The objective of the study was to examine the effect of differential supplies of potassium and calcium to the plant nutrients, spike length, stem length, the number of florets per spike, stem diameter and vase life of gladiolus. The applied levels of fertilizers were 12-24 g m^-2 for K2O and 6-12 g m^-2 CaO.
