Dear Zainab
You can save Galdilous Bulblets but next time these bulblet never flower only increase its size until become true bulb. It will takes 2 to 3 years, able to become flower....

Greetings Asim_Nawaz

I wanted to know all about practical experience with growing Gladiolus. I was wondering if you have any experience with it and if you could help. I have read many websites and procedures of growing but I want to know everything from someone who is already experienced with these. is it better to grow these from seeds or from bulbs?

I have glads and they are successfully blooming for me every year, i used to dig them and keep them indoors during summer, bulblets never survived in this way only way to keep the bulblets living is to keep the bulbs in pots and not disturb them , for me they multiply in this way , now i have a few bulblets an year old and waiting for the blooms probably after couple of years more. Glads are definitely rewarding and loving plants.
