If you have flower food handy, add it to your water. This lengthens the life of the gladiola. Also, cut the tip about 2-3 inches from the top to encourage the buds to open up.
Do cut gladiolas need flower food like roses and carnations or just water?
I look %26amp; care for my flowers %26amp; plants just like I do my kids. All livings organs need food and water to survive. Even though your gladiolas are cut they do need food. In my opinion the blooms are healthier,fuller, and stroonger. When I cut my roses back and feed them. Their blooms are fuller. The fragrance of my roses over come your sense of smell when you pull into my driveway. I love it.
Reply:Just water. Flower food from the florist is like an asprin, it slows down the process of dying flowers.
