This is a perennial frost-resistant plant with a massive root system in the form of bulbs. They are expanding these luxurious flowers everywhere, they grow very quickly, so many gardeners are interested in when and how the transplant of Irisov is carried out, and how to care for dissolved plants so that they go to the growth and Pleased with blossom.
A little about iris
Irises - Flowers with reprehensive leaves and large flowers. The diverse color range of colors and their bizarre form always attract attention. Irises with great pleasure grow many flowerflowers. They are appreciated by decorative View and beauty. These flowers are grown worldwide. Most of Varieties grows on the territory of the Mediterranean, South and Central Asia. Almost every garden has this amazing flowerwhich fascinates with its beauty and a variety of tones.
- Iris is an unpretentious plant, so care is not considered difficult. Timely loosening of the soil, regular weeding, cleaning the site with plants from weeds, as well as timely irrigation and fertilizer - everything that will be required for the full growth and development of these colors in the garden plot.
This plant is frost-resistant, grows in open soil without shelter. Transplanting Iris, as well as their landing is held in any soil. But, ideally, it is better to use a plot with a sublibious soil with a neutral level of acidity. Perennial irises can grow in one place to 5-7 years.
- An important factor in full-fledged development for these colors is good lighting. Plants planted on the pronted plot will grow pale and will be poorly blossom. For Irisov, you need to choose a well-lit plot without winds, drafts. To avoid the roting of the root system, you need to choose a place with soil, which will not be constantly overwhelmed due to surface groundwater.
- Excessive moisture in the Earth can cause the leaves from plants will begin to be covered with brown spots and rot. From the middle of the summer, watering plants cut. It will take competent and correct care For iris to prevent their death.
Irises speak very well to feeding. First feeding is carried out in early spring. Soil wake up with mineral easily soluble fertilizer. In dry form, 10 grams of powder on one plant are used.
- The second time the fertilizer is introduced when floral buds begin to form and the flowering period of irises are coming. For feeding use the same drug as at first feeding.
- When the plants comes the second vegetation period, the third, final feeding of flowers. The last fertilizer is introduced to increase the resistance of plants to the cold. For this, drugs with phosphorus and potassium content are used. That's all the main care for irises that will not seem difficult even for newcomer flowerflowers.
When to transplant irises?
Many flower flows are interested in the question when the transplant of the Irisov is held. Replacing these flowers is recommended every 5 years in autumn. This will prevent the root system to outstand the root system, which may cause reducing abundant flowering Plants. By this time, the bush grows up, a lot of processes appear on it, which prevent each other to develop. The ideal period of transplantation is the end of August - the beginning of September. The best of all the plants have been transplanted after they are swinging, fall, or if they did not have time - during the growing season, in the spring.
This will allow the colors to be successfully rooted. Late squeezed flowers can just die. Seaming plants need to pay careful and competent care. If you transplant irises in summer, then the next year, in the spring, they will release floral buds. Abundant bloom can be observed and a few years after landing.
How to perform a transplant?
Before transplanting, in the fall, the land needs to be switched and well dispel. To increase the nutrition of the soil, the flower fertilizers are added to the soil. They also do not recommend using the body as feeding for these colors. The reproduction of irises is carried out with the help of seeds and the vegetative method in the spring. The reproduction method of seeds is more often used to remove a new variety. In this case, planted plants will bloom only after 2-3 years. Therefore, gardeners resort to more easy method - Decision of rhizomes. Already a year after such landing, plants should bloom. By the way, this is a universal method that allows you to propagate both wild and decorative varieties.
The rhizome of the iris consists of links that are separated by thin jumpers. Each link has its own fan and its roots. When transplanting the bush should be divided so that each decene consists of 1-3 units.
For successful breeding Iris in the spring, dig a healthy and thick branching bush, shake off root system From the ground and divide it on the part so that in each share there was a point of growth or leaf beam.
