When and how to plant freesia

Freesia planting time

If freesia is planted by seedling cuttings, it is generally better to do so in early autumn. If it is planted by sowing, it can be done in May. This planting time can allow the freesia seeds to germinate smoothly and the survival rate is relatively high.

Freesia planting methods and key points

1. Soil preparation: The growth of freesia has very high requirements for the soil. It is best to use a mixture of peat soil and sand. Disinfect the soil before planting, and then apply a thin layer of organic fertilizer, and the breeding soil is ready.

2. Planting

Before sowing freesia, you need to process the seeds first, clean the selected seeds, put them in the soil, the depth should be about 1 cm from the ground, cover them with a thin layer of soil, water them thoroughly, and place them in an environment with scattered light and proper ventilation.

Things to note when planting freesia

When growing freesia, special attention should be paid to the method of fertilization in the later stage. The added fertilizer can be diluted with pure water and then watered. This will help the freesia absorb nutrients and accelerate its growth. However, after flowering, fertilization and watering cannot be carried out at the same time.
