How to prune clematis over the winter

1. Pruning for winter

Most clematis plants go dormant during the winter and resume growth in the spring. For spring-flowering varieties, pruning is necessary before winter. Cutting off branches that are too dense and too long will help new branches sprout in the second year. Other varieties are usually pruned in late winter or early spring to help it resume growth.

2. How to survive the winter

1. Suitable temperature: Clematis grows well in a warm environment. When the temperature is below 5℃ in winter, the plant will enter a dormant period and will begin to shed its leaves after about 1-2 weeks. For some varieties that are not cold-resistant, they should be properly kept warm to avoid frostbite.

2. Adequate light: The growth of Clematis cannot be separated from sufficient light. At least 6 hours of light must be ensured every day, especially in winter, long-term light exposure can also increase the temperature of the environment.

3. Water and fertilizer management: After Clematis enters the dormant period, its demand for water is not high, so when watering, you only need to keep the soil in the pot slightly moist. Appropriate fertilizer should also be applied in winter, and slow-release fertilizers should be used to avoid root burns caused by concentrated fertilizers.
