How to cultivate small iris

1. Soil

Iris dasyphylla is suitable for growing in loose, fertile sandy soil. It can usually be cultivated with a mixture of peat soil and fine sand.

2. Watering

Do not water it too much in the early stages of its growth. Generally, watering it once a week is sufficient. Make sure there is sufficient water when the flower stems are growing, but there should not be water accumulation in the potting soil, otherwise the roots and leaves will easily rot.

3. Lighting

Iris is a sun-loving plant and needs to be given sufficient light every day. However, when the light is too strong, you should pay attention to shading or move it to a cool place, otherwise it will cause excessive growth.

4. Temperature

The small iris needs to be given a growing environment of 18-20℃. The night temperature can be slightly lower, preferably kept at 14-16℃. It is very afraid of cold, so the temperature must be adjusted in time in winter. The temperature must be maintained at 6-7℃ so that it can survive the winter safely.
