What to do with freesia in summer

Hibernation

Dig out the bulbs, wrap them in a thick layer of newspaper, and store them in a drawer. (Don't close the drawer tightly, leave a small opening to ensure ventilation.)

After digging out the bulbs, place them in a burlap bag and hang them in a cool and ventilated place.

The simplest and lazy method does not require digging up the bulbs. Just leave the flower pots in the original environment over the summer. Do not take any measures and stop watering and fertilizing.

Replanting in Fall

Replanting is recommended, even if the plant was kept in the original pot during the summer, for three reasons:

  1. The bulbs of freesia will naturally reproduce sub-bulbs. They can be dug out in autumn and divided into plants and pots, and the planting distance can be readjusted to ensure a beautiful plant shape.
  2. When there are many underground bulbs, the plant shape above ground will be messy, affecting the appearance.
  3. As the planting time increases, some bulbs will degenerate. You can select high-quality bulbs when replanting.

Summer precautions

The original pot must not be exposed to water during the summer. Just leave it in the original environment and wait for the arrival of autumn.

It is recommended to dig out and store the bulbs after all the plants have withered and keep the soil dry. After digging out, place the bulbs in a cool place to dry and then store them, ensuring that the bulbs are dry to prevent them from rotting during storage.

When storing bulbs, there is a possibility that the bulbs will germinate prematurely. If the buds are not big, just bury them in the soil and plant them; if the flower buds are long, just break them off and plant them. Strengthen water and fertilizer management after planting.
