How to grow irises so they bloom

Iris Flowering Time

The flowering period of irises starts in April and ends in June every year. Each iris flower only blooms for a short twenty days, after which the flowers will wither. At the same time, when caring for irises during the flowering period, it is necessary to loosen the soil regularly to improve the soil's air permeability and allow the plants to grow better.

How to grow and bloom irises

1. Provide moisture

Irises are suitable for growing in a relatively humid environment, so when caring for irises, you need to provide the plant with an appropriate amount of water and keep the soil slightly moist. Each time you water it, you must water it thoroughly, but there should be no accumulation of water, otherwise the roots will rot and affect the flowering of the plant.

2. Supplement nutrients

Irises have a high demand for nutrients during their growth process, so when caring for irises, you also need to provide the plant with an appropriate amount of nutrients to make it bloom faster. When providing nutrients to the plant, you need to pay attention to the amount of fertilizer. Generally, it needs to be diluted with water before use to allow the plant to absorb enough nutrients.

3. Suitable lighting

Irises are suitable for growing in a relatively warm environment, so when caring for irises, you also need to provide the plant with appropriate light to help it carry out photosynthesis better. When providing light for the plant, you need to pay attention to the light intensity. If the light is strong in summer, provide shade.
