Light: receive full light in spring and autumn and winter, shade in summer, indoor breeding needs to ensure 4 hours of light a day. Fertilization: the principle is thin fertilizer should be applied frequently.

Soil requirements

Like fertile, drainage good alkaline loam, avoid water. The most important thing is that the basin soil must be ventilated. If possible, some better soil should be selected. If strictly disinfected, perlite and peat can be used for those with poor conditions. Try not to dig the garden soil directly for potting.

Watering requirements

If Clematis grows well, it is necessary to ensure that the root system can breathe smoothly, and it is required to water alternately. To allow basin soil to have dry time, generally 2-3cm below the surface of the soil is dry, you can water it. If it's a plastic basin, it should be watered. If it's light, it should be watered. If it's a pottery basin, observe the basin soil and turn white, it needs watering. Water must be poured through. The concept of pouring through is that at least there is water flowing out of the bottom of the basin. Pay attention to timely ventilation after watering.

Lighting requirements

From autumn to the early spring of the second year, the potted Clematis is cultivated under the condition of full light, without shading. After entering the summer, the strong sunlight will cause the leaves of Clematis to age, wither and yellow, and grow poorly, which requires proper shading. In indoor maintenance, at least 4 hours of sunshine every day should be guaranteed, otherwise Clematis will grow badly.

Fertilization method

Adhere to the principle of thin fertilizer and diligent application, and avoid quick success and instant profit. There are many varieties of Clematis, some of which are not resistant to fertilizer, such as long petals, evergreen, Montana, and need less fertilizer for maintenance. In addition, when applying fertilizer to seedlings, it's better to only promote root and slow seedling fertilizer rather than heavy fertilizer. Winter is the best season to fertilize clematis, basically once, for several months!
