Water: Freesias 'White' needs moderate watering, approximately once a week, when the soil is slightly dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure proper soil drainage to prevent waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Fertilize: Fertilize the soil during the initial tilling by incorporating organic fertilizer. Once freesias 'White' bulbs sprout, use a general-purpose liquid flower fertilizer monthly, increasing to every two weeks post-blooming for optimal growth.

Pruning: Freesias 'White' thrives with early spring pruning, focusing on dead foliage to promote growth and blooms. Avoid cutting live stems, as it hinders flowering. Post-bloom pruning maintains shape and reduces disease. Regular, clean, sharp pruning tools are essential for reducing plant stress and ensuring precise cuts.

Propagation: Freesias 'White' propagates easily as bulbs multiply naturally when healthy. Extra bulbs can be removed and stored annually between growing seasons or left in the flower bed until the following year.
