Stalled iris - help, please
I bought two baby Japanese Iris (Iris ensata) plants at Home Depot and
planted one in the pond over a month ago. The other looked iffy, so I kept it in its nursery container of aquatic soil outside of the pond to see if it wouldn't grow some. The one I planted had a couple of healthy shoots, but has only added a leaf or two and now seems to have stopped growing. Same with the one sitting next to the pond. The lily and pickerel weed I bought and planted at the same time are growing very well. The Iris in the pond is in a 2 gallon pot in Schultz aquatic soil and fertilized with a lily tablet. It gets about 8 hours of direct sun daily. It was about 7" deep and only grew a bit. I moved it up to about 2-3" deep a week ago and it's still doing nothing. Not dying - just stalled. Water temps are 70-75F now. What else does this plant want from me? -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html '__ rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com |
