediterranean : Locate the The in a sunny place, where it can receive direct solar rays for at least a few hours a day.
These plants can stand without problems harsh climates, with minimum temperatures a few degrees below zero, therefore they can be grown in the garden.

continental : We recommend watering only when the ground has been dry for days, about every 1-2 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water; let’s also avoid exposing our plants to rain.

alpine : It’s not necessary to water too often; we can act from time to time with 0-1 glasses of water every 2-3 weeks, moistening the ground.

mediterranean : Water from time to time using 2-3 glasses of water, letting the soil dry for 0-1 weeks before watering again; it’s best to leave the soil dry for a longer time lapse, rather than wetting more than needed.

Adversity Gladiolus palustris : When the climate is still not too harsh we should apply a wide range fungal treatment, vaporizing the fungicide even on the soil on the feet of the plants. Let’s remember to collect and destroy the leaves of the plants affected by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease.