- After that, the procedure for the removal of damaged and fallen roots is carried out, the slice of the leaves on half of the entire length, as well as the removal of dry foliage. Prepared parts for landing It is recommended to displaced. For this, they are lowered into a weak solution of potassium permanganate for half an hour, then dried. Sections need to be treated with powder wood coal.
- On the site of the landing of the irises, pits with a small hormster in the center. From above on them laying up the rhizome of the plant and spread it around. The distance between the landings should be at least 50 cm.
- When landing, the decene can not be plugged - the upper part of the roots should be in the ground with the ground, otherwise the plants will get rooted with root rot.
- After landing, Iris is rarely water, since excess moisture prevents them from rooting.
Prevention of diseases in transplantation
Unlike other varieties of this family, Irises are resistant to pests and various diseases. But still there are some insects and diseases that are striking and these flowers are rotting the leaves and the root system.
The appearance of rotes is caused by the permanent moistener of the soil. Such copies are digging, purified from reinforced roots and lowered into a solution based on the drug. The plants are then dried within 10-12 hours in the sun and planted into a new soil.
Another disease that can appear in Irisov - heteroscope. Most often it is manifested in the second half of the summer in the form of shallow brown spotty on foliage.
The affected leaves are removed and burned, and the plant spray with a solution copper Kaper - 100 g of the drug is divorced by 10 liters of water.
Most. dangerous insect, striking irises, is considered to be gladiolus trips. The depressed and unhealthy appearing on the appearance of the leaves of flowers. For its extermination, the flowers are treated with a drug confident - 0.5 ml of the substance is divorced with 5 liters of water. On the area of \u200b\u200b5 square meters. M brings 0.5 liters of the finished solution.
In order to grow beautifully and lush flowering and healthy irises, they need to pay timely care And attention, which includes the fight against pests.
One of the rules of color care is the constant and timely of their transplant. You need to know when it is better to move the flower to a new place, how to choose the right place that you will need to work and how to carry out the transplant process. Most gardeners, both beginners and experienced, are interested in the question when and how to transplant frequently found flowers of irises. About their transplant to a new place in autumn period, subsequent care and necessary ruleswhich should be adhered to, we will tell.
Why and after how much you need to transplant to another place
So that the bushes grow well and bloom, they need to create comfortable conditions. To transplant the flowers to a new place, you need to choose such a plot on which a lot of the sun must have a good ventilation. 
Under these conditions, the irises feel best and abundantly bloom.
Did you know? FROM greek The name of the colors is translated as "Rainbow" or "Rainbow". This is due to the fact that there is quite a large number of varieties and shades of this flower that are available for purchase and landing.
The planned transplant must be carried out at least every three or four years. The best time so that the flower is mastered in the new soil, the spring is considered when the active height phase begins. But you can make a transplant and autumn.
When to dispute irises in autumn
The best time for changing the place of residence will be the period after flowering or vegetation. If you transplant irises in the flowering process or too late after it, they will most likely not transfer transplants.
If the summer was very hot and dry, the best time shift time will be the last days August or the beginning of autumn.
At this time, the plant growth phase also comes, and it can be good in new conditions. It is worth choosing time at the beginning of autumn - it is best to start a business in September, while still warm. But in the late autumn, after mid-October, the transplant is not recommended - Iris may not take care and plant.
The transplant fall in the fall and several of their advantages - at this time the rhizomes are not crowded out, and therefore it does not reduce the duration and abundance of flowering. Also during this period, Kostik grow well, it can be searched after this or leave bloom and get a large number of colors.
Selection of space on the plot
When choosing a site, it should be remembered that these flowers are light-minded, so it is recommended to select a plot with good access light and wind, preferably without shadows and extra moisture. 
If the water in the soil is too much, it can lead to reinforcement of roots or the appearance of mold and other diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the level of groundwater in a new place.
Important! Iris is a very resistant flower frost, so it can winter in open soil of any composition.
Lighting should be quite bright, also bushes love ventilated places, but not with strong wind. It should be remembered that the landing place must be prepared in advance.
Preparatory work
There are mandatory steps to stick to the transplant to a new place. After its choice, the soil fertilizer is also prepared, and the plant itself is prepared. 
