Bartiris is easy to propagate through division
Sharing a Bartiris right
So many perennial shrubs can be propagated by the division of their root ball or rhizomes particularly fast and uncomplicated. In Bartiris, planted in many private gardens, the division fulfills another purpose beyond propagation.
Bring the bloody Bartiris back to life
With the Bartiris it can not seldom happen that after a few years plants become blooming in one location. This is usually not due to insufficient fertilization or disease, but simply makes a special care necessary. In order to stimulate the flowering of the bearded iris again, the rhizomes of the plantation are simply dug up, split and replanted at a new location or in freshly loosened substrate. At the same time you will get by the division, of course, a larger number of plants whose Wurzelrhizome you again after a few years again share and transplant.
The optimal procedure for the division of rhizomes
The following steps can be performed equally on all varieties of Bartiris:
The optically easy to recognize, particularly old Rhizomteile can be easily cut off and disposed of with a sharp cutting shear. The remaining parts of the rhizome are cut into about 10 to 15 cm pieces and allowed to dry in the air for about half an hour. The roots grow better after planting when root growth is stimulated by a slight pruning.So that the shortened roots can supply the plant sufficiently in the growth phase, the foliage is shortened in fan shape to a length of about 15 cm.
Do not plant rhizomes too deep in the soil
The rhizomes of the Bartiris grow just below or directly on the earth's surface. Therefore, you should not plant the rhizome parts too deeply into the soil in the course of the division and propagation. Otherwise it could sometimes be that the bearded iris does not flower at all.
Tips
Different varieties of Bartiris flower at quite different times. The best time to split and multiply right after flowering is when the plants are in a certain state of rest.
