This is especially important for the growth of clematis, clematis actually has a certain drought tolerance, long-term substrate moisture will bring a lot of potential hidden dangers to clematis disease, in addition to the substrate potted when adding drainage layer at the bottom of the pot is also very important, filling at least 5cm large-diameter ceramsite or brick tile is necessary.

Culture method of clematis

1, soil: like fertile, good drainage alkaline loam, avoid water or summer drought and can not retain water soil.

2. Watering: early resistance and fear of waterlogging. Due to high temperature and humidity in plum rain season, it is easy to die, so keep the basin soil moist during the growing season. Avoid excessive watering, otherwise the roots will rot easily.

3, sunshine: potted clematis from autumn to early spring of the second year placed in full light cultivation, do not need shade, after entering the summer strong light, will lead to clematis leaves aging yellow, poor growth, need to be properly shaded.

4, temperature: strong adaptability, cold resistance, can withstand-20 low temperature.

5. Fertilization: The requirements for fertilizer are not high, and liquid fertilizer can be applied once every half month in the peak growth period.

6. Pest: Clematis has strong pest resistance. Serious pest damage is rare. Diseases include blight, which may occur especially in summer when the rain clears, when the temperature rises sharply, the branches suddenly wither, and often germinate in autumn or spring. Others have powdery mildew (damage leaves or flowers), virus disease (leaves have yellow spots, flower deformity), etc., sprayed with 10% antibacterial agent 401 acetic acid solution 1000 times. Insect pests are red spiders, thorn moth harm, with 50% fenitrothion EC 1000 times spray kill.
