In areas that experience freezing temperatures, gladiola bulbs should be lifted and stored in a frost free area for winter. Before the first frost, lift the corms and cut off the tops close to the corm. Spread the corms in a cool, shady place to dry. If drying indoors, or in an area with poor air circulation, consider running a fan. Poor air circulation encourages rot and mildew. After the corms have dried, they should be dusted and stored in a dark place, in dry wood shavings or peat moss. Check the bulbs periodically for signs of softening or rotting; discard any bulbs that exhibit these signs.1
Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately.gladiolus
