    3. Biasanya kalau ia lentok sbb dijangkiti kulat atau virus. Letak gambar tu dlm blog nadia, nanti saya tengok apa masalahnya.

    1. Mmg byk, tu berapa tahun punya collection, . Drp satu corms boleh dapat byk cormels, tanam cormels ni, lepas 2 tahun ia jadi corms yg matang, makin lama makin byk.

  3. Staggered planting...that's a good idea. I was thinking of doing that with some of the salad greens I planted so I could harvest them for a longer period.

    1. Yes, staggered planting is a way to go if you want to have it for a long time,

  4. I'll do the same thing this spring :) I also have lots of cormels. I'm always willing to exchange some gladiolus cormels if you're interested :)

  5. yes, i'm interested but we'll have to wait until next year because i do not label the cormels, all mixed together. This time i'll label it then we can exchange what we do not have.

    1. It works for me :) It'll be fun to exchange gladioli between Malaysia and Poland :) I wonder if the varieties vary much.
      My gladioli will be flowering in July/August, so I'll post the photos of varieties I have.
      Last year my gladioli had really a lot of cormels, I was shocked to see this many!

    2. I bought my gladiolus corms from Holland. My goof friend post it from there. Indonesia produce their own variety of corms which will be different from Europe, I'm still trying to get corms from Indonesia.
