How to grow Clematis

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: A warm environment is required for the normal growth of Clematis chinensis. Because its resistance to cold is not very high, the normal growth temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees. It cannot be outdoors in winter. The minimum ambient temperature must be kept above 15 degrees, otherwise it will stop growing or easily get frostbite.

2. Watering: Clematis likes moist soil, but there should be no accumulation of water during watering. Flooding will cause root rot of the plant. Ventilation needs to be maintained after watering, which can reduce the growth of bacteria and avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests, so water it thoroughly.

3. Light: It has a certain shade-tolerance property, so strong light must be avoided in summer. It cannot be placed directly on the balcony, and shade must be provided, otherwise the branches and leaves of the plant will turn yellow. But in order to ensure normal flowering, it also needs to receive warm sunlight.

4. Fertilization: Fertilizer soil will promote its branching and the rhizome will grow more ideally, so you can fertilize it appropriately during the growth period, mainly with compound fertilizer, but you can reduce the application of nitrogen fertilizer during the flowering period.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing and cuttings are the two main methods of reproduction. Sowing is carried out in September every year, and can be sown immediately after harvesting, so the survival rate will be higher. It can also be done in spring. After sowing, pay attention to the temperature and watering, and wait for germination. Cuttings are suitable for spring. Choose branches grown in the current year and directly use cuttings. However, compared with the two methods, seed propagation can be planted on a large scale.

2. Pruning: In order to promote the growth of the root system, you can prune the flower buds and side branches appropriately. In addition, cutting off the inner branches and leaves can increase light transmittance.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Stagnant water can cause root rot, so be sure to keep the plant ventilated after watering to avoid waterlogging the roots and causing them to rot.

2. Pests: Pests rarely occur. Just pay more attention to avoid excessive heat and humidity to avoid pests.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic, can be used as medicine, and can be cultivated on a large scale.

2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, it has been used as medicine.
