Follow-up care
After the young shoots begin to grow, it is necessary to monitor their development. Vines must be tied to prepared supports and guided. This must be done so that they are all covered with flowers.
Watering
Water the clematis once a week. On very hot days, this should be done 3 times a week. In the first year after planting, plants need 10 to 20 liters per bush. But for an adult you will need a little more water - up to 35–45 liters. Also, do not forget to loosen the ground around the bush after each watering. Alternatively, you can lay a layer of mulch to prevent moisture from evaporating too quickly. You can use unnecessary weeds or ordinary grass for this.
Top dressing
If there is an opportunity to use organic fertilizers as top dressing, then you should not miss it. So, for the winter period, you can fill the ground around the bush with humus. In the summer, a liquid solution from mullein or bird droppings is suitable for this. Those who prefer mineral fertilizers need to know that they need to be applied at least 3 times per season.
- In the first period of development of clematis, a urea solution can be used. 10 liters of water will require 35–45 grams of this fertilizer. Under one bush, you will need to add up to 5 liters of the resulting liquid.
- When flowering begins, you can apply a solution based on nitroammophoska. This will require 35–45 grams of this fertilizer and 25 grams of potassium humate. All this must be dissolved in 10 liters of water.One bush will require one bucket of prepared solution.
- After the plant has completely bloomed, it is necessary to water it with a solution made from the following components: 35 grams of superphosphate and 35 grams of potassium sulfate are needed per bucket. A bush requires 5 liters of this solution.
Preparing for winter
Although such a plant is characterized by high resistance to frost, it still needs to be covered for the winter period. Sawdust, peat, and ordinary fallen leaves can be used for this. In addition, all vines must be removed from the supports and carefully rolled up. They also need to be covered a little. Clematis can only be opened with the onset of heat.
