I am extremely sorry for talking very fast in this video, really I am 😞 It's a old video and did many mistakes and now a days I don't talk that fast (I can't say I am doing really great but I am trying my best). Plus, I have also edited the video and added the Subtitles in many different languages. All you need to do is, just click on Setting icon (Engine symbol) and select your preferred language. Everything would get converted into your own preferred language. Thank you for your understanding I wish, there were a way to edit old videos 😞
I love the fact that you talked so fast and gets to the point in less than 10 mintues vs other people took 30 minutes just to explain what to do. LOL. I love your videos. Hope to see more.
Thank you so much. This video is really impressive and helpful. I had no problems in following your instructions. I hv just got some Freesia bulbs. Will plant them right away.
@Whimsy Crafter, Thank you very much for the feedback and I am really glad to know it worked for you, thanks again. Good luck in growing your Freesia bulbs and hope you get lots of blooms :-)
Thank you very much for watching the video and really sorry to know it was hard to follow. Definitely, I would take your advice and already have started working on it. Actually new to Channel and English is not my first language. So, I talked much faster than I usually do thinking people would be bored if I talk in normal speed. In fact, some of my friends said the same. So, definitely I am going to improve it. Thank you very much for your feedback. Have a great day :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thanks nice vid good job well done, I altered the speed in settings to .75 and could understand you perfectly! I'm waiting for my freesias to flower that I planted in March they do take a long time to bloom but will be worth it I hope 🌼
Hi, I have just been given a pot of well established Freesias, and I wanted to learn more about them. Your video was really informative, you are very enthusiastic about your flowers, which comes through in your commentary. I have watched it a couple of times, so I think I am in a better place to pot them on now. Thanks for your help, I have subscribed to your channel. Cheers, Chris
Thanks to you, I planted 20 bulbs today. Hopefully I am not very late. I will follow your steps and let you know if I succeed or otherwise. Thanks for the excellent video. Well done.
Very systematically compiled video. I can see the hard work done here. My only complain is about your very fast narration. Please decrease your speed of speaking. As the beginners already struggle to understand gardening words/terms. At your pace it's impossible for them to understand a thing. 😊
Please accept my apologies for the late reply n thank you so much for your kind words, really appreciated! Old video and that time did few mistakes :-( I hope, my current videos are okay..but I am totally okay to get constructive feedback like this and thank you once again. I have re-worked on this video today and added Subtitles in many different languages..there is no option to modify the audio..or else, I would have done 😊
@Soumya Naik, Thank you so so much though I know I spoke really very fast in this video (which is really bad). I am really thankful to you for watching most of my videos and I hope you are going to love my new videos. Really glad to meet a plant lovers like you :-) Plz feel free to join me via Insta and I would love the see the pics of your plants :-)
@Soumya Naik, It's actually good not to use social media too much..I don't use too much either, created Insta account just 2 months back (only for channel)
Hello sir.... Freesia k blub ko next season ke liye Kese save krna h... Please btaye.... Blub ko gamle me hi rhne du ya fir bahar nikal kr kisi dibbe m rakhu...
Hi...Kaise save kare..Plz aap ak baar yet video dekh liziye - ua-cam.com/video/vsrH4z_xkrs/v-deo.html Video Dahlia ke bare me hai..lakin, aise hi hamlog koi bhi bulbs ko store kar sakte hai. Aur nehi to, aap gamle me bhi rakh sakte hai. Sirf pani bahat kam dino me dijiye. For example, agar aap shade me rakhate ho to, panu sirf ak bar dijiye 20-30 days. Just moisture hona chahiye pani me, jyada gili nehi hona chahiye. Nehito bulbs gaal jayega Summer me. Best of luck and Sir jaruarat nehi hai actually :-) Mr. Gardening Upbeat acha lagega :-)
Great! Very helpful thank you! My freesias grew very tall last year and it was difficult to support them. What could be the reason for this? I've just replanted and I hope to not make the same mistakes
Very good video with clear tips. In the video seed pods are mentioned. That means freesia can be grown from seeds also. Kindly advise. Also does the bulbs give rise to pups after flowering is over for the purpose of multiplying for next year.
