Expert Tips for Growing Freesias in Malta:
Sunshine is Essential: Freesias love the sun. Plant them in a spot that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight to ensure strong stems and prolific flowering.
Planting Depth & Spacing: Plant the bulbs (corms) about 5cm deep and 5-8cm apart with the “pointed” end facing upwards.
Well-Draining Soil: They do not like “wet feet.” In Malta, ensure your pots have plenty of drainage holes and use a gritty, free-draining compost mix.
Support for Stems: As the plants grow, the slender stems may need light support (like small twigs or a low decorative wire) to keep the flower heads upright, especially in windy coastal areas.
Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, but allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent the corms from rotting.
