How to care for freesia after it blooms

1. Pruning and maintenance

After the freesia has finished blooming, the withered flowers should be cut off, and the flower branches should be cut off together. After pruning, water less, otherwise the branches and leaves will easily grow too long. You should also apply less fertilizer and apply fertilizer with high phosphorus and potassium content to ensure the growth of the bulbs. In addition, it should be exposed to diffuse light every day and not direct strong light.

2. Pilling Storage

1. After a period of maintenance, the plant will enter a dormant state and its above-ground part will dry up. At this time, the bulb should be removed from the soil. Be careful when pilling the bulbs so as not to damage the bulbs.

2. After taking out the bulbs, they cannot be stored immediately. They should be placed in a cool place first. After they are dry, they can be wrapped in newspapers. They need to be stored in a dry place.

3. Planting again

When autumn comes, you can take out the stored bulbs and plant them, but you have to choose the right time. In the north, it can be done in September, and in the south, it can wait until October to plant.
