When to plant freesia? Introduction to the best planting time

1. Is timing important

Many growers think that when to plant does not matter and will not have much effect. In fact, this is incorrect. If the planting time is too early, it is prone to the problem of leggy growth.

2. The specific time

For different regions, the planting time should also differ. If it is a more southern place, then it can be planted in October, that is, around National Day. However, if it is a place further north, then it can be planted a bit earlier, around September. However, this is not fixed either, because the climate differs every year.

3. How long until it sprouts

Its sprouting time is related to the quality of the bulb and the depth at which it is planted. If the planting depth is relatively shallow, then its sprouting speed may be a bit faster. However, it must not be too shallow, otherwise its roots will not take hold firmly. Then there is the bulb: if it is larger, the speed at which it sprouts may be faster.

4. Care after planting

(1) Temperature: This is an important aspect. It itself prefers a cool climate. Therefore, maintaining a low temperature with humidity can promote the differentiation of its flower buds and can also keep its shape compact. However, the temperature must not be too low either; it is best to keep it above five or six degrees.

(2) Water: This plant itself does not like too much water. Therefore, when watering, there is a principle, which is "water thoroughly only after the soil has dried out

", which everyone has probably heard of. Otherwise, too much water can easily cause it to rot.

(3) Light: This plant likes ample light. Letting it sunbathe often is beneficial to its growth.

(4) Fertilizer: Here we mainly talk about base fertilizer. When planting it, it is best to add some to the soil.
