I read only recently of this phenomenon in irises. Someone mentioned
putting stalks in sand to get increase. I wonder are they talking about
increase at the base of the stalk or higher up. My guess is that
proliferations higher up the stalk would come from the point of
branching. Are there any species iris that do this more commonly?
I agree with you Walter, that it is best to cut the stalks rather than
snapping them, having recently lost a few potential increase using the
snap method.
