Growing Requirements
Pests
Freesia is perfect for any space, outdoors or indoors. However, like any plant, problems can arise. Common problems include pests such as aphids and slugs, but fortunately, these are easy to control with preventive care. Watch out for these pests with regular check-ups and remove them manually by hand or with strong water pressure. In addition to this, diseases like Bacterial soft rot, Fusarium wilt, and Iris leaf spot can affect your freesia plants if they are left in wet soil for too long. Good drainage and direct sunlight is recommended to avoid these.
soil
Freesias are versatile and can be grown in pots, indoors, outdoors, or in soil. Freesias are not cold-hardy and can only be planted outdoors in spring or early summer. A well-drained soil or potting mix is important, as freesia rots easily in heavy or moist soils. For pots, use a soil-based potting medium mixed with a coarse crushed stone of about 1/4 to 1/3 of its volume.
spot
Freesia grows best in a warm, sheltered environment with plenty of sun. Indoors, place freesia pots in a well-lit area on a windowsill or balcony. However, the conditions should not be too hot. Up to 15°C is best for freesias, as in warmer conditions they grow spindle-shaped and the buds quickly disappear. It can be grown outdoors in pots or in the ground if the soil is well-drained. Raised beds are ideal for growing freesia, as the soil is usually well-drained and its delicate, exotic appearance and aroma are more readily identifiable than when grown near the ground.
temperature
The ideal temperature for growing freesia bulbs is 4-13°C at night and 10-21°C during the day.
watering
Water the freesia regularly as soon as it grows to keep the compost moist. However, be careful not to overwater. Start feeding the freesia when the flower buds begin to form. Feed with a high potash liquid fertilizer every 10-14 days.
how to harvest
Freesia can be forced to flower indoors. Plant the bulbs in a container with well-drained potting soil in October or November. Water the container well and place it on a bright, sunny windowsill. Freesia should be expected to flower 4 months or more after planting.
Freesia pruning should be done early in the morning before the warm weather causes the petals to dry. Soak the cut stems in water and cut them diagonally. Place immediately in a vase of water. Change the water daily or use a flower preservative.