Preparation of soil
Place under the flower should be switched in advance, at least in a week or two. Ideally, this preparation is carried out even a few weeks before the planned movement of the irises. Drop the pit about twenty centimeters of depth, that is, in the bayonet shovel.
If necessary, bring sand with the soil. If the soil is too sour, be sure to add at least a hassle of lime.
It is important to hold and feed the earth: for this, mineral fertilizers will fit, for which the bushes react well. If you feed the iris in one fertilizer variety, then use them.
Of course, when preparing the soil, all foreign plants should be removed, clean the place from weeds and other root systems.
Preparation of plants
If the bushes are already old and very big, it is better to dig them, using a pitchfork, a little sprinkling the roots on them. Without damage to this case, it is not necessary, since the roots of the plant are very fragile.
Therefore, if the volume is quite large, you will have to separate them and transplant only some part. After the main part of the roots is selected, which will be reset, they can be washed with water.
This will allow you to view the system of the system and determine whether these decene should be used. Patients, dry and damaged parts are removed.
Important! In order for the plant better to change the transplant and is accustomed to new conditions, it should stop fertilize the bush about a month or two to the planned date of change.
The leaves should also be trimmed - necessarily at an angle of 1/3, so that a peculiar fan is formed. After that, it is worth the disinfection of rhizomes and leaves in a mortgage solution or a special preparation that can be purchased in a garden shop. For transplantation in autumn you need to choose potash and phosphoric fertilizers - nitrogen at this time are not suitable.
Organizer Plants are postponed very badly, it is better to add ash to the hole, approximately with a handful or two, and after that, to plant an iris to a new place.
How to plant irises in a new place
In a new place, you need to create conditions for the free growth of each bush. So, the Earth has already been prepared and loosen, there are fertilizers in it.
Plants are placed in the pits in a depth and width of about 20 centimeters, neatly sprinkling the earth to form a small slide. 
Tips that will help landing the Iris in the fall:
- You should not put plants too deep, otherwise they will begin to rotate. Top part The root system should be at the ground level.
- Rhizome when landing needs to be strained into different directions.
- Choose 3-4 roots for planting.
- All sections must be treated with an antiseptic agent.
- Choose dry, not a rainy day.
- Doing fertilizers directly when planting plants do not need - enough for those that were made earlier in the preparation of the soil.
Did you know? Seeds of Iris were once considered a very expensive delicacy. They were fried in a special way and served as a treat. And then they prepared a drink that resembles to taste and color of coffee.
The distance between the wells should be at least 50 centimeters - this will provide free growth of bushes in the future. 
Subsequent care
Watering the plants after the transplant should be rare, as it is nearing cold periodMoreover, the oversupply of moisture will prevent his baby to root. Feature also should not.
After the transplant, dry leaves may appear, but it is quite normal, as the flower is only getting used to a new place: soon the fresh new leaves will grow.
Preparing for wintering plants at this stage ends. Since they are winter-hardy, cover and insulate them for nothing, required trimming Already produced. Special care after such a transplant is not needed.
Irises - very beautiful flowerslungs in care and content. The process of their transplant is quite simple. The main thing - right choice Places and its preparation. 
If you hold this process as it should be, then the bush will grow well even in the fall and have enough strength to calmly fall into and already very soon please you with beautiful flowers.

This manipulation is required to rejuvenate plants and maintain order in a flower bed - irises begin to grow randomly over time.
Rules of procedure
Gently dig up the bored bush of Iris Garden forks, shake the ground, carefully weep the rhizome hands.
Manually fails? Cut it with a sharp knife to neat delices.
After each procedure, we disinfect the tool with a strong heatman or alcohol solution. Then we shorten the damaged areas of the root and cut the leaves and roots up to 10 cm.
Finished deals about half an hour with stand in a dark-pink solution of manganese or in the Maxim preparation and dry cuts in the sun.
After that, the location is drinking ashes.
If the weather is sunny, there is a couple of days under warm rays - it will help reveal hidden infections and illness.
