This "flower" is extremely fragrant. If you have a pot of "it" at home, the whole house will be filled with fragrance!

environment

Freesia likes relatively cool places. Although it likes coolness, it is not a cold-resistant plant. When the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius, freesia will go into a dormant period and stop growing. When the temperature is lower, freesia is likely to suffer frost damage and freeze to death. Also, don’t let the temperature be too high in the summer, as high temperatures will affect the growth of freesia and cause unnecessary burns.

soil

When planting freesia, you need to choose fertile soil, preferably soil with humus. This kind of soil is not only nutritious but also has very good air permeability. Freesia likes soil with good air permeability. It is best to add some sandy soil to the soil to help the soil breathe better. Before planting plants, the soil must undergo certain sterilization and disinfection steps to prevent the bacteria in the soil from causing root rot in the plants. It is best to have a combination of humus soil, garden soil and sandy soil.

Moisture

Freesia does not like water very much. Too much water will cause root rot. Therefore, for freesia, if you want it to grow well, first of all, you cannot have too much water. Basically, just make sure the soil is in an environment that is neither dry nor wet. Except in winter, you can water the freesia thoroughly once a week, and in winter you can just reduce the amount of water.

fertilizer

When fertilizing freesia, the best choice is liquid fertilizer. This makes it easier for the freesia to absorb it and will not cause root burn. Since freesia has relatively high requirements for soil and fertilizer, Huahua recommends that you do not use homemade fertilizers. It is better to use professional fertilizers to grow freesia.
