How to fertilize Copper Iris

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Copper Iris after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Greg has mislabeled my leopard lily as a dieffenbachia, is there any way to change this? #Dieffenbachia

My netted iris wilted in February & ended turning into this towards the start of April. I’m sure this isn’t the same plant anymore but I wouldn’t have a clue? Anyone can help me figure this out 🙏🏽.

Can I get rid of the brown sprouts? #YellowIris Another inherited plant. Not sure what it is but this was the closest looking one the Greg app. I’m wondering if I can get rid of any of the brown bits at the bottom. I haven’t checked the roots but I’m thinking if these sections have died off the plant might benefit from being separated from it. What do you all think? 🤔
