Lestv said:Kent's instructions got me searching, and I found an interesting fact from Zydeco Louisiana Iris Garden. Once you remove the increases from the mother rhizome, you can cut 2-3" sections of the mother rhizome, immerse them in bleach and water, then place the sections in a growing medium (they suggest a mix of sand, peat and potting soil) and cover with more medium. Keep it moist and new increases will form on the sections! I have to experiment with that!!

That works with bearded irises, also...I did a bit of "mad scientist" a few years back....I didn't bleach, but did dust some of the sections in rooting hormone....but saw no difference between the "dusted, and the "undusted".
