Good job! Years ago I had a friend who was an iris hybridizer. Here are a couple tips he gave me. Cut the fans in order to direct energy to the new roots. Also remove spent flowers so the plant doesn’t set seeds. He also suggested planting three rhizomes in a triangle for a better effect when they bloom. Happy planting!

As someone who has been dividing iris like crazy over the last 5 or 6 years. My tip is to always cut them about 6 inches above ground before you start dividing them, it makes it a lot easier to work with and less overwhelming.

Thank you so much. I remember when I was about 8yrs old, my mom had some irises in the back. I always cut them and watered them. One year I remember digging them up and spreading them out within that little strip of garden bed. How on earth did I know how to do that? My mom never worked in the garden. It was the only flowers we had. I remember being so happy that next year they bloomed! I guess that’s exactly when my love of flowers and gardens started. Thank you for finding that memory from your video here. I’m 64 now and I love to garden. But I have NO irises in my beds! What a shame. I bet I do next spring. Lol. God bless and have a great weekend. 💕👏🏻

Thanks for such a detailed, easy-to-understand tutorial. I appreciate that you showed multiple examples of what to keep and what to discard.

I just divided mine a few weeks ago. I had never heard about the 7 leaves...good to know. I just planted these a year ago and had plenty to divide and share with some friends. It cost me about $11 to mail and I used an ice pick to punch holes all over the boxes I shipped them in. Before I shipped them, I removed all the dirt and soaked them for a couple of hours in a 10:1 bleach solution. I let them air dry on a covered patio. I’m hoping they will grow for my friends because I enjoyed them so much this Spring! Oh, I also threw away the mother rhizome. Those I replanted have taken hold very quickly. I had to go back and add a little more soil (Purchased) in areas where the roots were exposed from settling in. Make sure you water too! In zone 7a, the first bloom came on my birthday in mid-April.

I needed this video and it couldn't have come at a better time. I have a patch of iris and they so need dividing. Thank you once again for the most detailed explanation on how to do this. I now feel confident to do this. Take care!

Lol. The pup out take is adorable!

This is such a wonderful video! I live how you covered the process from beginning to end, and gave just the right amount of information without digressing. I can’t wait to watch your other videos. 🙏🏻

I love how you divided those flowers

Yes, finally dividing my dozens of irises doesn’t seem so daunting. I’m going to do it!!!

Irises are easy to replant. Just remember - Duck on water - only roots ( feet ) in soil.

Omg!! 30 years growing Iris and I learned something new!! 7 fans?? Thank you?!

I didn't realize they needed to be exposed when planting. Good information.

I loved the doggy part at the end! Wasn't expecting it. Awwwww

Now I know why my iris don’t bloom. Planted to deep and I need to separate the bulbs. Thanks for all the information you give. Looks like I have a project this weekend

Thank you for this!! I never even paid attention to dividing mine. Now I will.

This was the best information about irises I have seen

Got some iris from my neighbor this spring. Bearded and Siberian. Eager to see what happens next year!

So helpful and such a peaceful lesson with the cutest bonus at the end😊

I just learned everything I'll probably ever need to know about my irises because of you. Thank you.

Great video. Your pup is adorable!

I wish every garden I watched was this informative. Thank you for making this video. I learned a lot of helpful information.

I've watched this video multiple times and now I'll try it on my own irises. Thank you for the very clear instructions. Love your channel and IG. So helpful!

Sooo good! I never divided Irises and this is great information thank you!!!

Thanks Yuliya, this is exactly what I need to do! Love the ending ❤️🐶

This video is perfect timing!! Thank you so much for the great information!

Thank you for this video! It is so much better to actually see it done than read about it! You explained it so well, and now I am looking forward to getting it done.

I didn’t know about planting iris with the backs exposed, thanks 🙏 for explaining all about this beautiful plant

I inherited my mom's place about 15 yrs ago now, where I've been living since divorcing in '97. She planted Iris's here that I know most be 30 yrs old. Honestly they don't look like they've been divided ever to me, I've never divided them. Thinking it's about time, they too are blocked more now because of a tree over the yrs. Great tip about when to do it too. Always love seeing Mischa at the ready to help, and what a smarty pants.

Thank YOU, bearded irises we have, since we bought the house, 20 years ago. So Many I will now divide. Will do a 1/4 acre of irises. That's how many we have. Thank You Again you inspired me.

Thank you so much for this video. So helpful, comprehensive, articulate and well described. Loved it!

This was VERY HELPFUL. So many simple, smart tips. THANK YOU.

OH this was very helpful!! I need to divide mine!! Cute sweet puppy!!!

Excellent! I have many iris. Needed this visual explanation of how to divide. Thank you!

Awe Mishka is so adorable! Loved the video, reminds me that I have to divide mine.😊

Your puppers is so cute!

They are my favorite flower and I love planting them and even transplant them in different spots in my flowerbeds

Mine need this I noticed they don't bloom anymore although the foliage looks good. Thanks for this!

You do a nice job of explaining. I love your work!

Thanks for the tips about seven leaves. You are a pleasant person to listen to.

Irises are such pretty flowers and so many different sizes and varieties.

Thank you for this video. It’s been very informative. Never thought to shape the irises into a diamond form. I will be doing that.

We definitely need to divide our bearded irises so this was perfect. Thank you.

Such a helpful video - I have definitely been doing it wrong for a while now!! Thanks for making everything so clear!

Thank you so much! I have a lot of dividing to do this year, and this video was very informative.

