Soil Type

Water: Water requirements for netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' vary: Bearded netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' needs minimal watering, only when dry, while Siberian netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' requires consistently moist soil. Most netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' species dislike standing water, as poorly-drained soil can lead to root rot.

Fertilize: Netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' thrives in humus-rich soil, requiring fertilization in early spring, early fall, and pre-bloom. Use phosphorus-rich fertilizers (5-10-5 NPK) for blooming. Balanced fertilizers (20-20-20 NPK) are also suitable. Water immediately after fertilizing to aid nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Netted iris 'J.S. Dijt', celebrated for its vibrant blooms, requires post-flowering pruning in early to later spring. Remove spent flowers to inhibit seed formation and trim yellowed foliage. Sterilize tools to prevent disease, as regular pruning promotes growth and minimizes pest risks.

Propagation: Propagation of netted iris 'J.S. Dijt' is best achieved by division, 2-3 months post-blooming. Use a sharp knife to divide, ensuring each segment has a 15 cm-long rhizome. Trim old parts and leaves to 15 cm. Space plants 30 cm apart (15 cm for dwarf varieties).
