Garden and Housing

Freesias are one of the first flowers of spring. Bulbous plants are native to southern Africa.

They are possessed of a delicate and intense, which endures even when cut. Another feature that benefits us is that it can grow as easily on the ground and in pots.

Corms, which are the name of the freesia bulbs must be planted in a place where a lot of sun exposure received. If you chose to plant them in pots, when the plant begins to flower it should be moved to a partially shaded place.

What if we take care of the point temperatures? These plants can be planted in April or May, if in a place outside but protected from frost. Otherwise you should do so in late winter.

Planting corms is buried at a depth that is twice his height and should be covered with a layer of soil 2 to 3 cm.

If you want a plant next to the other, should be aware that their separation to be about 7 cm. so the roots can spread and well and get new bulbs.

The soil or the pot should have good soil drainage and well paid, since they require much organic matter.

Irrigation of the freesia is moderate. In a time of budding and flowering every 2 or 3 days, then more space and if the foliage is dry, ideally stop.