When landing the irises, remember: the rhizome must be at the soil level, the plug is possible for a couple of centimeters only on sandy soils.
The roots are placed in the landing well below the rhizomes, we can paint and fall asleep. The soil is well compacted.
If the weather stands dry and hot, on the eve of the landing of the well, it is necessary to shed a good water, if the soil compacted greatly, be sure to refuse it.

Irises are widely found in our country: right up to Far East About 80 species of these beautiful colors grow, which is reflected in popular names: Cockerel, Beverage, Bubakers, Hare Cuccurs.
The raw materials of the Iris mainly serve roots with rhizomes that contain glycoside iriedine, essential oil, the main component of which is the ion, starch, tanning substances, oily oils and mucus.
Pleasant smell of violet is inherent only dry roots. Iris oil is widely used in perfumery. In medical practice, the root is applied as component Anti-tech teas. The goat of the rods wrote: "Koom, the teeth teck up, boldly the cake of the violet root." The rhizome of the iris is used as an effective laxative, core and expectorant.

Homeopaths use Iris with inflammation of the pancreas, as well as vegetative neurosis, intestinal cats, to strengthen hair; It is part of the breast collection, collecting health. IN folk medicine MNP fruits and flowers of milky-white iris are used as an anti-shine.
Iris is a perennial grassy plant of the columns family. Rhizome is large, light brown, horizontal. An annual, straight, cylindrical stalk, up to 1 m, ends with 2-4 flowers, large, fragrant, very diverse in color. Double-row leaves, vaginal, shorter stems, sword-shaped, all-strinny, are strictly focused on countries of light, they are facing their widends to East and West.

Iris Germanic (I. germanica l.) - a plant height up to 60 cm with purple flowers;
Iris Florentine (I. Florentina L.) - a plant height up to 40 cm with white or pale blue flowers.
Growing and collecting medicinal raw materials Iris
The culture of Iris is very demanding to light, so the site should be well covered throughout the day. The Iris seeds belong to the hard-rise, therefore, with the spring crop, they are previously subjected to stratification for 2.5 months at 4-7 ° C or scarification. IN lately It began to use to accelerate the germination of gibberellic acid seeds (100 mg / l). Washing is carried out within 5 days.
In production, and in the practice of gardening, adopted a vegetative way of reproduction of Iris root process, the good survival rate of which is given when transplanting high coefficient Retalization - 1: 10. The mass of rhizomes is growing mainly in the first two years. As the soil seals, the rhizomic increases decrease. In the period of active growth essential oil In rhizome rises. Iris has two waves of active growth in April and September.
The plant is not demanding that the soil fertility, heat, rather winter hardy and drought resistant. With an excess of moisture, the roots are puments. It is impossible to cultivate an iris on heavy clay soils. Soils should have a large arable horizon of 20-22 cm, be well-permeable, crushed.
Iris cultivate in one place for 2-3 years, so his site should be located somewhat away from the garden with a well-lit south and southeast exposure. The best predecessors of the Iris are bean cultureBut maybe the wet.
The best landing time is the second half of September. Jump the site follows a month before landing at the entire depth of the arable layer. In the Non-Black Zone, it should be 20-25 cm or better up to 30 cm. For a month before the landing of the site as weeds appear cultivated and harrow.
The use of fertilizers during the cultivation of iris requires special caution. Making large norms of nitrogen mineral or organic fertilizers leads to a sharp decrease in essential oil in rhizome, enhances the impactability of rooting with a wire, roots in more than Subjected to rot. That is why after a well-haired manure of the predecessor Iris on this site should be placed only on the second or third year. Potash and phosphoric fertilizers contribute to root growth and improve their fragrance.
As the main fertilizer under the plot of the site should be made by 1 m2 to 30 g of phosphate and 15 g potash fertilizers. Feeding early spring is held nitrogen fertilizers Normally 10 g per 1 m2, and in the fall - phosphate normally 15 g per 1 m2 with sealing them into the soil to a depth of 5-7 cm.
