How to grow freesia on the balcony, what should you pay attention to

1. Light supplement

Freesia likes sufficient light exposure. When caring for freesia, if you are keeping it at home, you can move it to the balcony for maintenance and expose it to sufficient light stimulation to maintain its growth needs, especially during the flower bud differentiation period, it can be given more than 8 hours of sunlight. But please be careful, the light in summer is too strong, so you need to block it. You can build curtains to block the strong light and only let in soft light.

2. Water supply

It prefers a humid growing environment. It needs to be watered alternately with dry and wet conditions during the growing period. Generally, it should be watered once a week. When it grows very rapidly, the watering frequency can be appropriately increased. After flowering, watering should be reduced to prevent water accumulation and root rot.

3. Apply nutrients

Growth cannot be separated from the application of nutrients. Adding decomposed organic fertilizer when potting can improve the fertility of the soil. During the growth period, top dressing is also needed regularly, and the fertilizer should be lighter.

4. Soil Preparation

Suitable soil is the basis for growth. It can provide loose, well-drained, organic-rich soil, in which the plant grows better. Repot every 1-2 years to provide new nutrients to maintain growth.
