Re: Re: CULT: Dividing/Labeling?

Dear Pat,
I have found that coating the rhizome with the anti-bacterial soap before
planting works very well. The protection is long lasting.

after bloom.   This is sometimes better for rebloomers than in the fall.
To help avoid rot, water the newly replanted irises with a sprinkling can
full of a combination of water and liquid antibacterial
>soap, such as Dial.   I use 1/4th cup of soap in 1 gal. of water.   If you
see rot developing, scrape away all the soft mush, and wet the remaining
surface with the liquid soap undiluted.   It has worked every time for me.
