Cult: Roots
From: Gardenhous@aol.com
Hi all in dividing and new bed lands
I have found that the old roots die and do not put forth new growth. So I now
clip them to about an inch which gives them a little new hold. Some I
shave. But I see new growth of the fans with in a week. Many of the mother
rz which has bloomed this spring have been eaten by borer. I have broken off
the new rzs and planted those and then treated the mother and planted her
without roots and within 2 weeks have nes rz green fans showing on her sides.
So iris just won't say die. My biggest iris death occurs from rot, I
soaked some too long before planting. Once the rot appears unless scooped,
comet treatment and replanted they continue to rot and die.
