This article will provide a detailed analysis of the reasons for the drying of Iris leaves and offer effective solutions.

The suitable temperature for the growth of Iris is between 15-25℃. Too high or too low temperatures can cause the leaves to dry.
5. Diseases and Pests
Some diseases and pests can also cause the leaves of Iris to dry, such as aphids, red spiders, etc.

According to the growth habits of Iris, keep the soil slightly moist. In hot summers, you can increase the watering frequency; in cold winters, you should reduce the number of waterings.
2. Control Watering

3. Provide Sufficient Light
Place Iris in a sunny location, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
4. Adjust Temperature
Keep Iris growing within the suitable temperature range and avoid too high or too low temperatures.
5. Control Diseases and Pests
Regularly inspect Iris and take timely measures when diseases and pests are found, such as spraying insecticides or pruning diseased leaves.
