Water: Irises 'Musician' species have varying water requirements; Bearded irises 'Musician' needs minimal watering when soil is dry, while Siberian irises 'Musician' requires consistently moist soil. Most irises 'Musician' are sensitive to standing water, risking root rot in poorly-drained conditions.

Fertilize: To care for irises 'Musician', ensure soil is rich in humus and fertilize in early spring, early fall, and pre-bloom using phosphorus-rich (5-10-5 NPK) or balanced (20-20-20 NPK) fertilizers. Water immediately after fertilizing to enhance nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Irises 'Musician' features vibrant blooms and sword-like foliage. Prune in early to late spring, removing spent stems and damaged leaves. Thin overcrowded clumps for better air circulation. Avoid cutting green foliage, crucial for photosynthesis, to promote vigorous growth and abundant blooms.

Propagation: To propagate irises 'Musician', avoid seeding due to potential changes in flower characteristics. Instead, divide the plant 2-3 months post-bloom, keeping a 15 cm-long rhizome per section. Trim old parts and leaves to 15 cm, spacing plants 30 cm apart (15 cm for dwarfs).
