Water: Water requirements for different netted iris 'Pauline' species vary significantly. Bearded netted iris 'Pauline' needs minimal watering, while Siberian netted iris 'Pauline' requires consistently moist soil. Most netted iris 'Pauline' species are sensitive to standing water and may suffer root rot in poorly-drained soil.

Fertilize: Netted iris 'Pauline' thrives in humus-rich soil and benefits from fertilization in early spring, early fall, and pre-bloom. Use phosphorus-rich (5-10-5 NPK) fertilizers to enhance flowering, or balanced (20-20-20 NPK) fertilizers. Water post-fertilization to aid nutrient absorption.

Pruning: Netted iris 'Pauline' should be pruned in early to late spring. Remove spent flowers post-bloom and yellowing foliage, but retain green leaves for bulb nourishment. Pruning enhances growth, bloom quality, and shape. Consult expert guides for comprehensive care.

Propagation: Avoid propagating netted iris 'Pauline' by seeding due to potential changes in flower characteristics. Instead, propagate by division 2-3 months post-bloom. Use a sharp knife for division, maintaining a 15 cm rhizome. Trim old parts and space plants 30 cm apart (15 cm for dwarfs).