Sir can you give me 3-4 matured freesia bulbs as I have been trying to grow it from 2017 every winter but they havnt flower. I usually purchase them from online but still no flower on them. I am from Kolkata and please let me know the price I will surely pay it as I really want to grow it. Also I have successfully grown Daffodils, Narcissus Paperwhite, Hyacinth, Oriental Lily, Crocus etc hence I have full idea about them.
What is the ideal size of pots for growing freesia bulbs? After how many days the seedlings need to be transferred to a bigger pot and what should be the size of the pot?
Very informative video, I really enjoyed watching it and I am planning to grow some freesias when it is suitable in my area. One tip: please talk slower :D
@Aneelinka, thank you very much for your feedback, appreciate it and sorry for taking time to reply :-( I am glad to know you enjoyed the video and definitely I would follow your tip and thanks once again for that. I have started working with my speed already :-) Have a great time :-)
Hi Thanks for the video I got bulbs from seeds and pots , the package insert mentions to keep the bulb tip out of the soil , while you advise to bury it What do you say
Thank you for sharing. Is there a problem if I just leave the bulbs in the pot for next season? And how do I know it's time to start watering again. Thank you
@Miria Amron, You can definitely leave the bulbs in the same pot for next season. Plz keep in a shady area and protect it from rainfall. If you water once in 30-45 days, it would be more than enough. We just need to maintain a very low moisture (but not wet) in the container till next year. Next year, when you see they are sprouting, you can start watering in regular interval. Thank you for watching the video, have a great time :-)
@kathod bhoir, thank you for your question. Freesia blooms in Winter - Early spring season and so I don't recommend you to grow at this time. Instead, you can grow many other lilies that bloom well in Summer season. For example - 1. Tuberose (blooms in Summer and nice fragrant plant) 2. Rain Lily (Zephyranthes) 3. Footbal Lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) 4. Tiger Lily 5. Spider Lily 6. Gladiolus (Blooms in Summer and Winter) 7. Asiatic Lily or Lilium (Blooms in Summer and Winter) I already have a video about Asiatic Lily or Lilium and others on the way. If you want, you can watch it. If you have any questions, please let me know and I would get back asap! Have a great time :-)
Thank you for the advices but please I have a question when is the right time to plant freesia? And what to do after blooming should I keep them underground?
@cristina volter, I am really very sorry for the late reply. I was really busy at growing lots of plants and so was away for few days. In India, the best time to grow Freesia is Oct-Nov (when the nighttime temp is around 15-20°C) and they are not going to do well if temperature goes above 30°C+. I planted my Freesia bulbs today (I know I am late already) and hope I would be able to get the blooms before temperature goes up. After blooming, you can keep them underground if you don't want to use the same space. But if you are a container gardener like me and want to utilize the space & container, then you can dig them up and store for the next season. This is the same thing I did for my Freesias. Plz let me know if you have any question and I would get back to you ASAP. Wishing you and your family a very very happy new year :-)
Hello, I love your videos. I am a beginner with this plant. What is the procedure about watering the plants and I want to know if freesia needs a lot of sun. Thank you so much. I will wait for your answer because I have one that have a few leaves.
@Sylvia Manning, I am extremely sorry for the late reply...normally, I try my best to reply every queries within 24 hours or at least 48 hours. Somehow, I missed your question and so sorry about that. If you can provide them 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, it would be more than enough and I found, whole day of sun is not good anyway. For watering, please let the top soil dry out before watering and then water. Not just Freesia, for all bulbs, it's a good idea to let the top soil dry out before watering. Thank you for watching the video and please let me know if you have any questions and I would get back ASAP :-)
Tianshuang Kang Thank you for your video! I have planted 25 bulbs 10days ago and I just found out that they are covered by mould now. I have peeled their paper and wiped off green-white mould as much as I can. I also found out that there are red spots on the bulbs. I am wondering if they ever gonna bloom this year?
