About this item

  • Where to Plant

    Freesias do best in a warm, sheltered environment with plenty of sun. Indoors, place pots of freesias in a well-lit spot on a windowsill, in a porch, or conservatory. However, conditions must not be too warm: a maximum of 15°C is the optimum for freesias, as warmer conditions result in spindly growth and flowers that quickly fade.
    Outdoors, grow in pots, or plant in the ground so long as the soil is well drained. Raised beds are ideal for growing freesias as the soil usually drains well and their delicate, exotic appearance and scent can be more easily appreciated than if growing at ground level.

  • When to Plant

    Planting time depends on whether you're growing freesias for indoor or outdoor flowering. For indoor growing, plant freesia bulbs in autumn, and they'll flower in late winter. To grow freesias in indoor pots for early summer flowering, plant them from January to March under cover. To grow freesias outdoors, plant from April to June.

    • How to Plant

      Freesias are versatile and can be grown in pots indoors or outdoors, or in the ground. Freesias aren’t frost-hardy so can only be planted outdoors in spring or early summer.
      Well-drained soil or potting compost is essential as freesias are likely to rot in heavy or waterlogged soil. In pots, use a soil-based potting compost mixed with around a quarter to a third by volume of coarse grit.
      There's no need to soak freesia bulbs before planting. Plant the long, slender freesia bulbs pointy-end up, at a depth of 3-5cm, and spaced 5cm apart.
      Once planted, water well and then stand the pot in a cool, shaded, frost free place â€?a temperature of around 5°C is ideal. After 3-4 weeks when shoots appear, move into a warmer and sunny position.

    • How to Grow

      For indoor growing, plant freesia bulbs (corms) in autumn to bloom in late winter. To grow freesias in indoor pots for early summer flowering, plant from January to March under cover. To grow outdoors, plant from April to June.
      Plant freesia corms in well-drained soil or potting compost pointy-end up, at a depth of 3-5cm, and spaced 5cm apart. Water well and then stand the pot in a cool, shaded, frost free place â€?a temperature of around 5°C is ideal. After 3-4 weeks when shoots appear, move into a warmer and sunny position

    • How to care for freesias

      Water freesias regularly once growth appears, aiming to keep the compost moist, but take care not to over-water. Start feeding freesias when the flower buds start to form. Use a liquid fertilizer high in potash and apply every 10-14 days.
      Supporting freesia flowers in some way is necessary to stop the stems flopping over, regardless of whether they’re growing in pots or in the ground. Either buy ready-made supports or use twiggy sticks pushed into the soil.
      Freesia bulbs are not frost hardy so if you're growing them outside you'll need to dig them up, dry them and store them to replant the following year. When flowering has finished, simply cut off the faded flower stems and reduce watering gradually as the leaves turn yellow and die. Once the leaves have died back completely, lift the corms from the soil. Once lifted, put them in a warm place for several months to ripen the corms, mimicking the conditions of a South African summer. Then, store in a paper bag in a cool frost-free place to plant the following year. The effects of the heat treatment will have worn off so the saved corms can only be planted in spring..

    • How to propagate freesias

      Freesias can be grown from seed, sown into potting compost with added grit or perlite, in autumn or winter. Seed-raised plants can take a couple of years to become large enough to bloom.
      Small offsets or tiny corms can be detached from the original corms when lifting in autumn. These can be planted individually in small pots in spring, to grow on into larger corms. Again flowering can take a year or more.

    • Pests and diseases

      Freesia leaves go yellow and the corms are likely to rot if the soil or compost become waterlogged. Pot-grown freesias should be checked after watering to ensure they’re not sitting in water.
      Under cover, pests such as red spider mite and aphids may appear. Inspect the undersides of leaves regularly for signs of mottling caused by the tiny red spider mite, or for clusters of aphids. Improving humidity can deter red spider might, while a jet of water, soap spray or biological control can be used to combat aphids and other pests.

    Flower Bulb Facts of Life

    Bulbs: Beauty In a Bottle:

    Bulbs are a natural product. And, as such, follow a natural cycle of growth and rebirth. Enjoying their fabulous flowers means planting ahead in one season then results the next. Bulbs are among the easiest flowers to grow, not only are they affordable, but bulbs offer the most stunning colors available. Even the most novice gardener can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring garden with bulbs.

    What's a Bulb?

    A flower bulb is really a self-contained flower factory. Within this marvelous little package is nearly everything the flower needs to come to life! Split a bulb open, for instance, and you'll see its baby flower bud, leaves, roots, stem and food supply. All bulbs need from you is to be placed in the ground at the appropriate season of year, given a liberal drink of water then left to work their magic.

    Variety:

    Flower bulbs come in seemingly limitless varieties which makes them perfectly suitable for any garden design you can dream up.

    Is It a bulb ?

    The Difference Between Bulbs, Corms, Tubers, Roots,Today, people commonly us the term 'bulb' to refer to any plant that stores its own food underground. But, in truth, many popular 'bulbs' are not true bulbs at all. These include corms, tubers and roots and, while they all produce beautiful flowers, technically the plants are different

    When To Plant

    In fall, after soil temperatures are below 50ºF/10ºC. These bulbs bloom the following spring and require the cold winter temperatures for development. But let's say winter arrives and your bulbs are still in their bag. Not to worry! Bulbs are pre-programmed to grow so even if you have to plant through snow, plant your bulbs!