The planting material is prepared immediately before planting, hagging it into the furrows to a depth of 12-15 cm at a distance of 35-40 cm in a row with a width of 60 cm.
During the vegetation, loosenings are carried out, weeding, in the arid period - watering. Mandatory reception - verification, i.e., removal at the very beginning of the floweros for the purpose of greater increase in the underground mass.
Copp roots are carried out in the second half of September or in the 3-4th decade of April on the 2-3rd year of the plant's life. Dropped rhizomes are cleaned from the ground, the leaves, wash, are cut into parts and dried at a temperature not higher than 40 ° C. The yield of dry roots up to 3 kg / m2. The root is considered well dried when it becomes elasticity of solid rubber, becomes white inside, acquires a pleasant fragrance of violet. Dry root yield from raw 1: 3.
Useful advice
I want to tell you about "ours" - Siberian iris! I do not even know why they were attracted by them, and not recognized handsome-bearded beauties. The first thing in my flower garden appeared, of course, bearded irises, however, it turned out that, instead of "getting sick" and every year to buy all new varieties, I, on the contrary, gradually got rid of everyone, leaving only one grade. And then ... then I was lucky to get the deserted decene of the Siberian Iris. It was five years ago. This bush still sits in the same place where I immediately planted it, but only now it is much more! If, with first bloom, I was happy with only two or three shooters, then there were several dozen of them in the summer, and another five years you can talk about hundreds of flowers ...
Is impressive? Then I tell more. Of course, modern varieties of Siberian irises are not at all similar to their species progenitors, but they retain important qualities - amazing unpretentiousness and stability, allowing these flowers in almost all regions of our country and spend the minimum effort. However, even "spacers" like me much more than the most gorgeous bearded irises, and that is why.
A big problem of bearded irises (except except dwarf varieties) Is the need for a garter of flowers. It is worth passing a strong rain, and the eyes will appear with a depressing spectacle: someone fell on the track, someone broke ... And the bushes of "Sibiryaki" still rush up their butterfly flowers. Therefore, they never spoil their own flower. For those amateur flowers who prefer "landscape flowers", this is, of course, big
No matter how sad, but the time of flowering is short-lived both in some and other irises. June ends, the view of the flower bed is changing, and a new difference is visible. The "Plantation" of bearded irises looks crying - begin to partially dry out their large juicy leaves. That's right, July for the "bearded" intermediate rest period when they can be divided and replant. As a rule, the fan of the leaves is strongly cut. We are transferred at that corner of the garden, where the "Siberians" ... Summer is growing in full swing - the roses bloom, the carnival begins at lilies, the loylays bloom ... and for all this magnificence, the bright green healthy foliage of Siberian irises serves as an excellent background. She does not shine to the most frosts.
We have already numbered "two big differences" between these flowers. There is also the third - this is the need for frequent transplant. Bearded irises have to transplant every three years, because their rhizome is rapidly growing, the old parts are dying. And in order to keep the iris in the framework of the allotted territory and protect against diseases, you have to constantly rejuvenate landings.
The Siberian Iris can grow in one place for several decades, slowly, but correctly increasing uniformly in all directions. It is only necessary to take into account this immediately when landing and provide such neighbors to him, which one can easily transplanted over time.
I breed the Siberian irises dividing the bush. Best time For this purpose - the second half of August, September. The rhizome carefully cuts into parts, so that in each there are several fans of the leaves, the foliage slightly shortening. For abundant flowering, Siberian irises plant on the open sunny Placebut need to remember that in southern regions Our country, Irises may suffer from overheating, and there it is better to plant them in a half. They are much more bearded to love water, abundant irrigation, but constant excess overpowering is not kept.
Winterly without any shelter, not extincting even in frosty and low-touch winter. With full right, they can be attributed to the colors from the "planted and forgotten". But to forget them difficult! I am sure that by putting at least one Siberian Iris, you will definitely want to plant yet. You have a huge selection, because by now several hundred varieties of these wonderful colors is derived!
