Abstract

Gladiolus is a commercial cut flower whose demand is 6000-8000 spikes/day and increasing day by day because of its majestic spikes. Long vase life is one of the important attributes of cut flowers but due to lack of proper aftermath effects and management flower does not remain consumable for long. This review focuses on different approaches to increase the vase life of the gladiolus cut flower. Cultivation practices, nutrients applied and maturity judgment during cultivation were found as responsible factors to determine the vase life. However, vase solutions containing different concentrations of 8-HQC, salicylic acid, Humic acid, silver nanoparticles, and sucrose (energy source) influence the vase life considerably. The number of Gamma rays and light also determines the vase life of gladiolus cut spikes by diminishing chromosomal aberration was seen higher responsible for improving flower opening and vase life. Gladiolus is extremely sensitive to Fluoride, so it is better not to use water from contaminated sources during the preparation of the preservative solution.
