Good Morning...To root the rootless I just put them in water and add the peroxide at no special ratio. Peroxide is water with an added oxygen molecule which eventually will leave because it is not a stable compound. (Not a chemistry authority just liked it in high school) and then you have just water. I think science is learning of the advantages of oxygen as it it now used for some illnesses in the medical field. That being said does not mean it kills fungi or bacteria especially. I do use it now with a lot of my plant seedlings and plants living in water to keep the water from getting nasty. There are so many unknowns in our water supplies anymore. This year I planted my iris in a layer of sand above the compost and regular soil. My soil here is hard as a rock when dry and mush when wet so gardening is a whole new learning experience for me. My garden is just in it's first year so surviving the heat and sun will be a test. As a child my first love was (and is) violets but oh how I love irises! Most of the ones everyone has lost I have never seen as we always had the old fashioned ones so I feel for each of you! Crying Good luck and hope they will come back! Yes I noticed the weather here too has been different, I have chrysanthemums blooming already! Confused