@Tianshuang Kang, You are welcome and thank you very much for watching the video. Freesia takes time to sprout and so need to be bit careful while watering, specially before they sprout. Can you please tell me if you planted them at least 1 inch deep in the soil? While planting, they should be covered completely so that they stay well protected inside soil. Perhaps, you can move your pot to a place where it can get lots of direct sunlight. I really hope you are going to be blessed with lots of blooms in coming days :-) Good luck :-)
I have planted freesia bulbs in sept. Today is dec 25 they have sprouted but the growth is very slow. The leaves are only 3-4 inches long. What shud I do ?pl suggest
Yes..that's correct. Thank you for watching and sorry for the bit late reply. I have also updated the Subtitles in many different languages, saying in case you need them (I did the mistake by recording audio very fast in this video)
@The Grinch, I did that at the end of September and Sept and Oct is the best time to plant them (in India). If you plant them now, you might not get the desired result and they might take time to grow. Plus, monsoon can destroy them as well like you said. Instead, you can save them for next season and grow some other bulbs - 1. Amarlily 2. Gloxinia 3. Football Lily 4. Rajnigandha 5. Spider Lily 6. Nerine 7. Canna Other than 1 & 2, others are bit early to grow as it's still Feb but can be grown. Thank you :-)
Hi I have a question I've planted freesia bulbs in December and only last week it started to grow a little leafs When is the good time to plant them for next year and should I keep them in worm or cold place? And thank you
@cristina volter, Freesias take lots of time to grow as you can see in my video, I got the result after 129 days. If you have planted your bulbs at the Mid-End of Dec, they are most likely to bloom in March - April (but it would highly depend on the temperature). They need minimum 90-100 days to bloom and so the best time to grow them is Sept End - Oct. Once they bloomed, if you like you can keep the bulbs in the same pot (but need to maintain the moisture) or you can store them for the next season (You would need to keep them in cold place, not worm). I already recorded everything and soon I would upload it. By the way, Plz note that I am from India and in winter season, the temperature in my place doesn't come below 50°F (10°C) at night (mostly). So, if you are from much cooler place, then the things are going to be be bit different. Anyway, plz let me know and I would try my best to provide you the best solutions. Thank you :-)
@Sanskriti Jha, NPK - once in 15-20 days and Epsom Salt, applying 2-3 times in complete life cycle is enough..yah, initially it looks difficult but once you start doing it, it would be a habit and that time you don't have to track anything :-) Plus, it's okay if you do bit here and there...:-)
Not exactly..They bloom in Spring (March - May) After that, they stop flowering but plant remains alive though and we can store the bulbs for next season. Thank you!
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you. I have got its bulb as gift. So I was wondering if I can pot them now. So I am going to plant them now and wait patiently till next spring coz these days even springs stays short time.
I sow the bulb as you described . Having patient from almost one month. But there is no sign of germination. I water them when the top soil is dried . I bought the bulbs from seed and pot . Is there any hope should I need to do something
@kathod bhoir, thank you for your question. Honestly saying, I haven't tried growing them in Rainy/Summer season as they bloom in Winter - Early Spring. So, I don't think they would be able to survive the rainy season. I have some other alternatives for you for the rainy season - 1. Asiatic Lily (they are known to bloom in Winter season but they would bloom in Summer if you keep taking care) 2. Gladiolous (same as Asiatic Lily) 3. Tuberose (blooms in Summer and nice fragrant plant) 4. Rain Lily (Zephyranthes) - the name tales it all and perfect for rainy season. Blooms in Summer. 5. Footbal Lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) - Blooms in Summer Please also note that, I am from India and I am suggesting the above plant names referring to the Indian climate. If you have any questions, please let me know and I would be glad to help you. Thank you :-)
@ Eleonor Gornica, extremely sorry for that and I believe, I have fixed the issue. I have started to talk slowly in my new videos. Thank you very much for your feedback, appreciate it. Have a great day :-)
@Sumana Choudhury, Sure, you can grow easily and I am from Guwahati, so climate is almost similar :-) I would appreciate if you don't call me Sir, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you so much for replying. I ordered single freesia bulbs & is thinking of ordering 5 double. So I was worried as some people said they were unable to germinate freesia bulbs in kolkata.
