Three rules for successful cultivation of clematis

1. Clematis loves to eat and drink well.

2. Clematis likes to keep its head in the sun, and its legs in the shade.

3. Clematis must be firmly on his feet, ie. the support under the clematis must be reliable and strong.

Clematis grow on neutral, slightly alkaline and slightly acidic soils. The water level should be no higher than 1.2 m. The dimensions of the clematis pit are 60x60x60 cm. Add 2-3 buckets of rotted manure or compost, a bucket of peat, a bucket of sand (if the soil is clayey), 200 g of superphosphate, 1 glass of chalk to the sod land or slaked lime, 2-3 glasses of ash and two weeks before planting 150-200 g of complex fertilizer. When planting in the center, you need to dig a small hole, make a mound and spread the roots over it, after planting it is good to shed. For clematis, planting depth is very important - the root collar must be deepened by 8–10 cm, thus forming a strong tillering center, on which shoots, buds, and roots develop. When planted deeply, the plants also tolerate harsh winters better. It is useful to mulch the soil around and plant low plants (annuals are possible), you can put a large stone to shade the base of the bush.

Caring for clematis comes down to regularly tying the shoots to the support with a strong cord, abundant watering once a week (you cannot water the center of the bush) and feeding at least 5 times per season, alternating organic and mineral fertilizers.

With proper agricultural technology, clematis ripens well at the end of the growing season and, if the center of tillering is deepened during planting, it is enough at the end of October to spud the bush with 1-2 buckets of peat, compost, dry soil, sawdust, cover it with oak leaves, cover it on top with spruce branches or cut shoots of the clematis itself, only if the plant didn't hurt.
