How to water irises? Pay attention to these five points!

Characteristics of Iris:

In fact, irises can be divided into two categories. The first category is irises that live in shallow water or in sufficiently moist soil. The second category is irises that grow in the soil and are very drought-resistant, but require sufficient sunlight and a well-drained environment. Today, I will mainly explain the second category of irises, which are more common in our daily lives.

How to water irises:

1. After the iris is planted in a flowerpot for the first time, it must be watered once and thoroughly at one time, and attention must be paid to its drainage to prevent water accumulation.

2. During daily watering, you can observe the condition of the soil more often. It is best to keep the soil on a dry state.

3. If it is a rainy day, you can temporarily stop watering. To prevent the soil from being too moist for a long time, which will cause the roots of the iris to rot and increase the incidence of diseases and pests.

4. If you want to maintain the ornamental value of the iris, you can use a spray bottle to spray water on the surface of the iris for daily care.

5. If the iris has good drainage function, you can also rinse it. The biggest benefit of leaching is that it can prevent excessive salt accumulation in plants.

Extension: If the iris is grown in sufficiently moist soil or shallow water, there is no special watering method. Just try to use purified water to water the plant to reduce salt accumulation in the soil, because the tap water we drink daily is saline and alkaline.
