Clematis is a herbaceous perennial from the Buttercup family. Grows well in subtropics and mid-latitude regions. The most common types easily climb up any support.
Where do clematis like to grow
It is better to plant clematis in sunny or slightly shaded areas during the midday hours, protected from the wind. The lack of strong wind for clematis is more important than ideal lighting conditions. The wind breaks and confuses shoots, damages flowers. When landing, also pay attention to whether water stagnates there.
How to plant and grow clematis
Place the clematis in the hole and cover its roots with earth, deepening the root neck. Place a support next to the flower and tie a seedling to it. Sprinkle the surface of the soil with sand and water the plant abundantly.
How to care for Clematis after planting
The first three years of the life of clematis after planting are the most important, it must be “go out”. Shelter for the winter. For the winter, clematis should be cut off, carefully laid on the ground, covered with dry foliage, sawdust, peat, humus, covered with boxes, and then covered with snow when it falls.
How often do you water clematis
Clematis should be watered twice a week, and very plentifully. Adult vines need at least three watering cans for one plant, young ones need one. Water more frequently during hot weather. Remember that you need to water clematis only under the root and only with warm water.
When to feed clematis
Clematis can be fed in spring, summer and autumn, and it is very important to correctly apply fertilizer formulations at different times of the year. In the spring, it is not recommended to feed clematis more than 2 times a month. The first top dressing is done when the shoots grow, for which a urea solution is used.
