 Feed Iris reticulata : During autumn let’s interrupt fertilizing bulbous plants; as far as recently planted bulbs, let’s remember to enrich the soil with organic fertilizer. Bulbous plants keep nutrition in particular underground organs, this operation is done when the foliage is lush, therefore it’s not important to give them fertilizer when they don’t have leaves. Temperatures Iris reticulatacontinental : We suggest to position the the Iris reticulata in a partially shaded place, which is exposed to direct solar rays only a few hours a day. These plants can be located in the garden during the whole year; they can stand minimum temperatures many degrees below zero. alpine : For a balanced development it is best to locate teh the Iris reticulata in a place where it can enjoy some hours of direct solar light, but protected from the sun for most of the day. Autumn climate usually isn’t very harsh, in any case these plants can even bear very prolonged freezing, therefore they can be grown in the garden during any season. mediterranean : Locate this plant in a partially shady place, directly lit by sunrays for a few hours a day. These plants can stand the cold and can also stand very harsh minimum temperatures. Irrigation Iris reticulatacontinental : The Iris reticulata needs frequent and regular irrigations; we advise keeping the soil damp using 2-3 glasses of water, watering every 0-1 weeks. alpine : Water abundantly with 1-2 glasses of water approximately every 1-2 weeks, wetting the ground deep down; let’s always wait for the soil to dry before watering again. mediterranean : Let’s water the the Iris reticulata frequently with 3-4 glasses of water, even every 0-0 weeks, so that the soil is always damp, but not soaked with water. Adversity Iris reticulata : When the climate is still not too harsh we should apply a wide range fungal treatment, vaporizing the fungicide even on the soil on the feet of the plants. Let’s remember to collect and destroy the leaves of the plants affected by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease. Iris reticulata -
