When you first buy your iris, you need to let it get used to the right conditions for a period of time. It is best to maintain an ambient temperature of 15-20°C. Don't water too much at the beginning to prevent water accumulation in the pot soil and root rot. You can spray water around the leaves from time to time. Don’t rush to fertilize it when you first buy it, as too much fertilizer may burn the roots. After it adapts to the environment, you can change the pot and soil. The soil and roots should be disinfected before changing the pot, and top dressing and water can be added after changing the pot.

1. Soil

1. Soil

Iris likes a fertile soil environment rich in humus, and it must be noted that it likes clay soil. And it doesn't like acidic environments. Neutral or alkaline soil is more suitable for its growth. When you first buy it, there is generally no need to change the soil. But if the soil is very poor, it can be replaced.

2. Environment

Just bought it The returned iris has just come into contact with a new environment and needs to be given a more comfortable environment to encourage it to start growing. It is best to give it a temperature of 15-17℃ and mild sunlight. Normally, the temperature in the growing environment should be adjusted in time. If it is summer, it should be properly shaded and cooled to prevent it from getting sunburned.

3. Watering

Iris prefers a humid growth environment and has high water requirements. Don't pour too much water when you first buy it, just pour a little bit regularly. However, there must be no lack of water. If there is insufficient water or frequent water shortage, slow germination and stunted development may occur. You can also spray some water on the page to moisturize and cool down, but do not maintain and spray water in an environment that is too sunny, as leaf spots are easy to appear.

4. Fertilization

You have to wait Consider fertilizing after it has adapted to the environment. When transplanting or repotting iris, you can add some decomposed compost into the new pot, or add some plant ash as base fertilizer. It will grow rapidly during the growth period and requires an appropriate increase in fertilization. Before flowering, fertilization can be increased 1-2 times to improve the quality of flowering.

5. Pests and diseases

It is best to disinfect the soil and roots before changing pots, because potted iris is prone to soft rot, which may cause root rot. After it occurs, the plant should be dug out in time and the rotten parts should be cut off. After disinfection and sterilization, the plant should be repotted and soiled and replanted. And dead branches and leaves should be cleaned up in time to keep the leaves clean to reduce the risk of pests and diseases.
