Reasons why clematis does not bloom

1. Proper pruning

Reason: The main reason why it does not bloom is due to improper pruning. There are usually three ways to prune it, namely no pruning, light pruning or re-pruning. If you are not clear about its variety and characteristics and just prune it the way you want, you will accidentally cut off its important branches and flower buds, so that it can no longer bloom.

Solution: First, you need to understand its variety and characteristics, then combine the growth period to determine the best pruning time, and use the correct pruning method so that it can bloom earlier.

2. Increase Lighting

Reason: If it is not given enough light during the growth process, it will grow poorly.

Solution: During the growth period, it has a high demand for light, and only by giving it enough sunlight can it grow well. Usually, even varieties that are very shade-tolerant need more sunlight. In the spring, it can receive sufficient direct sunlight, preferably more than 4 hours. If it is grown indoors, it can be given full-sun maintenance, which will help it bloom.

3. Carefully maintain and wait until the plant grows up

Reason: Sometimes the plant is too small and has not yet reached the flowering age, so it cannot bloom.

Solution: What we need at this time is to wait patiently, then carefully maintain it, give it enough light, and apply enough fertilizer. In this way, after a period of time, the plant will grow up and then reach the age of flowering.
