Starting a gladiolus farm may seem overwhelming but it doesn’t
have to be. As long as you know what to do and you have the location,
it’s quite easy to make a gladiolus farm to make money.
You don’t have to be an expert about these perennials. A bit of knowledge and hard work can make your farm a reality.
What is a Gladiolus?
A gladiolus is a striking flower that
can be grown in perennial gardens. In fact, it is one of the well-known
flowering bulbs. It grows from corms wherein clusters of dark green
stiff fronds emerge. From mid to late summer, you will be able to see
the blooms. There are times when some farm
owners grow lilies, peonies, and dahlias together with the gladiolus.
Since the flowering plan produce spikes, it is also called little
‘swords’.
Choosing the Location of your Gladiolus Farm Biz
You need to
choose the ideal location for the farm. The place should have well
drained soil. In most cases, the flowering plants can grow in moist and
in full sun areas. Still, it would be best to have a balance between
these two. If you want to have blooms all throughout the summer, you can
do space planting
every week which can be 1-10 days apart. If you have a large space, you
can plant the gladiolus in doubles, in groups, or in staggered rows.
It’s even great to grow the gladiolus along the borders of the farm.
With the spikes of these flowering plants, strangers and other animals
can be held at bay. When you are planting the gladiolus, you can dig out
trenches and then plant the corms. Whether you’re planting in groups or
in rows, 2-3 inches space should be given to each of the flowering
plant. The rows need to be 20-36” apart. Keep in mind that as the farmer
(supposing you’re the only one caring for the farm), you will need to
watch over your plants. During the gladiolus’ growing season, you should
provide ample water. The ground should be soaked thoroughly. When the
area of the gladiolus is heated, don’t water the flowers. You can use
organic fertilizer when the plants are already 6-8” tall. By this time,
the spikes have already appeared. The gladiolus is self supporting
although you can also stake them. For good support, you can hill up the
soil on the sides of the flowering plant.
Now that you know how to
plant the gladiolus, you will now consider the supplies and where you
can get them. Make sure that you have all the required garden tools so
that when it’s time to sell the flowers, you can easily harvest them.
It’s also a good idea to hire extra help especially if your gladiolus
farm is large. Maintain your farm properly and you can expect more money
to come in.