@Sumana Choudhury, Most welcome and good luck in growing :-) They take quite a long time to sprout and please be careful not to water too much before they sprout. Good luck :-)
I like that you posted the length of days, the adding Bonemeal, I wish you would of included everything else in writing. Because I couldn't understand, though your video was also very good. You do speak very loud, I lowered the volume but it's too difficult to understand, and when I higher the volume your voice bothers my ears. Just use your normal tone.
@Vilma T. Gonzalez, Please accept my apologies...It was the 17th video in my Channel out of 250+ videos and initially, I did many mistakes :-( Funny thing is, my wife always said me that I talk very slow and quietly. So, I thought that I need to talk bit differently whenever I am doing a Channel and so this happened. Anyway, I came to know about my mistakes and I have tried my best to fix the issue in all of my new videos. I am sure that if you check one of my recent videos, you would clearly see the difference. But, I also know that I need to improve many things and I am trying my best to do that. Problem is, English is not my first language but this shouldn't be an excuse, I know! Finally, thank you for being so nice and for an amazing feedback! It's hard to get such feedback online, truly appreciate it! I am also quite amazed that you already knew that I was not using my real tone in the video, truly amazing!!! Thank you So much for everything and have a great time ahead :-)
Please accept my apologies..I already specified the reason in the comment section. You can slower the speed by clicking on Setting (Engine like Symbol on bottom of the screen) -> Playback Speed. There if you select 0.5, everything would come in 1/2 of speed I was talking :-) I have also fixed the Subtitles in the video. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thank you for stopping by and sorry once again!
@Arnold Arnold, I am so sorry...it's an old video and did many mistakes initially..mainly editing and recording mistake. In real life, I never ever talk like that way. Actually, in really life I talk much slower than this and calmly. And, while doing the videos, I thought people would mind if I talk slowly. So, this happened. Anyway, I am trying my best to improve everything and I hope new videos are bit better. Thank you for watching even though it was kinda horrible..
@hummingbird, I am really very sorry for talking bit fast. I have fixed this issue somewhat in my new videos and I hope those are bit better, even if not perfect. Thank you :-)
@Ranjeet Yadav, can you let me know how many days ago you planted them? They actually quite a long time to bloom. Time is still there and they would bloom definitely if you continue caring for them. Good luck :-)
You are speaking so fast I can't get the proper understanding of what you are saying. Also whatever you're saying seems to be in one long sentence with no pause. Please speak more slowly.
They do, at least the ones in Shillong do. But I got mine online they bloomed well, stayed safe in the pot inside the house and began to sprout in mid September this year . But sorry to say, the scent is very faint. I'm in Dehradun.
Apologies......used to do this mistake at the very beginning. If you like, you can slow the speed and I have also fixed the Subtitles (though it was very difficult to write for me itself it as I talked very fast..he he. Had to pause many times in between)
Sorry for that (it's an old video)..if you want, you can slow the speed (Hover over the player and click Settings. Click Speed. Select the speed at which you'd like the video to play.) and I have also FIXED the Subtitles, thank you!
Most of the bulbs take time to bloom if they are not matured enough..Anyway, they are best to be grown in ground..where they would bloom every year at the right time, sometime like Amaryllis.
