I got some bulbs for Xmas and noticed that some of them have some of dusty green spots on them. Should I just plant them?
hould I rinse them off then plant them?
Should I rinse them in a bit of Bleach water? (VERY diluted)
I'm still trying to get some things in the ground!
dusty green mold on Dutch iris bulbs
Rub the them rough cloth & then light bleach rinse sounds like a good idea. Be sure & then rinse off bleach & dry.
Just plant them, and do it right away. That is no different then the little mold that gets on the tulips. But plant them quickly. Blue mold is just a storage problem, it's actually a form of penicillium. If you can just rub the mold off, do so, but a little bit shouldn't hurt the bulbs. I wouldn't put bleach on. If you wanted to put anything on them, I would do a little rubbing alcohol on a swab, but really, they should be just fine if it's only a little.
Thanks everyone!
