Care Guide for Freesia

Every week
Water
Water: Freesia thrives in well-drained soil and exhibits moderate drought tolerance. Native to South Africa, it prefers consistent moisture and benefits from weekly watering. This herbaceous perennial requires increased humidity during its growing season for vibrant flowering.
Propagation: The primary propagation method for freesia involves corm division after flowering. Key requirements include a well-draining mix, consistent moisture, and bright, indirect light at 10-15°C (50-60°F). Allow foliage to die back, then separate and replant corms 5 cm (2 inches) deep for spring growth.
