Gladiolus bulbs will not right themselves when planted upside down, as some bulbs do. They must be dug up and planted with the pointed end towards the top of the soil.

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.