I still have only a few columns with simple flowers And a couple of new terry pets, from which during flowering it is simply impossible to tear the look! I hope my story is interested, and you also pierced with love for a simple, but beautiful Siberian Iris!

After the nutritional procedures made, the soil loose, they are rejected by re-fork and build a bed or a flowerbed with a slight bias to the south. It is not recommended to add pressure to the soil immediately before landing the irises, to help them with the soil better a year before landing.
Irises can be grown in one place without transplanting up to 10 years (Siberian Iris and Iris Kempfera), hybrid - up to 5 years. Over the years, the bushes of Iris are very growing, it will be necessary big squareOtherwise, in a limited space, they will miss nutrients.
Landing Irisov
IN summer time The irises have a flower kidney, so that the Irises with already formed by the kidneys are winter, of which new flowers will appear in the new season. In gentle varieties of irises, flower kidneys (and the rhizomes themselves) at a temperature of -7-10 ° C may die.
It follows to plant the irises after the end of their flowering, as long as their flower kidney has not had time to ride, and the new links at the rhizoma have already managed to grow. Separate these links from the plant with a knife, the bush itself does not dig.
The landing unit of the iris (the blade, the dowel, the fan) is a one-year-old root link, the diameter of which is 1-2 cm, and the length is 3 cm. Its leaves must be shorted by one third of the length, the roots should be cut, leaving 7-10 cm.
The best time for landing Iris is summer. The roots on the young link are still in its infancy, and their active growth begins at the site of landing in 7-14 days. By the time the flower kidney will be laid, the tanks are already firmly rooted. Summer landing for duration takes 14 days.
If you want to plant irises in the fall, then choose plants with an already laid floral kidney, no more than 6 cm long and a diameter of 2-3 cm, with well-developed roots. If you are lucky with the weather, your plant is quickly rooted and will bloom the next year.
The autumn landing period takes up to one and a half months. Try to choose the landing time so that your plant has managed to root before the soil freezes.
During the landing, keep in mind that the rhizer is correctly planted Iris is at the level of the soil, and the leaf fan must remain vertical if it is pamped with palm. Based on the length of the roots, the landing fossa of the required depth is digging. At the bottom of this pit it should be built by a small holmik, which is placed on the roots. Slightly pressing the seedling, fall asleep with its layer of land.
After that, it is necessary to pour a plant, and after 3-5 days to pour a second time. Saplings are best dialed if sunny days too hot. For additional heating, it is better to arrange the decek with leaves to the north side.
Iris saplings need to be careful as all others perennial plants: Deleting weeds (recommended by hands), timely loosening of the soil, seasonal feeding, watering, treatment of diseases, the fight against pests and the like.
But besides all of the above, there are some features in the cultivation of the irises that you need to know that your irises have been healthy and did not stop your blossom.
One-year-old landing of irises at the end of the autumn must be well covered with foliage or pine fabric. At the beginning of the spring, as soon as snow comes down, this shelter is removed. Old landing in winter Do not need shelter.
In the spring, when the snow melts, turn the winter shelter with the forks, and as soon as the soil falls out, the shelter should be removed. The soil around the rhizomes is unscrewed.
Undercalinking Iris Fertilizers
As soon as the top layer of the Earth will dry, the soil can be fertilized. After putting into the soil mineral fertilizer It should be disappeared, deepening by 4-5 cm. At the same time, try not to damage the roots of the irises, because they are almost on the surface.
Hybrid irises, which have reached the age of 3-5 years, fertilize:
in the early spring, mineral feeders of 2 parts of nitrogen, 1 pieces of phosphorus and 1 part of potassium;
During the formation of boutons of mineral feeding from 3 parts of nitrogen, 1 part of phosphorus and 3 parts of potassium;
A month after the flowering of mineral feeding from 1 part of the phosphorus and 1 part of potassium.
Such three-time feeding will make your irises hardy and highly relevant.
If you fit the soil when boarding young irises, then summer period She will no longer need it.