Thanks for this. I'd been meaning to do mine so when youtube put your video in my feed today I watched it and went and did it. A much better job than had I just guessed, I'm sure.

Very good instructions on how to plant bearded iris. I used to be intimidated on how to plant them! Thanks very much, Yulia. 👌❤️😘👍

I need to divide mine. Thanks for the video and the cute pup!

Thank you for sharing the great information on Irises learn alot.

Thank you for this. Have a beautiful iris in the front yard that gets sunshine 6+ hours a day but I want to trim it down as it’s rather large.....now I know how to do that. Have a great day!

Fabulous tutorial!

Great job. Now I know the right way to do it. Thanks for this video😊😊🇨🇦

🌿🌿INFORMATIVE‼️🌿🌿

Thanks for this very thorough explanation! And loved seeing your garden helper at the end. :)

I love your puppy. I thought I knew how to plant irises....wrong.....thank you for your tips. Mine are ready to divide and I am so glad I watched you....now to find the perfect time. Thanks for the tips.

LOVE the shot of your dog!!! 🤗

Great video, I have many irises that need dividing now I am more confident about doing this. So thank you.

I'm in Zone 6, Massachusetts and this video was soooo helpful. I will make sure I do it before Labor Day. TY! Your puppy is adorable!

Another great insrtuctive video!

Thank you so much. I just received my 1st gift of Iris plants. About 50! This was very helpful to learn the correct way to plant them.

Another gem.... I learned so much! Thank you ♥️

Very interesting...usually when I divide & replant my irises I cut about 2 inches from the rhizome. I just cut straight across. I don't cut in a fan shape. I've seen other people do that and I don't expose the rhizome because I have too many animals/critters that run around and will pull them right on up so make sure they are good and planted and covered. Maybe it's the type of soil that I have are usually always amend with hummus and manure. I believe my zone 6b. I know that they've changed the ranges🤷🏾‍♀️. But I did not know about the 7 leaves means it will flower that is awesome 👍🏾👍🏾 thanks for sharing that information

Thank you so much for this! I am going to divide my bearded irises this fall and give some to my friends!

Fantastic, you answered everything I had been wondering about, all in one video

This was very helpful, I broke up a big clump of irises last summer and spread them all around my garden, even had enough to give to my neighbors. All of the transplants are now blooming! Thank you!

Thank you for the very clear explanation! I have several large clumps that I'm now going to divide!

This was a great show! Learned so much! Never knew about separating the new rhizomes from the older one. Thanks, so much!

YEP, you needed your helper, of course !

Moved here, zone 5a, 15years ago. Irises were here, I never separated them. Long overdue. Thank you for the excellent video; I learned so much & will now dig, divide, sort, transplant those irises 🤞.

Have been waiting for this. Thanks very good information.

Thank you. Just what I needed. Thanks.

Thank you for such precise information.

Yay!!!! I finally found a plant content creator in NJ! I'm so new to planting

Wonderful no-fuss tips. Been wondering how I would divide my iris plants. They were given to my by our Monsignor in church (an Iris enthusiast). He has since retired and this is my memories of him 🙏❤️

awesome video sooo terrific!

Great video - just what I needed. And the dog is so cute!

This is EXACTLY what I needed. I bought a house 5 1/2 years ago and inherited a property full of irises. They are overdue being thinned out. I have successfully transplanted a few, but was lucky.

That was great. Thank you. I have iris's that have not been divided for about 13 years. But they are doing great and don't have good drainage. But I need to get in there and divide.

Such a helpful video. Thank you so much.

Excellent video! Very well explained and demonstrated! Also perfect timing 🥰

This is an excellent video, well explained and so helpful! Thank you so much.

This is a good video on iris care

Just basically stumbled on your channel . Looking for information on how to divide my irises. My 76 yo mother gave me a fairly big clump of irises from her iris bed. I was happy to get them, but unprepared for them as they were an unexpected gift. I brought them home,and place prepared. It was wrong time of year, I suppose. But I quickly put the entire clump in the ground. I got no blooms that , year. So I thought , next year. Then no blooms again, this year being 3rd year I was certain I would have plenty of iris blooms. I had 1 bloom. I figured out that they were over crowded when I got them ,so I am attempting to learn more. You have absolutely the best , easier, and visually show step by step how to do it. Thank you . I have subscribed, looking forward to more videos on different gardening tips. Thank you , you are very much appreciated.

Another great information packed video! I learn so much from you and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us.

Great info! I did this about three weeks ago (long over due plus I wanted to redo the area they were in).

Lol, your bestie in the end, yup, what a buddy! My girl is also a conversationalist. 🐾

Wow what an education had no idea I was wondering why I was not growing flowers this year thank you for the care on Iris

Thank you so much for all this info!!

Thank you for passing on this information on how to plant Iris. You are a great person. You, & your dog made me laugh.

Looks like u got a helper thanks for the info

Thank you so much 😊 for the information!!! That sounds like a beautiful iris. I didn’t know they came in blue

Great job!

Thank you! I have a bed of irises that need dividing, and now I know how❤

I was told three to a fan for bloom. Think it worked. Had lots of blooms this year.

I always take some leaves off to compensate for root loss, daylillies, sysrinchium, etc. Great timing, I need to do these I inherited with the house. They're up against a dark brick, west facing foundation. The poor things tried to bloom in February! I've got a sunny bank they'd like.

Thank you! I need to do this and now I know how.
