Apply a well-balanced fertilizer in early spring to support optimal growth and make sure to follow recommended dosage to avoid over-fertilization.➡Dormant Period:
Protect bulbs from excessive moisture during the dormant period, and mulch around bulbs to regulate moisture and maintain consistent temperatures.➢Care Tips for Iris Apollo Plants:
➡Watering:
Maintain a consistent watering schedule during the growing season. Be cautious not to overwater, as Iris Apollo bulbs are susceptible to rot in waterlogged conditions.➡Soil Maintenance:
Ensure the soil remains well-draining by amending the soil with organic matter, as it helps maintain fertility and enhances drainage. Monitor the soil pH, aiming for a slightly acidic to neutral range.➡Fertilization:
Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. But avoid over-fertilization, as excessive nutrients can lead to weak stems and foliage.➡Deadheading:
Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent seed formation. Trim the flower stalks at the base once all blooms on the stem have faded.➡Pest and Disease Control:
Inspect plants regularly for signs of pests, such as aphids or iris borers. Treat any infestations promptly with appropriate organic or chemical controls.Testimonials