I am extremely sorry for talking very fast in this video, really I am 😞 It's a old video and did many mistakes and now a days I don't talk that fast (I can't say I am doing really great but I am trying my best). Plus, I have also edited the video and added the Subtitles in many different languages. All you need to do is, just click on Setting icon (Engine symbol) and select your preferred language. Everything would get converted into your own preferred language. Thank you for your understanding I wish, there were a way to edit old videos 😞
Thanks for a thorough explanation on freesia growing from bulbs to flowering and the care in-between.
You are most welcome and thank you for your amazing feedback, appreciated!

@@tianshuangkang4556 , thank you once again and please note, they take time to sprout. Hope they bloom soon :-) Have a great time :-)
I'm also facing the same problem
Mine is also having red spots
I have planted freesia bulbs in sept. Today is dec 25 they have sprouted but the growth is very slow. The leaves are only 3-4 inches long. What shud I do ?pl suggest
Can you pls tell me where have you brought this bulbs from and are they double varity or single varity
@tupe xo, Thank you for your question. I bought them online (Amazon) and those were single variety. If any question, plz let me know.
What should be the frequency of fertilizing
Please let me know if I grow these in Bangalore ?
@Abhijith Bindiganavilai, Sure, definitely can be grown. Thank you :-)
Did you put 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt?
Yes..that's correct. Thank you for watching and sorry for the bit late reply. I have also updated the Subtitles in many different languages, saying in case you need them (I did the mistake by recording audio very fast in this video)
At what time of the year did you plant them? I'm in NE India, should I plant them now? I'm worried about the monsoon destroying them
@The Grinch, I did that at the end of September and Sept and Oct is the best time to plant them (in India). If you plant them now, you might not get the desired result and they might take time to grow. Plus, monsoon can destroy them as well like you said. Instead, you can save them for next season and grow some other bulbs - 1. Amarlily 2. Gloxinia 3. Football Lily 4. Rajnigandha 5. Spider Lily 6. Nerine 7. Canna Other than 1 & 2, others are bit early to grow as it's still Feb but can be grown. Thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you! Guess I'll have to put off planting freesias for now then
Hi I have a question
I've planted freesia bulbs in December and only last week it started to grow a little leafs
When is the good time to plant them for next year and should I keep them in worm or cold place?
And thank you
@cristina volter, Freesias take lots of time to grow as you can see in my video, I got the result after 129 days. If you have planted your bulbs at the Mid-End of Dec, they are most likely to bloom in March - April (but it would highly depend on the temperature). They need minimum 90-100 days to bloom and so the best time to grow them is Sept End - Oct. Once they bloomed, if you like you can keep the bulbs in the same pot (but need to maintain the moisture) or you can store them for the next season (You would need to keep them in cold place, not worm). I already recorded everything and soon I would upload it.
By the way, Plz note that I am from India and in winter season, the temperature in my place doesn't come below 50°F (10°C) at night (mostly). So, if you are from much cooler place, then the things are going to be be bit different. Anyway, plz let me know and I would try my best to provide you the best solutions. Thank you :-)
what is the temperature requirement
can we use npk epsom salt to other bulbs too
@Sanskriti Jha, Sure, we can :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanks@ what intervals ? there is si much to apply difficult to keep track...do u maintain a chart ?
@Sanskriti Jha, NPK - once in 15-20 days and Epsom Salt, applying 2-3 times in complete life cycle is enough..yah, initially it looks difficult but once you start doing it, it would be a habit and that time you don't have to track anything :-) Plus, it's okay if you do bit here and there...:-)
@@GardeningUpbeat thanks
Can I grow fressia in may month?
Summer is not the right time..for Summer, there are many Lillie. For example, plz check out this video - ua-cam.com/video/XR6ejftAC7M/v-deo.html
Blooming in March so it will bloom in summer too?
Not exactly..They bloom in Spring (March - May) After that, they stop flowering but plant remains alive though and we can store the bulbs for next season. Thank you!
