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.


I have not tried it yet I just ordered them. My seasons are... March - May we are between 40 - 70F
May - July we are 70-80F
July - Sept we are 80- 90F
Oct - Dec 70 - 40s F
Jan- Feb 40s - 20s some nights we can go below 0