    How To Plant

    Most bulbs thrive in either full or partial sun and in almost any location with good drainage. Avoid planting at the base of hills or under drainage pipes where water collects and will rot the bulbs.

    • Dig a hole
    • Drop in the bulb
    • Water thoroughly

    Tips For success

    • A larger grouping of flower bulbs are far more fab than just a few planted here and there. Think clumps of color.
    • Buy the largest bulbs you can find.
    • Note the flowering times. Not all bulbs will bloom at the same time. A little planning will greatly increase the number of months you will enjoy bulb flowers.

    Passionate About bulbs

    Generally speaking, the best predictor for gardening success is bulb size. Almost always, the larger the initial bulb size planted, the larger and stronger the plants will be, producing more flowers. The first year end result will be noticeable to anyone.The best predictor for gardening success is bulb size.

    Good milk frother, drink mixer
    Color: Silver
    I use this every day to mix my morning protein drink. Love that it's rechargeable. And it doesn't take long to recharge. Be advised that it has 3 speeds, so when you think you're turning it off, it's actually going faster and can splatter your drink. I've learned to mix on 2, then quickly push button to 3 and then off. The speeds aren't that much different, imo, so could have one speed "on', and then 'off'.

    Do not buy
    Color: Silver
    The worst frother i've ever used. You can't even turn it off without having to go through all the different modes, meaning you will get absolutely splashed and have to clean all the little droplets of whatever you were frothing. The power is weak. The battery did last a long time, I'll give them that. 3 months ON THE DAY the frother stopped working. A very loud noise and decreased power made it unusable. I sent them an email with NO response.

    Mixes drinks well and holds a charge
    Color: Silver
    I bought this frother to replace a weaker frother I had been using for months. I make iced lattes with instant espresso powder, water, and milk, and this frother does a great job at mixing the powder into the water/milk. It also leaves a nice 1" or so of milk froth on the top. I love that it can be charged with a USB-C cable and doesn't require batteries like many frothers do. It's very powerful for the size.

    Putting my $.02 into the mix
    Size: Basic Frother, Color: Black
    My old, lame hand mixer finally gave up the ghost. I ordered one of those “stick blenders” but it was waaaay too powerful for my purposes. (I don’t need it to dice/chop/pulverize fruits or veggies - if you need that, this mixer isn’t for you.) I needed something in between. I kept coming back to the “milk frothers,” but I had my doubts that one of those could mix up my morning shake. I tried a frother some years ago, and it wasn’t designed for blending ingredients, just for frothing liquids. Still, I had an idea (like some of you might) that what I needed was not a true stick mixer, nor a true milk frother. Something in between. I needed a “frother on steroids.” I settled on this one-the YUSWKO YW-218. It had the regular frothing head, but also two other heads. One looks like a mini bread hook; the other like a mini whisk. I plugged it into charge and it did take the stated time to come to a full charge. (Like any kid with a new toy, I tried turning it on before charging, but the low state of charge resulted in the high-medium-low settings not behaving correctly.) For my first few forays into blending, I tried the mini bread hook thingee. It worked OK, but not as well nor as quickly as I wanted. I then shifted to the mini whisk thingee. I didn’t really prepare well. I combined my milk-protein powder-carnation breakfast-malt flavoring-imitation (yeah, I know, it probably causes cancer, but only in California) vanilla flavoring concoction into my normal medium-sized concession cup (you know, the smaller ones you get at high school basketball games), lowered the whisk head into the goop, and turned it to “low.” In a second, I was wearing my shake. But the power capacity was more than enough to do what I was needing. Anyway, since that first attempt with the whisk head, I’ve gotten the routine down. And it is EXACTLY what I needed. (I’ll try to attach a video to show you.). Clean up is simple. You can do it with soapy water and a brush or rag, but I just run the thing in clear water and ensure I get all the sticky stuff off. I tried the soapy water, but I got a LOT of suds. A few pointers. First, charge it up all the way before using it. I haven’t had to recharge for two weeks now. You’ll use a regular, small phone-charging brick. (Two words of CAUTION. I found that the included, cheap charging cord did not work. It got really hot, like there was an electrical short in it. So I found one of my own. Also, DO NOT USE the larger charging blocks like the ones from Ap*le. I tried and it was too much.) Second, I assumed that the low speed would be the less aggressive and thus the less “throw-stuff-out-of-the-cup” setting. But that hasn’t proven true for me. I’ve found that the medium setting makes my ingredients behave better (less throw-out and quicker blending). Experiment with different speeds, even though it may not make immediate sense. Third, practice with plain water first (I’ve already told you how I know this). That’ll give you a “feel” for what this frother will do. Fourth, practice with different sized cups. I’ve since changed to the taller concession cups, as they prevent throw-out. Fifth, start practicing with your cups down in a sink. Less mess to clean up and no need to change clothes before you head out to work or school (I’m a teacher). Finally, familiarize yourself with the way the three buttons work. My previous mixer required me to keep the button depressed to blend. If I let up on the button, the unit would stop. Not so with this one. A light press to start, let go, then a light press to stop. Don’t keep mashing the button. Final thoughts: this frother is just what I needed. If your experience sounds like mine, I think this one’ll give you good service.