@@GardeningUpbeat thank you. I have got its bulb as gift. So I was wondering if I can pot them now. So I am going to plant them now and wait patiently till next spring coz these days even springs stays short time.
Wish you all the best..if Summer temp is not extreme, they may bloom as well..
What's the soil mix?
Compost and shredded leaf mold
where can i get good freshia bulbs in u.p. india
I sow the bulb as you described . Having patient from almost one month. But there is no sign of germination. I water them when the top soil is dried . I bought the bulbs from seed and pot . Is there any hope should I need to do something
Hi
How did it go
Seeds and pot recommend to keep tip out , while others ask to bury it
What method did you use
Which is best time to plant this bulb?
@jitupon gogoi, Sept-Oct. For Summer, we can grow all these Bulbs and Lilies - ua-cam.com/video/XR6ejftAC7M/v-deo.html Thank you!
Why my freesia leaves turned brown?pls say
Hi, do freesia flower have fragrance?
yes, and they smell really lovely!
are you in a hurry? 😂 i was so tired listening to you, you’re like running in the marathon. 😂😂😂
anyway thanks for the information. 😊😊😊
Is bulb grow in rainy season please tell me
@kathod bhoir, thank you for your question. Honestly saying, I haven't tried growing them in Rainy/Summer season as they bloom in Winter - Early Spring. So, I don't think they would be able to survive the rainy season. I have some other alternatives for you for the rainy season -
1. Asiatic Lily (they are known to bloom in Winter season but they would bloom in Summer if you keep taking care)
2. Gladiolous (same as Asiatic Lily)
3. Tuberose (blooms in Summer and nice fragrant plant)
4. Rain Lily (Zephyranthes) - the name tales it all and perfect for rainy season. Blooms in Summer.
5. Footbal Lily (Scadoxus multiflorus) - Blooms in Summer
Please also note that, I am from India and I am suggesting the above plant names referring to the Indian climate.
If you have any questions, please let me know and I would be glad to help you. Thank you :-)
What's the best time to plant the bulbs in kolkata?And one thing please you talk slowly
@Susmita Dutta, Mid-end of September :-) I am sorry for recording everything very fast :-( It's one of my old video and did few mistakes initially.
you talk so fast.. slow down
@ Eleonor Gornica, extremely sorry for that and I believe, I have fixed the issue. I have started to talk slowly in my new videos. Thank you very much for your feedback, appreciate it. Have a great day :-)
😂😂😂😂😂 keep up
Slow it down in the playback speed of you can't keep up. I think he has a great pace and gets to the point.
Great advice. I’m growing for the first time and have no idea what I’m doin
I need freesia bulbs (single color and variety find) for my research....
@jan ilyas, I believe you can buy online and I did same as it's not available in my place. Thank you for watching :-)
Does freesia has fragrance? Pls reply
@Jalaz Mani, No exactly, thank you for watching :-)
Kab grow kare?
Sept-Oct is the best time to grow!
Sir main kolkata se hu. Mere climate me freesia grow karega kya
@Sumana Choudhury, Sure, you can grow easily and I am from Guwahati, so climate is almost similar :-) I would appreciate if you don't call me Sir, thank you :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you so much for replying. I ordered single freesia bulbs & is thinking of ordering 5 double. So I was worried as some people said they were unable to germinate freesia bulbs in kolkata.
@Sumana Choudhury, Most welcome and good luck in growing :-) They take quite a long time to sprout and please be careful not to water too much before they sprout. Good luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat Thank you I was planning to plant in September. Now I am thinking to sow in early October , when the temp falls at night.
speak too fast for me. glad to see the 130 result.
I like that you posted the length of days, the adding Bonemeal, I wish you would of included everything else in writing. Because I couldn't understand, though your video was also very good. You do speak very loud, I lowered the volume but it's too difficult to understand, and when I higher the volume your voice bothers my ears. Just use your normal tone.
