Easy Planting Instructions for Freesia

Freesia in Pots

• 1

  Fill the planting pot to within 3/4 inch of the rim with a fast-draining potting soil.

• 2

  Push the freesia corms, pointed end up, 2 inches deep into the soil and cover them with soil. If you are using a 6-inch pot, you can fit 3 to 6 corms, depending upon their size.

• 3

  Water the soil until the excess water runs from the bottom of the pot. Place the pot in a sunny area. The corm will spend the fall producing roots and should sprout in the winter.
