Irises

So...the irises Grace, Chloe, and I planted are doing very well, but have yet to boom. They have really turned around from their condition when we first received and potted them. They used to be brown, but since then have regrown and are nice, beautiful, green plants. To transplant the rhizome irises, like we did, you must first separate the new growth on the large rhizome root. To do this, use a sharp knife and cut the new growth off with some of the root, but be careful to expose as little root as possible so the root will be able to heal quickly. Following the separation, fill a pot 3/4 full with soil and plant the root barely underneath the soil. Water the iris plant every other day.
