How food transported to different parts of plant?
When the leaves finish with photosynthesis (the process of making food for the plant), they use phloem tubes, which are tubes carrying sugar and other minerals down from the leaves to the roots, the roots will save up the sugar (plant food) under the ground. Some plants store the bulbs in bulbs (e.g. onions), some will turn it into starch (e.g. potatoes), etc...
How long after planting gladiolus bulbs do the plants sprout North Carolina I planted 50 bulbs a week ago and so far no action on the surface of the soil?
Depends on the temperature and how deep they were planted and if they got enough moisture. The ones I planted took 14-21 days to pop up above the ground. I planted them 3-4 inches deep. DO NOT weed the area during this time because the baby glads look like stray grass weeds. Be sure to plant them with the proper side up. What looks like root can be a sprout and some people plant them upside down. You can try placing the bulbs in a tray of shallow water and let them sprout new green growth and then plant them in the ground, green growth upwards.
What does phloem tissue do?
Phloem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials down from the top of the plant to the bottom. Xylem tissue is the tissue in plant stems that carry materials up from the bottom of the plant to the top. An easy way to remember this is: phloem=LOWem. Xylem=HIGHlem.
What to plant in heavily rooted soil?
If there is enough space to dig in between the roots, you could plant bulbs for lots of spring blooming flowers. If not, consider a raised bed for the new planting.. make sure to line the bottom of it so that the existing plant roots (which are preventing you from planting directly into the ground) dont grow up into your raised bed soil as well! Good luck!

A seed is a plant embryo produced by a plant as a product of sexual reproduction. The seed contains the embryo and food to sustain the new plant until it can produce food from sunlight for itself. A bulb is a mature plant structure made up of modified leaves that have swollen at their base in order to store food for the plant while it undergoes a period of dormancy (e.g. an onion).

Tulips planted in appropriate conditions tend to multiply and divide, and can be dug up and separated at will. This can be done annually. Lily bulbs also multiply, and it is recommended that a gardener pro-actively dig up lily bulbs every two or three years, and plant the expanded inventory of bulbs in a different location.
