How to effectively propagate gladiolus corms in my garden?
As a retired botanist, I've dabbled in various propagation techniques, but I’m particularly interested in propagating gladiolus corms. My garden has a mix of indigenous flowers and a few edible plants, and I want to incorporate more gladiolus for their aesthetic appeal. I've tried planting corms directly in the ground, but I’m curious about the best methods for ensuring successful propagation. Should I be dividing the corms, and if so, how can I determine the best time and technique for doing this? I’d appreciate any detailed tips on this process!