@Vilma T. Gonzalez, Please accept my apologies...It was the 17th video in my Channel out of 250+ videos and initially, I did many mistakes :-( Funny thing is, my wife always said me that I talk very slow and quietly. So, I thought that I need to talk bit differently whenever I am doing a Channel and so this happened. Anyway, I came to know about my mistakes and I have tried my best to fix the issue in all of my new videos. I am sure that if you check one of my recent videos, you would clearly see the difference. But, I also know that I need to improve many things and I am trying my best to do that. Problem is, English is not my first language but this shouldn't be an excuse, I know!
Finally, thank you for being so nice and for an amazing feedback! It's hard to get such feedback online, truly appreciate it! I am also quite amazed that you already knew that I was not using my real tone in the video, truly amazing!!! Thank you So much for everything and have a great time ahead :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat I will check your other videos. Thank you for your response!! 🦋
👍
Playback speed 0.75x
Slow down please 😮 You really don’t have to speak that fast. We are missing valuable information. Thank you.
Please accept my apologies..I already specified the reason in the comment section. You can slower the speed by clicking on Setting (Engine like Symbol on bottom of the screen) -> Playback Speed. There if you select 0.5, everything would come in 1/2 of speed I was talking :-) I have also fixed the Subtitles in the video. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask me. Thank you for stopping by and sorry once again!
For goodness sake talk slower you talk like a record on the wrong speed and it is hard to concentrate on what you are saying
@Arnold Arnold, I am so sorry...it's an old video and did many mistakes initially..mainly editing and recording mistake. In real life, I never ever talk like that way. Actually, in really life I talk much slower than this and calmly. And, while doing the videos, I thought people would mind if I talk slowly. So, this happened. Anyway, I am trying my best to improve everything and I hope new videos are bit better. Thank you for watching even though it was kinda horrible..
Great video. You do it very well, but jesus use a comma. Take a breath. Slow down
What?
What are you hurrying for?!!!
@hummingbird, I am really very sorry for talking bit fast. I have fixed this issue somewhat in my new videos and I hope those are bit better, even if not perfect. Thank you :-)
I’m know I’m gonna kill my bulbs.
You speak too fast. Most of the viewers don't grasp what you say.Please
My freesia are not blooming
@Ranjeet Yadav, can you let me know how many days ago you planted them? They actually quite a long time to bloom. Time is still there and they would bloom definitely if you continue caring for them. Good luck :-)
@@GardeningUpbeat I have planted them 3-4 months and even some planted by me more than 6 months
But i did not provide them water soluble fertilizers
May b this is the reason
Oh my god 130 days😥
You are speaking so fast I can't get the proper understanding of what you are saying. Also whatever you're saying seems to be in one long sentence with no pause. Please speak more slowly.
Please could you slow down your speech and speak English as it’s very difficult to understand you.
does freshia have parfume??
@Dhantie Darsono, Not really...
They do, at least the ones in Shillong do. But I got mine online they bloomed well, stayed safe in the pot inside the house and began to sprout in mid September this year . But sorry to say, the scent is very faint. I'm in Dehradun.
The most wonderful! Cannot get enough - I love it... I only get the yellow I don’t know about the rest of they smell different
Good lord. You on something? Slow down.
Apologies......used to do this mistake at the very beginning. If you like, you can slow the speed and I have also fixed the Subtitles (though it was very difficult to write for me itself it as I talked very fast..he he. Had to pause many times in between)
R
Cant listen to it… so fast that I got annoyed
Sorry for that (it's an old video)..if you want, you can slow the speed (Hover over the player and click Settings. Click Speed. Select the speed at which you'd like the video to play.) and I have also FIXED the Subtitles, thank you!
130 days? Wtf?
Most of the bulbs take time to bloom if they are not matured enough..Anyway, they are best to be grown in ground..where they would bloom every year at the right time, sometime like Amaryllis.
