Phenolic said:Thanks, William! I'll post an update on how it goes. I think buying new bulbs is wasteful, even if freesias are relatively inexpensive.
Out of curiosity how are the summers like where you live? Are temperatures consistently above 25 ºC/77 ºF for at least 2 to 4 weeks? Do your freesias lose their foliage in summer or in fall?
I'm playing around with room-temperature storage since the foliage on my freesias stayed green through three weeks of 30 ºC/86 ºF daytime temperatures, and only just started dying late into the summer. It might have something to do with soil moisture, I think. I kept them well-watered the entire time.
