How to Propagate wood iris?
Primary methods for propagating wood iris encompass division and seed sowing. Key factors for success include moderate light exposure, warm temperature, and well-draining soil. Special techniques involve allowing seed pods to dry on the plant before collecting seeds, and using a sharp knife for division to ensure clean cuts. Propagation difficulty is moderate; challenges include seed dormancy and slower germination rates. For division, do so in spring: 1) Carefully lift the plant, 2) Detangle or cut through rhizomes, 3) Replant divisions immediately, and 4) Water thoroughly. For seeds: 1) Sow in a seed tray with suitable soil, 2) Cover lightly with soil, 3) Keep moist, 4) Place in warm, well-lit area, and 5) Transplant seedlings when sturdy enough.
