I am wondering if pots with a special mix would be a better way to handle new rhizomes over winter. I see a lot of rot and it isn't so bad if it is a larger plant, but if it is just a new single rhizome plant there is not that much area to lose to rot. They when they are grown up maybe they will be better able to handle my garden soil? What is a good anti-rot mix?

Lestv said:I must confess that most of my pots have the garden mix I use in the garden for planting. I have lots of that and ran out of potting mix. Since many of my potted iris bloomed, and they didn't suffer rot like those in the garden I feel they are fine in this mix. I do plan on getting them all out of pots soon though!
