How many years can clematis live?

1. Number of years the plant lives

Unlike annual plants, perennial plants have a long lifespan. As long as they are carefully cared for, they can live for as long as forty years.

2. Maintenance

1. Pruning: It is a vine plant that grows fast and consumes a lot of nutrients. It needs proper pruning. If it is not pruned, it is easy to cause nutrient deficiency. Cut off rotten and dry branches. If they are not cut off in time, they may infect healthy branches.

2. Light: It is not resistant to strong light, so it needs to be placed in a semi-sunny and semi-shady place to allow it to receive scattered light. If it is grown in a sunny place such as a balcony, it needs to be shaded when the sun is strong at noon.

3. Nutrients: It likes fertilizer. It needs to be fertilized every week during the growth period. During the dormant period, it only needs to be fertilized once or twice a month to maintain its vitality. When applying fertilizer, you can use diluted beer and rice water instead of fertilizer, or you can use animal manure and mix it in the soil to increase nutrients.

4. Watering: Watering should be based on the condition of the soil. Water when it is completely dry. If the soil is moist, there is no need to water for the time being.
