I have dug up my Gladioli for wintering, each one has approx' 15 plus minicorms thereon, what and how should I use these minicorms. What fungicide should I use to overwinter the parent corms. I have a number of lidded polystyrene boxes, will they be alright to store corms in.

Probably best not to use a lidded plastic lidded box just in case there is moisture . It might encourage mould

I would leave the cormlets around the parent bulb unless you want to grow them on . if you do repot in 3/5s in a small pot. I usually let the corms dry for a day or two then lightly brush the soil off. I put them in a box [fat balls came in them] of dry sawdust and leave them in the frost free shed.
if they have much foliage then cut that off and stand upside down for any sap to drain out.
