How to cultivate Clematis clematis Culture methods and points for attention

Clematis is a very beautiful plant that can produce beautiful purple flowers. Planting clematis is an idea that many people have in mind, but before planting a plant, we must have a full understanding and grasp of the characteristics of a plant. Only in this way can we cultivate it more smoothly and make the plant grow more perfectly.

How to raise clematis

Clematis like fertile, well-drained alkaline loam, avoid stagnant water. Summer is relatively dry, if the soil can not retain water, the plant is easy to die. Clematis has strong cold resistance and can withstand the low temperature of-20 ℃. But often suffer from red spiders and other leaf-eating harm, the need to strengthen ventilation.

Culture methods and matters needing attention of Clematis

I. Culture methods

1. Soil requirements

Like fertile, well-drained alkaline loam, avoid stagnant water. The most important thing is that the basin soil must be breathable, if possible, choose some better soil, after strict disinfection, poor conditions can use perlite and peat, try not to dig garden soil pot.

2. Watering requirements

Clematis growing well requires smooth root breathing and alternating wet and dry watering. To let the basin soil dry time, generally 2-3 cm below the soil surface dry, can be watered. If it is a plastic basin, it is another matter. According to the weight of the basin soil, it should be watered if it becomes lighter; if you observe the basin soil, if you look at the basin soil, you need to water it. Watering must be thoroughly watered. The concept of watering thoroughly is at least water flowing out from the bottom of the basin. Pay attention to timely ventilation after watering.

3. Lighting requirements

Potted clematis were cultivated in full light from autumn to early spring of the next year, without shade. Strong light after entering summer will lead to aging and yellowing of clematis leaves, poor growth, and need proper shading. In indoor maintenance, it is necessary to ensure at least 4 hours of sunlight every day, otherwise clematis will not grow well.

4. Fertilization method

Adhere to the application of thin fertilizer frequently, avoid eager for quick success and quick profit. There are many varieties of clematis, some of which are not fertilizer-tolerant, such as long petals, evergreen, Montana, and should be less fertile when maintained. In addition, when applying fertilizer to young seedlings, it is best to use only promoting root and slow seedling fertilizer, not heavy fertilizer. Winter is the best season for clematis to apply fertilizer, basically once, manage for a few months!

II. Points for attention

Newly planted clematis need to pay attention to sufficient water in the first few months, so that the roots have enough water to extend.

Clematis is a vine whose branches are brittle and easy to break, so pay attention to timely inducement and fixation.

Clematis cultured on the open-air balcony should pay attention to timely drainage, especially in the rainy season, can properly accept the rain, but not excessive, move to the indoor at the right time.

Pruning methods of Clematis

1. The first type of pruning

As for the way of pruning, we should take into account the seedling age and the type of pruning. For one-year seedlings, no matter what variety, they can be re-cut-leaving 1-2 nodes above the soil surface to click off, or even cut off all the branches close to the ground to promote more new branches. For example, family potted plants can be properly re-cut to ensure compact plant size.

2. The second type of pruning

From the second year, it needs to be pruned according to the type of pruning, such as clematis and Montana clematis, basically without pruning. Only when you need to control the shape of the plant, OK after a little pruning as needed. In addition, the varieties to be lightly cut should be trimmed at a height of 1-1.5 meters. For those that need to be re-cut, only 2-3 pairs of buds, that is, 30-50 cm in length, need to be pruned.

3. The third type of pruning

(according to the observation and study of flower friends, the varieties of three types of pruning can sometimes be pruned in the way of two groups, that is, if they are kept to 1-1.5 meters, there will be more flowers. When pruning, the cut should be about 1 cm above a pair of strong buds.

Maintenance of Clematis during dormant period

When F clematis is dormant in summer, the first thing is to cut off the residual flowers, but keep the branches and leaves, which can increase the evaporation of water. Pay attention to not fertilizing at this time, but you can be properly caught in the rain.

Basically, clematis will recover from dormancy by the end of August, and clematis need to be pruned to grow new branches so that they can blossom again.

The high temperature in summer keeps people in a latent state, and plants are no exception. Summer is the dormant season for many plants, and clematis is one of them, so planting clematis requires some measures to be taken in summer. for example, cut off the residual flowers.
