Instruction
1. Bearded and beardless irises make multiple copies division of rhizomes. For this purpose plants which age not less than 3-4 years approach. The best time for this purpose - July, but if you have not managed to make it in the middle of the summer, it is possible to divide rhizome of irises both in August, and at the beginning of spring as flowers take root rather well, but development of plant in that case can be delayed. At autumn landing the bearded irises will not manage to increase rather strong root system, at spring the young plants will please you with blossoming only for the second year after disembarkation of allotments.
2. Dig out bush. Shake off it the earth and wash out in clear water. On landing allotments it is possible to break rhizome hands or to knife it. On each part about one fan of leaves has to have at least or 2-3 kidneys. Cut off leaves on 2-3. Truncate roots.
3. Powder cuts with pounded activated carbon or process brilliant green. Allotments can be landed at once to the nutritious soil. However it is possible and not to hurry with landing as rhizomes quite normally transfer drying and they can be stored within several days.
4. If rhizomes became flabby and have dried up, then lower them for half an hour in solution of epin and at once land in damp nutritious substrate.
5. Bulbous irises will show when they can be multiplied. If the curtain has expanded enough, in it there are several peduncles, then it can be separated into parts. It is necessary to dig out bush after it fades. Separate bulbs, clean from the earth, cut roots and land on the new place.
