Do this when you get home
- Buy buds that are just showing color. They'll open in a day or two at home.
- Cut the stems on a slant, 2 cm, and stand them in clean water
Day to day
- Change the water every day and recut the stems
- Each stem usually has two buds. When the first fades, pull it off. The second still opens.
Common questions
Why do they open so fast and fade so fast?
A single iris bloom is short-lived. Somewhere cool, with fresh water often, buys you a couple more days.
