Abstract: An investigation was carried out to standardization of pulsing solutions for buds opening and longer vase-life of Gladiolus grandiflorus L. flower cv. Nova Lux during the year 2014-2015. The flower spikes were harvested in early morning at basal pair opened bud stage from the main experiment field. The maximum 12.00 days vase-life of flower was found with continuous increase in spike length, absorption of vase solution first increase thereafter decreased, continuous florets opening, maximum spike weight and moderate florets drooping could be get, when gladiolus spikes were pulsed in to 20% pulsing solution for 24 hours. Thereafter spikes were put in to conical flask containing vase solution of 5% sucrose and kept at ambient temperature in post graduate laboratory of Department of Horticulture
