Can purple iris be grown hydroponically?

Purple iris can be grown hydroponically. Whether it is better to grow it in soil or hydroponically depends on your preference.

Purple iris hydroponic method and key points

1. Choose the plant

Before hydroponically cultivating purple irises, it is best to choose vigorous plants that are in the growth period and have fully developed root systems, which will increase the survival rate of the plants.

2. Treat the plants

Before hydroponics, remove the dirt attached to the roots of purple irises, then wash them in clean water. After trimming off dead leaves, rotten roots and old roots, disinfect the roots with the prepared potassium permanganate solution. After about 10 minutes, take them out and set them aside to dry.

3. Prepare the container

After processing the purple iris, you can put the plant into the prepared glass container and add an appropriate amount of water for hydroponics.

Precautions for growing purple iris in water

1. After placing it in a container for hydroponics, you must pay attention to proper maintenance in the later stage. You can place it in a diffuse light environment to expose it to soft light, change the water regularly to keep it clean, and add some nutrient solution, which will be more conducive to its growth.

2. During the hydroponic culture process of purple iris, it is necessary to prevent root rot. If the roots accidentally rot, the plant should be removed in time, the rotten roots should be cut off, and it should be replanted and cultivated after disinfection and sterilization.
