Disease and pest control
The main cause of diseases and the appearance of pests is improper and untimely care of plants. Also, climatic conditions have a negative impact on clematis.
Wilt
This is a fungal infection, the main enemy for clematis President. Arises from an excess of moisture in the soil and air. The plant quickly fades, turns black and dies. In order to avoid damage to flowers by verticillium wilting, it is recommended to spray the bushes in the spring with special preparations based on fungicides.
Gray rot
Gray mold spreads in a humid, cool environment. Gray, fluffy spots appear on the leaves of the creeper. The plant withers and dries up quickly. The fungus spreads quickly by air, so at the first symptoms, the bushes are treated with fungicides.
Powdery mildew
With prolonged heat and heat, the plants are affected by powdery mildew. To prevent the disease, folk recipes or preparations based on the same fungicides are used.
Rust
If yellow swellings with small particles appear on the clematis, it means that the plant is threatened with rust infection. The disease quickly destroys the leaf cover and poses a threat to the growth and development of shoots.
In order to combat fungal disease, copper-based preparations are used.
Nematodes
Nematodes parasitize the entire plant, from the rhizome to the leaf cover. Unfortunately, effective drugs to combat this pest have not yet been invented. Therefore, as a preventive measure, the roots of suspicious plants are treated with very hot water (+50 degrees), and calendula or dill are planted nearby. Nematodes do not tolerate these crops and disappear.
Important! At the place where the plants infected with the nematode grew, the soil is disinfected. For 3-5 years, it is forbidden to plant flowering vines on this site.
Rodents
In winter, rodents can damage the plant. To prevent the death of flowers, poisoned traps and baits are laid out next to them.

Reproduction
Methods:
- dividing the bush;
- pinning shoots in spring;
- reproduction by autumn layers.
Dividing the bush
... The method is acceptable for adult plants not older than 6-7 years. Older bushes have a developed root system, which can break off when separated. To separate the bush, it is dug up, freed from the ground, cut with a sharp or pruning shears so that each plant has buds on the horse's neck.
Pinning last year's shoots
... In pots with loose fertile soil. The shoot is pinned at the site of the knot formation. The pots are buried in the ground in advance.
As young shoots grow, the soil is covered with a tubercle. By the fall, strong seedlings grow from the shoots pinned in the spring.
Reproduction by autumn layers
... Carried out around October. All flowers and leaves are cut from the shoots to a well-developed bud, which will take root. Long shoots can be rolled up and placed in grooves prepared in the soil. The groove is covered with a layer of peat that perfectly retains moisture and allows air to pass through. Cover the layers well with dry leaves or hay. Water the planting site well in the spring. In the fall, young shoots can be planted in a new location.

Clematis President: caring for a hybrid variety
When the shoots grow up, they are carefully tied to the support and directed towards the lower one. Some shoots are given a horizontal direction so that flowering occurs around the entire perimeter of the garden trellis. This lush flowering plant needs systematic maintenance in order for the plant to develop well. This clematis requires a watering procedure every week, and in extreme heat and drought, the number of waterings is increased to three times a week. In the first year of the plant's life, up to 20 liters of liquid is poured under the bush at a time. And for an adult shrub, respectively, twice as much, up to 40 liters of water. After the watering procedure, the soil is loosened. In addition to all this, mulching is carried out in hot weather; dry grass and weeds are used as mulch.
In spring, the plant is treated with fungicides against diseases and pests. If spider mites and aphids are found in the summer season, the plant is treated with acaricides and insecticides.
It should be said that in the first year of clematis's life, the buds are cut off in order to strengthen the roots of this shrub.

Before the winter season, humus is sprinkled on the landing hole, and in the summer, liquid mixtures of mullein or bird droppings are poured three times. Also, three times clematis is fed with mineral fertilizers. They do it like this:

- During the flowering period, top dressing is made as follows: nitrophoska 35 grams and potassium humate 20 grams are dissolved in 10 liters of water. One bush takes one bucket of such a solution.
- After the flowering period, the plant is fed with such a solution: 40 grams of superphosphate and potassium sulfate are dissolved in 10 liters of liquid. One bush takes half a bucket of solution. Moreover, superphosphate the day before is soaked in one liter of hot water, and then diluted to the required rate.
Specialty stores have a huge number of different flower dressings that are also suitable for this plant.

To regulate the flowering process of hybrid clematis, the President, his shoots are cut twice. After the first period of flowering at the bush, absolutely all last year's shoots are cut off at the very base. In September, those shoots that have grown since the spring are cut off. And in this case, there are two ways.When cutting off the entire shoot entirely to the very root, in the next spring period, the early flowering period can not be expected. To start flowering in June, only the generative part is cut off on new shoots, where the flowers grew.
