Iris is a wonderful plant for the yard and garden

Iris, an amazing plant for yard and garden 



Iris is a perennial herbaceous plant that gives mesmerizing flowers in a variety of colors in the garden or on the balcony. In Greek mythology, the deity of the iris rainbow was not a coincidence. The iris is planted in autumn and gives its spectacular blooms in spring with beautiful flowers that stand out for their delicate and attractive appearance. And from the colors? Blue, white, red, yellow, orange, and black! There are also beautiful two-tone irises with color combinations. We can decorate the iris flowers in the room by creating flowering bouquets that will keep in a vase for 2-3 weeks.


What conditions are suitable for iris transplantation?


The iris grows in fertile and slightly acid soils. She loves well-drained soil with little water to thrive and gives us her wonderful flowers. It needs enough sunlight to produce lush flowers and may not bloom if kept in shady places. The iris is planted very close to the ground, 3-5 cm deep in cold areas and slightly deeper than 5-10 cm in warmer areas. The planting distance between bulbs or iris rhizomes is 20-30 cm. To plant the iris in the flowerpot, we select the south or west-facing balcony and use the common herb. We make sure there are holes in our flowerpot, and it is best to place a layer of pebbles or pebbles at its base to better drain the water.


What care is needed to irrigate and fertilize the iris?



Iris is very durable and unnecessary. Even a little distance to forget, it will not be a problem. Generally, the iris needs regular watering, 1-2 times a week, until it germinates and flowers. Be careful though, excessive watering will rot its roots. As for further lubrication, the iris is rarely there. Add a little bit of whole grain fertilizer at the time of planting and mix it with the soil or potting soil if we have planted it in a pot. We repeat the second full fertilizer application in early spring, excluding the use of nitrogen fertilizers.


What diseases and pests attack the iris?


The iris is not particularly susceptible to diseases and pests. To protect against pests pressing plant tissues and characteristic hives can be prevented by dissolving 20 g of green soap and 5 ml of alcohol in 1 liter of water and spraying the green soap solution. In excess moisture and poor drainage conditions, the irises can become infected with fungal diseases, which can cause cramps in the rhizomes and bulbs. In this case, irrigate the roots of the iris with a solution of copper sulfate (sapphire) to combat it.


How does the iris grow?



Iris is propagated by the division of bulbs or rhizomes depending on the species and variety. However, if you do not want to buy bulbs and iris rhizomes every year, we follow the well-known storage practice for all bulb flowers. We remove the bulbs of the plant from the ground, remove any remaining soil, and check for diseases, rot, or blows. Those bulbs that are in good condition will be stored in a cardboard box with light holes for good ventilation. In the box we add sawdust or rice, absorb moisture, the bulb does not germinate prematurely, and then does not rot. And the last secret about the iris there is also a unique water iris variety, the watermelon, which lives in water on its rhizomes and grows to produce yellow flowers. Suitable for small ponds and fountains in our garden.
