What to do if the irises are too dense

How to deal with irises that are too dense

If the irises are too dense, you can trim them appropriately. Cutting off unnecessary branches and leaves will help to fully supply nutrients to other branches and promote growth.

If the irises are too dense, it will affect the growth of the plants and may lead to insufficient nutrient supply, causing the plants to become short and wilted, so they must be pruned in time.

Iris pruning too densely

Irises need to be pruned if they are too dense. Generally, appropriate pruning should be done after the flowers have withered, and overgrown branches, thin branches, and withered flowers should be pruned away.

Iris flowers are too dense to be divided into pots

1. When propagating irises by division, choose 3-4 year old adult plants in good growth condition, remove them from the pots, separate the tubers underneath, dry the cuts and apply wood ash.

2. Prepare a new potting soil and plant the divided iris tubers in the pot. Do not plant too deep. Water thoroughly after planting and pay attention to maintenance afterwards.
