How to care for clematis in winter

How to care for clematis in winter

1. Adequate sunlight

Clematis is a light-loving plant, but is very afraid of strong light. However, the sunlight in winter is relatively soft, so it can be placed in a sunny place to receive sunlight. The daily light exposure time should be more than 6 hours to make it grow better.

2. Control the amount of water

Clematis is sensitive to water. Long-term dryness can cause the plant to wilt, while too much water can easily cause disease. In winter, it requires less water, so just keep the substrate moist, but don't let water accumulate in the pot.

3. Supplement fertilizer

Unlike many flowers, clematis should stop fertilizing in summer and supplement with base fertilizer in winter. Generally, organic fertilizer and bone meal are selected and mixed into the soil when repotting to provide sufficient nutrients for its growth. Fertilizing in winter will not burn the roots and will also help with flowering the following year.

4. Moderate pruning

Clematis needs to be pruned in late winter. Except for some early-flowering ones, pruning at this time is not conducive to flowering. For large-flowered varieties, light pruning is needed to maintain the plant structure. Counting from the top, just keep the first strong bud and cut it off at the top. In addition, you should trim the dead branches and dense branches to help its growth.
