Detailed explanation of daily care methods for iris

Cultivation methods

There are usually two types of irises we see, one is planted in water, and the other is planted in the soil above the water surface. Under normal circumstances, irises in soil are not as good as those in water, so cultivation is usually carried out in wetlands.

Iris likes a humid environment and requires a lot of water to grow. During the planting process, ensure sufficient light, and control the light time to more than 6 hours; ensure sufficient air humidity and soil humidity, and apply fertilizer in time.

Reproduction and maintenance

There are three main ways to propagate iris: sowing, division and tissue culture.

Sowing is mainly carried out in spring and autumn. Division can be carried out in spring, autumn or after flowering, and tissue culture can be carried out at any time. With the development of science and technology today, the shoulder buds, leaves and stem tips can be differentiated and cultured after being disinfected, so that a large number of plants can be cultivated.

Maintenance management

Watering and fertilizing

Iris requires proper watering and fertilization. Potted plants need to be managed more carefully and the fertilizer should not be too concentrated to avoid burning the roots. The management of ground-planted plants is relatively extensive, and it is sufficient to apply fertilizer once in spring and after flowering.

prune

After flowering, diseased leaves, root stumps and flower stems should be cut off in time. When repotting and transplanting, cut off the leaves on the upper part of the plant, leaving 20 cm for transplanting. For some introduced varieties, soak the roots in rooting agent before planting.

weeding

After the iris is planted, many weeds will grow around it, so it is necessary to loosen the soil and weed in time. Weed when the soil is dry. Manual extraction.
