Introduction: Iris, also known as blue butterfly, belongs to Iris of Iridaceae and is a perennial herb. Iris is shaped like the tail of a kite, hence its name. Iris is also called blue butterfly because it looks like a butterfly. Whenever the iris is in full bloom, it seems that there are butterflies dancing in the green leaves, which is very beautiful.

Iris is the national flower of France. Legend has it that when Clovis, the first king of France, was baptized, God gave him iris as a gift. In France, iris symbolizes light and freedom.

Iris is a symbol of love and friendship in our country, and white represents innocence; Blue represents the admiration for unrequited love and fragmented beauty; Purple iris stands for love and auspiciousness; Yellow iris stands for eternal friendship, enthusiasm and happiness. It is precisely because of the beauty and meaning of iris that many flowers love iris.

After Sister Rong's introduction, did you also like iris? Then let's plant iris at home. After planting, as long as the following five points are achieved, the iris will soon be fragrant and beautiful!

How to breed iris by ramets?

One: Iris is cultivated by individual plants now, and it will bloom soon. Iris tectorum can do this.

We can buy some iris bulbs for planting, or we can divide them when we divide the pots for iris. Sister Rong's iris was planted in spring when she dug a piece from a friend with a spade and came back to share it. Because all the leaves on the ground are dry in spring, and they are about to sprout. Plants can grow quickly after being planted in flowerpots.

Second, shallow porous pots are more suitable for iris cultivation.

When we cultivate iris, we can choose plain-fired pottery pots or plastic pots, preferably porous flowerpots, which is conducive to smooth drainage. In order to enhance air permeability, a shallow flowerpot can be selected, and the height of the flowerpot is preferably smaller than the diameter of the flowerpot.

Three: loose, fertile and deep neutral sandy soil is more conducive to the growth of iris.

Iris doesn't require much soil, but in order to make iris grow better in flowerpots, we can choose deep, fertile and loose neutral sand. We can add peat, vermiculite and coarse sand to the soil.

Fourth, cultivate the iris.

We can put a screen window on the drain hole at the bottom of the flowerpot to prevent nutrient loss. Then add a layer of decomposed manure to the flowerpot, preferably a fertilizer containing phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which will help the iris grow and bloom, make the iris more vigorous and reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. Put the soil we have prepared in. Generally, we can put it in about half a flowerpot. Put the full and bright bulbs of iris into the flowerpot, and put a few bulbs, depending on the size of the flowerpot. Let the buds of iris be exposed, mostly in the soil, then water them and put them indoors. After the iris begins to grow, the maintenance is normal. How to maintain iris after cooking?

One: Iris hydropiperis, which is suitable for soil moisture in the growing period and is afraid of water accumulation.

Plant iris in a pot and water it once, so we don't need to water it often. We can water according to humidity and temperature. When iris grows, the soil should be kept moist. Although iris likes humidity, the soil should not be too wet during the growing period, for fear of water accumulation, which is prone to root rot. So when watering, you can water according to the soil conditions. When it is dry in summer, we can water the iris in the morning or at night, or we can spray water on the iris appropriately to increase the humidity. When it is raining and wet, we can put iris in a shelter from the rain. In this case, the iris will not wither after watering for 20~30 days, but it needs ventilation management to prevent pests and diseases.

Two: Iris likes temperature and warmth, and is afraid of both heat and cold.

Iris likes warmth and is afraid of both cold and heat. In the cold area in the north, iris needs to take protective measures when it overwinters outdoors.

Three: Iris's lighting management is like a semi-cloudy environment.

Iris is sensitive to light and likes semi-cloudy environment. When growing, if raised outdoors, it is best to keep it in the shade. Without shade in summer, iris leaves will get sunburned.

Four: Fertilize iris, which can be fertilized with pancakes from the late germination stage to the flowering stage.

During the growth period of iris, we applied pancake fertilizer or thin compound fertilizer to iris 1~2 times. Iris needs only a thin layer of liquid fertilizer after flowering. In this way, after the iris blossoms, its leaves will be green and beautiful.

Five: pest management and control

The main pest of iris is scarab, which will eat the tender leaves and petals of iris, thus making the growth of iris unfavorable and affecting its ornamental value. We can do this by catching the adults of scarab. The beetle larvae can be treated by watering iris with 800~ 1000 times trichlorfon. If there are many scarabs, we can treat them by spraying chlorpyrifos EC 1000 times every 5~7 days, and generally it can be cured after 2~3 times.

Tips: Iris is paralyzing, so it is not suitable for keeping in the bedroom.

We keep iris indoors, which can be put in the living room and hall. Don't put iris in the bedroom, because we like its beauty and fragrance. Because the aroma of iris can make people's throats congested and paralyzed.

abstract

The blue enchantress iris is popular, and now we have nothing to do at home, so we can divide plants and breed a pot at home. When dividing plants, you can choose from shallow flowerpots, and then choose loose, fertile and fertile neutral sandy soil for cultivation. After the growth period of the upper basin, watering can be reduced when it is wet and rainy, and the soil can be watered when it is dry; Afraid of cold, heat and temperature; Semi-shadow light; Apply pancake fertilizer and water to promote flowering during the spring growth period, and apply thin liquid fertilizer again after flowering to make the leaves more vigorous and greener; As well as preventing and catching scarabs, iris can become beautiful among flowers.

Finally, don't forget that you like iris again, and don't keep it in the bedroom when it blooms, so as not to cause congestion in the throat and paralysis.
