Growing Freesias in the Tropics 🌿🌞
Freesias thrive in cool to temperate climates, but they can be grown in tropical regions with these adjustments:
- Artificial Chilling: Store bulbs in the fridge (4-6 weeks) before planting.
- Shaded Placement: Choose semi-shade to prevent excessive heat exposure.
- Use Pots for Control: Grow in containers to manage temperature and drainage.
- Moisture Control: Keep soil moist but not soggy and apply mulch to retain moisture.
- Cool-Season Planting: Best planted in the coolest months (late autumn to early winter).
