How to care for newly bought freesia

How to care for newly bought freesia

1. Change the soil

Freesias need well-drained, sandy soil rich in organic matter to thrive. The soil provided by the merchant may not be fertile enough, so you can change the soil. However, the soil should be changed only after the freesia has adapted to the new environment to avoid damaging the plant and affecting its growth.

2. Watering

After buying freesia, do not water it frequently. Just water it in moderation to keep the soil moist. If you water too much, the roots cannot fully absorb the water, which will easily cause waterlogging and damage the roots. Wait until the plant is growing normally before resuming normal watering.

3. Fertilization

Freesia has a strong demand for fertilizer. After buying it home, you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to promote growth. However, do not apply too much fertilizer to avoid the roots being burned due to inability to absorb nutrients. In the later stage, you can apply some organic fertilizer to supplement nutrients.

4. Temperature

Freesia has poor cold resistance. When you first buy it, it is best to control the temperature between 15 and 20 degrees to help it adapt to the new environment faster. If the temperature is too high, you can ventilate and water more to help the plant cool down.