If the plant during a certain period does not reach the necessary nutrients, it adversely affects its growth and development. For Garden Iris, this period is the time when the second vegetative growth of new shoots occurs and when flower kidneys are laid. If during this period a plant to fertilize, then next year it will be abundantly blossoming.
Irises need to put it right and correctly divide. Decision and transplanting of Irisov You can spend until mid-September. It is not hurry to hurry. You can start a division no earlier than forty days after their flowering. This is very an important rule. It is for this deadline nutrients We manage to go to rhizome plants.
The external sign, speaking about the preparedness of the plant to transplant, is the purely middle of the bush. At this time, the bush loses his decorativeness. Irises seem to run away from the dead dignity. When dividing it is better to dig a bush completely. After the dragon, you need to smooth the soil and gently divide the rhizome, capening it on the sides. After that with acute knife Rhizome is divided into smaller parts, and 1-3 sockets should remain on each defense. Old and blackened parts of rhizomes are removed. Cut black roots need to be healthy.
The plants obtained during division are soaked for 30 minutes in a solution of fungicide for the prevention of diseases of fungal etiology. The leaves in the irises need to cut on an altitude of 10-15 cm, leaving a small fan.
Before landing the deteen received, they need to be dried for several days. When drying, the extreme leaves of the plant can be brightened. It is quite normal - after such a procedure, the irises are rooted faster.
Plant Iris Need to a small hollyk so that the plant hugged the soil roots. Irises can not be plugged during the landing. It is also very important moment When growing irises. The back of the root of the plant should perform above the ground by 5-7mm and better so that it is deployed to the south. This is explained by the fact that a well-hot back is a guarantee of the successful laying of flower kidney. When Irises are planted, do not try to plunge them (if they strongly burst the irises, then the rhizome can be contrary). If the plant and will survive after the Blow, then the flowering of it will be weak. For the winter, young irises need to cover the backs of peat or land, and in the spring it is necessary to open them. Old plants do not cover if only the grade is not different in winter hardiness. It is necessary to plant irises only on a well-lit plot.
In the shadow, irises bloom badly.
The composition of the soil also plays a major role in the cultivation of irises. The ideal for the soil irises is neutral, well-aligned loam. If the soil is heavy, it is necessary to add peat and sand into it. Irises do not like sandy soil - it must be moistened with clay. Also, irises are not overwhelmed, so they need to be protected from the close location of groundwater.
Irisa, like most garden flowersneed a periodic transplant. In one place, the young bush can grow from three to five years, but during this time it forms many new links that begin to simply drink out of the ground. As a result, the flower is sick, and the bloom itself is noticeably depleted. The Iris transplant contributes to rejuvenation, which increases the number of flowers and improves the overall condition of the plant. In addition, plants are well multiplied well, because it is easy and quickly rooted.
When to transplant?
Many flowerflowers are embarking on the division of bushes in the fall or at the end of summer, as soon as they blend. Is it possible to transplant irises in the spring? Of course, it is possible, because spring is the time of the rapid growth of all vegetation. Spring in the spring in wet soil are good.
The timing of spring transplant depend on regional climatic conditionsBut in any case, it is necessary to do it as early as possible - as soon as snow comes down and the earth warms up a bit. It's not worth postponing, because when late landing Roots can get sick and die.
For spring transplant Irisov should be borne in mind that the plants are likely to bloom only next year. Although there are cases that bloom still comes the current summer, but later.
How to transplant Irises in the spring?
To dissipate an adult bush of irises, it is necessary:
- with the help of Vil, carefully dig it;
- sharp the knife to divide into parts, with each decene must have a length of about 10 cm, several leaves and a well-developed own root system;
- in the presence of traces of rotting damaged parts of the roots of the roots, and the others omit into a solution of mangartee with two hours;
- if the roots are too long, it is better to trim them, leaving no more than 5 cm;
- leaves should also be cut to a height of 15 cm;
- pour all sections with wood or activated coal and give them to dry.
For landing separated irises, it is necessary to make shallow wells at a distance of at least 40 cm from each other so that plants are not closely the next few years. To make a little nitrate and
