Watch out for

Bacterial soft rot: Cut away affected tissue with a disinfected knife and allow wounds to dry before replanting.

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers, hand-pick at night, or apply iron phosphate-based pellets.

Iris leaf spot: Remove and dispose of infected leaves and clear all debris at the end of the season.

Grey mould (Botrytis): Ensure good air circulation and avoid wetting foliage when watering.

Thrips: Monitor closely and use blue sticky traps or insecticidal soap if infestations are severe.
