The rhizomes that Rhonda praised for cleanliness and appearance all came
from pots. I pot about 2000 rhizomes for walkin trade during bloom season. I
always have a bunch left over that immediately go on sale so I don't  have
to water them during the summer. Rhonda purchased a bunch of the sale pots.
I unpot, bleach dip and mail the content of the pots.

Gigi Hall, one of the two most knowledgeable irisarians I know, claimed that
bleach was the best promoter of new root growth that she knew about.
