Irises need well-drained neutral pH soil with as much sunlight as possible. A half day of sunshine is the minimum.

Fertilize your irises twice a year using a formula that is high in phosphorus (that is the middle number). Do not feed lawn fertilizer to irises or allow lawn fertilizer to travel into the iris beds. Lawn fertilizer is high in nitrogen (that is the first number) which causes lush growth and little to no flowering.

Not much. Ordinarily, average rainfall is adequate. The fastest way to kill your irises is to water them excessively during the summer when it is hot.

In warmer climates, plant the iris with the top of the rhizome just below ground level. In colder climates, plant the iris about one-half to one inch deep. Water well after planting; then water again in a couple of days. After that, normal rainfall should be adequate.

Bearded irises require a definite winter season. They won't grow well (or bloom) in south Florida, south Texas, or coastal areas.

Tall bearded irises (over 27") should be planted 12 to 18 inches apart. Median irises (between 10" and 26") should be planted 8 to 12 inches apart. They need the space to expand as they multiply.

Consult the "Grower Ron's Orchid Buyer's Guide" for specific growing conditions for each orchid.

Bearded irises can be divided any time after your last frost date in the spring, but many irisarians believe the optimal time to divide them is 6-8 weeks after bloom.

Every three to four years you should dig, thin, and replant bearded irises in late summer or early autumn. Keep the rhizomes which have white roots and green leaves. Discard the rest. For easier planting, trim the roots to two inches long. Cut the leaves back to about six inches in length with the center leaf of the fan being the longest.

Rejection happens when you place a foreign object in your body (i.e. body jewellery) and your body, for one reason or another, considers that foreign object a threat to your health and safety.

The process of the movement that slowly brings your body jewellery closer and closer to the skin's surface is migration.
