Iris pallida, commonly known as Dalmatian iris or sweet iris, is a perennial plant native to the Dalmatian coast of Croatia. It is known for its striking blue-violet flowers and sword-like leaves. The plant goes through a dormancy period during the winter months.
Iris pallida thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The plant enjoys moderate humidity levels and should be protected from extreme cold.
Bodem
Iris pallida prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil with some sand and organic matter works well.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant in early spring and again after the blooming period to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
Verpotten
Repot Iris pallida every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in late summer or early fall. Carefully divide the rhizomes and replant them in fresh soil.
Voortplanting
Iris pallida can be propagated by dividing the rhizomes. The best time to do this is in late summer or early fall. Ensure each division has a healthy rhizome and some roots attached. Replant the divisions in well-draining soil.
Snoeien
Prune Iris pallida after the flowering period by removing spent flower stalks and any dead or damaged leaves. This helps to maintain the plant's appearance and encourages new growth.
Toxiciteit
Iris pallida is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, ingestion of large quantities of any plant material can cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
Aanvullend
