What's this on my Gladioli bulbs?

[SnorkMaiden81]

Just that really, I've started getting them ready to over-winter today and all of them have these little white protrusions on the bulbs. Should I pick them off?

Little bulblets growing? I'm desperate to lift mine they are so saggy now. Didn't plant them deep enough to begin with

I love the word 'bulblets' 😂

Are you in the north?
Mine are planted far too shallowly and I never lift them and they flower gloriously every year for me...

Teeth!!!!!

Live action Little shop of horrors

Don't say teeth!!! 😳
Yes I am oop north

Little ‘daughter’ bulbs 🙂

The proper name for them is cormlet (because a glad is a corm not a bulb). Leave them for now and in spring, when you are ready to replant, detach the cormlets and plant them in a pot, couple of inches apart. Feed and water all summer and leave in the pot (dry) over the winter. The following spring inspect them and plant the strong ones in the garden. They may not all flower the first year.

Deffo 'cormlets'
Just lifted mine and put them in a better place, deeper. They look a little shocked
