I have all the basic info and planted mine correctly, I think. I put them in the ground pointed end up. I was not sure if that is correct. I just planted, so it is not too late to pull them out and turn them over if they are upside down.
They will still come up if planted upside down; however, they will simply take a little longer. Here's an article that may also help:

Living in south Florida, do we need to dig up the glad bulbs after they bloom for the year, or can we leave them in the ground for the next growing season?
You can actually leaves them in the ground, but if you would like to dig them up and store them, this article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/bgen/storing-bulbs-in-south.htm
My gladiola bulbs (first year I have planted them) grew fabulous greenery. But alas, no flowers. What did I do wrong?
It is either not enough phosphorus or you have thrips. These articles will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/soil-fertilizers/phosphorus-plant-growth.htm

Will Gladiolas continue to produce flowers after its first flowering without replanting?
No, the glads will not rebloom this season. However, they should come back the following year without any problems.
Someone told me that after my glads bloom I am supposed to cut them back. Is this true, and if so, how is this done?
Don't cut those glads! After they bloom, it's the greenery that builds energy in the bulbs for the following year. Of course, if you plan to plant new corms every year, it doesn't matter.
How do I get them to bloom? They are adult plants, very healthy, help! Blueberries are not producing much fruit, two years old. Grapes have not produced fruit, this year is the third year. Healthy bushes, grow well.
Blueberries need 4-7 years to really reach fruiting maturity. Before then, they don't fruit well. They will fruit some, just not as well as they will in the future.
Grapes also need a few years before they can really produce.
But, it may also be a lack of phosphorous or too much nitrogen. Adding some bone meal help with this to balance out the soil nutrients. It may also be an issue with sunlight. They need at least 5 hours of full sun to produce well.
I live in Florida and have planted gladiolas. Do I need to dig up the bulbs in the winter? Also, when they quit blooming, do I trim them back? Thanks.
No, where you live you do not need to dig up the corms.
Do not trim the leaves back until they turn yellow. They need the leaves to help them build energy for the next time they bloom.
