Semi-Lignification refers to the phenomenon of Lignification of new branches about 1-2 months after flowering, that is, the transition from twigs to lignified branches, selecting branches with healthy leaves and free of diseases and insect pests.

2. Soil. Soil is also very important, and it is unlikely that you can insert it with a random plug of mud from the ground. Commonly used cutting media, perlite + vermiculite 1:1 (pure vermiculite I do not know how to old and easy to rot branches), red jade soil (just used this year), water cutting (mineral water). After selecting the soil, insert the branches directly into the soil.

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. From the second year, it is necessary to prune 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, just trim it as needed after the flower. 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.

Treatment of withered branches of Clematis clematis

1. Although Fusarium wilt occurs frequently, it is generally not fatal. If only one or two branches wither, the treatment is to prune the withered branches from the blackspots, which will have no effect on other healthy branches. If the whole plant is withered, only the roots are retained after all pruning, and new branches may grow again in autumn.

2. in fact, there is no need to discard the withered branches. if you find it in time, cut off the top shoots with buds, retain some of the semi-lignified branches, and put them in water for a while. The leaves come alive and can be used for cutting.

In fact, the method of watering clematis is not difficult, as long as you see that the pot soil is dry. Clematis in general in the propagation of cutting propagation is the most common, in the cutting time can choose an appropriate time.
