How to care for newly bought clematis

1. Watering

Clematis has a high demand for water. If the soil is dry when you first buy it, you need to water it thoroughly. Be careful not to allow water to accumulate, otherwise the roots will rot. You can choose to put a few more tiles under the pot to increase its water permeability. Do not sprinkle water on the petals, because the petals are relatively dense and the water cannot evaporate quickly, causing the petals to turn black and seriously affecting their ornamental value.

2. Lighting

The newly bought clematis needs sufficient light. You can choose to place it in a sunny place outdoors for cultivation, but be careful to provide appropriate shading when the sunlight is too strong. Once the flowers begin to wilt due to excessive light, you must stop the loss in time. You can cut off the wilted petals and place them in a semi-shaded place and take good care of them.

3. Repotting

It usually takes about 3 days to replace the purchased clematis with a new pot. When replacing, choose a flowerpot with good air permeability and water permeability, and transplant it together with the original soil ball at the root into the new flowerpot. After that, just replace the flowerpot once a year.
